Diving - Writing

As the diver balanced, her body was taut. The audience waited in anticipation for her dive. She magnificently left the diving board with a perfect entry. As she somersaulted through the air, she timed it with precision making her way into the water. The diver entered the water confidently and ended it with a minimal splash.

Hope's Instrument - Instruction

Instrument: Guitar

1. you need a shoe box or box

2. strings

3. pencil for the holes

4. wrapping tube

5. masking Tape

Now cut a hole in the middle of your Shoe box/tissue box. Then cut another hole on the sides for the wrapping tube. Push the wrapping tube through the 2 holes at the side of the box. Then tape the wrapping tube to stable it to the box. Thread six strings across the whole of the box. Use a pencil or a sharp knife to make hole for the string. The strings should be a little bit loose to make some sounds. Attach a strap to your guitar and you are ready to rock!

Hope Explanation - Instrument

When you strum a string of the guitar the string will vibrate and the molecules will move back and forth then it travels to your eardrums and then the electrical signal will go into your brain.

If you drop a stone into the pond the water will move out as the stone drops into the pond. The pond will lift higher than it was before. Like as if you fill a bowl with water and then leave you hand were the height is then put a cup into it and then you’ll see how higher it will be.

A.F.L

Aussie Football League -

9:40am struck and off we went to A.F.L. As I stepped into the hall something caught my attention and my eyes looked straight away at the balls that were layered on the ground. That told me that we were going have a lot of fun.

We started with a little warm up, by playing Rats and Rabbits. I was partners with Quasia, she was a rat and I was a rabbit. When a caller calls “Rabbit!” the rabbits have to run to their home straight ahead before the rats catch them.

First we went over some of the skills we had learnt with Tim in previous weeks.  My favorite skill was doing the ruck. The ruck is how the game starts its similar to the start of basketball. To practice the ruck we first got into threes. Two had to challenge and stand beside each other ready to jump up for the ball when the third person threw it. The aim was to tap the ball onto their side.

Lastly we ended with a game. To play the game we had to get in teams. Our team was called rabbits we had to dodge and get away from the taggers. I sprinted to the other side of the hall before the taggers got me. I leap as the ball went under my leg. “Phew”! I said. I zigzag through the other teams. But luckily I never got out.

We finished A.F.L by gathering together. “Thank you” Tim class 4 said!
