Playdoughtionary
What is it? Miss Tyler-Smith made up a new game called “playdoughtionary”, its almost like pictionary but with play dough.
How to play: You will need two or more groups and each group should have up to two-four children in a group. Then comes the play dough50.Miss.Tyler Smith will write down a word on paper and one person from each group will come and look at the word and then that person will have to make it and the rest of the group has to guess what he/she is making and the person who is making the thing can only say yes or no but if someone in the group gets it right the hole group will shout “PLAYDOUGHTIONARY!!!!” and if its right your group gets a point

The rockin robot theme
I loved the robot theme because we got make a robot and here is a short story about my robot:
One rainy day I came home from an England karate tour and found my room in a mess. I said, “This could only be Lee”. I went outside to my brother who found ‘Battle Boy 2’ so he challenged me to a robot paint ball war. I definitely agreed. I went to my secret laboratory and found the secret robot technology. I had built ‘Probot’ the automatic and the manual robot. Probot has cannons, machine guns a wireless jack, missiles and a type 5 module, everything I needed to destroy Battle Boy 2. Moments later…I turned him on and he went berserk and hit everything in my secret laboratory. I quickly turned him off. I saw that the conductor chip was missing so I said angrily, “Lee must have put it in Battle Boy 2 when I was busy!” It may have taken two days to build but it was essential.

Our Dandy Cowboy Theme
Howdy!!! On the day that we did our cowboy theme we got to dress up like real cowboys and we all brought food that the cowboys eat. I chose to do American Indians for my oral. The tribe name of the American Indians that I did is called the Aleut tribe. Connor did his oral on cowboy clothing which I thought was very interesting. Jessica did her oral on horses which was very good. We got lots of fun and hard cowboy work sheets. My favourite work was the wanted poster. Everyone made beautiful posters for the cowboy orals and Jessica had a very nice heading on her poster.

Our Bean Science Project
My beans took about 1 week to grow a little white root. After about 2 weeks there were about 16 lateral roots. At about 3 weeks there was a little bit of green and some even had 2 leaves and a stem. After, 4 weeks it had a green stem leaves that can grow up to the size of a hand and if you looked closely it had a more leaves. At 5 weeks it was 2 leaves but they were so small and another few leaves was on those small leaves and that was all the weeks.

The Book Corner
It’s the first day of the first term, we were all very hyped up because Miss Tyler-Smith’s Book Corner has the most books in the whole school. So when we got there she said “I have a story to read to you in the Book Corner”. So as the terms passed by we brought pillows and toys. The boys would play with the toys and the girls just watch them enjoy playing with the different toys. Then we got a table and we put it in the Book Corner, whereby Taine got the idea of hiding under the table while we were doing school work. In the mornings the boys would rush to the Book Corner to grab the Garfield book with the jokes as this was their favourite book to read. All and all the Book Corner is a fun corner.

H” Day at *our school*
In the second term we had a day called ‘H’ day. On ‘H’ day people dressed up as hulla girls, hippis, Hilary Duff and Hiy Boy Hine (sports player). Every year we use a letter from the name of our school. Last year we used the letter ‘C’ and I was the only one dressed as Cleopatra, every one else dressed as cat woman, a cool person, captains or cowboys. This year I dressed up as Halle Berry and again I was the only one, maybe next year I will be the only one again.
Next year we will be at Riverside College and so we will start at the beginning again and celebrate “R” Day. Here’s a few things to dress up as next year: Rat, Rider, Reindeer, Reef diver, Ronald MacDonald and Raggedy Ann.

The OracleIn the third term our class got a big cardboard box.
We decided to turn the box into a thinking machine. So what we did was,
we added the smartest brain we could find to the box. After that we trained the
brain to answer all the questions we could think of. Once everything was done
we decided to give this machine a name,we decided to call it "The Oracle"(Taine).
We then started to test out "The Oracle".
Step 1: Write question on piece of paper.
Step 2: Slide question into slip.
Step 3: Wait for Oracle to calculate, think and workout answer.
Step 4: Collect answer. For some reason we got the funniest answers and results.
Question: “How long do I have to live?”
Answer: 1 hour. The Oracle was a bit of a mess up but we kept it because it
was very funny and entertaining.

The Museum and star show
In the third term we went on an outing to a very cool Museum
in Town. Next to the Museum was a very cool place with a
dome shaped roof. We all went into this awesomely cool
place and we were shown a very cool show that was projected
on the roof. This awesome star show had a lot of awesome
special effects like Tie-fighters from star wars and the Millennium
Falcon from star wars it was so awesome. After we went to the
show we went into the Museum to look at all the amazingly
awesome stuff. We also saw figures of how the San and Khoi lived.

Sports at School
Early this year we had a sports day. It was really fun. The events I competed in were the 1200m, the shot put and the high jump. I am in Red Team. Before the day we practiced singing team songs. We sang so loudly I was sure we would win. When it came time for my events, I gave put in 100%.
At the end of the day Red Team won and I felt so proud of myself and team.

The Talent Show
The talent show was very fun. We were given the option of performing an individual talent, or joining our class for a group performance. My friends and I decided to write, direct and act in our own play entitled “The Secret”. We practiced everyday for a month. While we practiced we changed it to make it better. On he night I felt excited and overjoyed. We received a standing ovation and the audience loved it. As we took a bow, I thought to myself how sad I was that it was over.

When we got at the camp site we looked at the dorms there were about 20 beds all together. There was a girl dorm and a boy dorm. We weren’t allowed to go into each others dorms. We each had to our own sleeping bag and a pillow. If you brought food into the dorms you would get ants!!! Now for food…… For lunch our parents packed in food for us. For supper we had: Burgers. On the second day for breakfast we had: Vet coke or jungle oats. For lunch we had: Hot dogs. We had supper at about 6:00 for supper we had chicken with wedges. The last day at S.O.S campL For breakfast we had: French toast. For lunch we had: a sandwich with Melrose cheese spread on. Camp was really fun. We also went to the tuck shop twice a day

At SOS school in the wild there was a lot of animals porkpie, rabbit, cow, hours, duke, gout, chicken, camels, llamas, alpacas, donkeys and so on when we went to see most of the animals a chicken chased Gabriel so now he is afraid of chickens accept KFC that’s his favorite. At SOS camp I learnt a lot about animals and when I grow up I would like to be a vet to help animals. and the funniest thing was that the camel was using the bathroom when we went to go and see him and I that that a lamer was a sheep I did not know what a lamer because I have never seen one before
