Brooklyn Dry Dock animation

Brooklyn Dry Dock animation from Team 4 Pes on Vimeo.

Here is my animation about a ship going on to a dry dock. First they fill up the dry dock with water and then the ship displaces water. When the ship is on the dry dock someone who works for the ships pumps out the water so that the dry dock gets lighter and lighter so then it can float up to the top of the water with the ferry on it.

I hope you enjoyed my animation. Please leave a comment down below.

Moas: Add detail to the Beginnings, Middle and the End of a sentence.

Here is a movie we did of the Moas adding detail to a very simple sentence. I've learnt that you can turn 1 simple sentence into a detailed sentence. It also taught me how to write good and juicy sentences.

Year 5 & 6 camp Recount

Wednesday morning was the first day of our awesome year 5 & 6 camp for 2014!!! All the year 5 & 6 students will be there  except for the children that haven't paid our didn't want to come. Our camp group was called the Care Bears Zane and I were  the camp leaders for Care Bears. Our camp was at our school we had to sleep in tents on the school field.

The Care Bears  had kayaking on Thursday down at the beach With Mr Burt that was my favorite activity. I wasn't very good at kayaking but I tried it and then after one round or two I got the hang of it. I felt very nervous about trying single kayak but it turns out that I was  pretty good well not pretty good really good. The number one thing that Mr Burt told us was If you fall out of your kayak you must always keep a hold of your kayak  because it will keep you up on the surface.

Sleeping in a tent was fun but also very cold in the night especially early in the morning. In the tent with me were Ashley and Alyiah they were very talkative when it came to bedtime. Our tent was really messy and it smelt really funny. Our next door neighbors were Zane, Cyrus and I don’t know who the other person was. Everyone had to wake up really early in the morning and then we had to do jump jam that was actually really fun.

When it came to Wednesday I knew it would be and awesome year 5 & 6 camp because we had amazing and fun activities. I was very excited at camp. Being a camp leader was awesome. I really enjoyed camp spending time with friends teaching the Care Bears our dance.

My statistical investigation

I was investigating what was the highest temperature in the morning during the 24th of Feb I found out that the highest temperature was at 12:00pm.  

I have made three different  graphs so you can see how high the temperature went. 

I think everyday the hottest temp will be at noon.

Use your WITS

Have you ever been angry? Well were here to tell you about using your WITS. Your WITS stand for, W - walk away, I - Ignore it, T - Talk about it and S - Seek help.

Using your WITS helps you because you might be in a fight or in big trouble so you could stop and think about using it.

First up is walk away. Being in a fight is not the best option so you should think then walk away.

You do this because you don’t want to be involved in the situation or go into detention.

Now for I - ignore it. You Ignore it by not listening to people if they're not saying nice things.

If you do you will start to talk back and say bad things to them and then maybe you’ll visit the principal's room.

Next up is Talk about it. It is important to talk about if you're in a argument with your friend or anyone.  If this happens remember to talk about it and sort it out.

Next is Seek help. When someone is in a fight you should always walk away and seek help for a teacher. This is because it might become a bigger mess but if you tell the teacher she or he will sort it all out.

Using your WITS help you by telling you what is right. It also helps by sorting out problems and situations. Has this helped you?

The search for the lost diamond

One frosty cold morning a boy named Jake  and his sister Caroline were listening to the radio and heard there was a lost  diamond in the dark and cold forest , " we have to find that diamond" said Jake.Caroline replied " No way not in that forest it's way to cold to walk in and it's a bit spooky"

Later that day when Caroline was having a nap Jake decided to be cool and find the the diamond on himself. Jake packed a bag that had loads of stuff in it like matches, torch, a coat, first aid kit  and some food. When he had packed he went to take a bathroom break.

The clock struck 7:00 pm and Caroline had woke up.5 minutes later she realized Jake wasn't there so she grabbed her coat and went outside to see if he was there. Caroline had a vision of Jake he was in the dark and cold forest alone trying to find the diamond, "OH NO" said Caroline she grabbed her torch and went into the forest to look for Jake, a few hours later she saw Jake standing next to  tree stump. Caroline called out Jake! his faced looked amazed. Standing next to Jake and seeing the lost diamond it was shinny and clear with so many twinkles. Jake picked up the lost diamond and then the two siblings walked back home and showed their parents. Their parents were so amazed and shocked. The next day they woke up and went to their friends house to show them the diamond they all froze.


                   The End... or is it.
