Falling Babies!!!!!!!!

Babies lined up one by one. the stretcher moves - the babies don't make it - we were under attack.

Today we had a technology challenge to make a stretcher to hold four sugar babies. I was with Jemmimah, Cassie, ,Jacob and I.  We finish and we line our babies up, then lift. Oh-oh! Our handles fell off.  It was stronger when they were off but we had already failed.  How strong you ask? Well strong enough to hold me.

we only got 4 meters of string
2 news papers 
unlimited tape
and scissors   

The impossible is possible

Is it possible?

That one day we will use jet packs instead of cars?

Have birthday parties in space?                          

            

You will be rich?

You will climb Mount Everest

You will be famous

It could be possible because the first computer was as big as a kids bedroom and look how small they are now and cellphones were bigger than they are now.So anything can happen because technology gets even better and if you do something to make it happen.  Things happen when people don't expect it like rich people, people who have climbed Mount Everest and famous people you could be one of them who knows!!!!!!

Thats all for today, bye.

Chipmunk

hello
HELLO 
HeLlO
hhheeeelllllllllllllloooooo

Today at MADE Awards, we went onto our practice movie and learnt how to change the vOiCeS of the people in the movie. There were heaps of different SoUnDs to pick. I picked the one that sounded like a chipmunk.

We also did voice-overs, which is when you can talk over the video, but the original voice in the video  would be silent, or taken away. 

We also learnt how to add in an instant replay. 

This was really fun today!

Human sandwich!

Hello! Today we did drama.

We did an activity called '10 Second Objects', (spatial drama). We were in a group and Nicola would call out an object that we had to make.  We didn't have any equipment to use, except ourselves!

We had to make:

• A Saturday morning breakfast
• A fire
• A sandwich
• A washing machine
• A clock 

We also did another drama activity called 'There is only one liar', (psychological drama).  We sat in a circle and closed our eyes.  Nicola went around and tapped someone on their shoulder.  Once she had gone round the circle, we had to open our eyes, and guess who was tapped on the shoulder, by pointing to the person.  Nicola did this twice.  The first time, she didn't tap anyone, so she was the liar.  The next time, she tapped everyone, but we all pointed at someone else, so we were the liars!!

Get me out of here!

Sometimes when you are tired or unorganised, even when you are worried you can find your self in 
the pit. You might wake up in the morning all happy until you realise you haven't done your homework and you start panicking.

You can get out of the pit by asking someone for help, or telling someone about your problem.  It will start to get easier, but not if you keep it to yourself.

Don't stay in the pit because it will just get deeper and deeper and the problem won't go away.

"How about a mini science lab" asked Katie? 

Hello, and welcome to my blog. 

Today for MADE Awards, we changed our idea for our documentary.

"What to?" you ask. A mini science lab with fun experiments 

which will appeal to children in Year 4-6 and it will also have lots of learning!

Pretty good idea, I know!

That's all for now. Bye.

Lord of the Rings...

Task commitment, Creativity and Above Average Ability are the three rings that I learnt about today!  

I'm Natasha, in case you've never read my blogs!

Today we learnt about these three rings. Which form a model of giftedness according to a man named Renzulli!

First there is above average ability, which means you might be working at a higher level than your age.

Next there is creativity, which means you have unique ideas!

Lastly, there is task commitment, which means you must stay on task.

Renzulli believes that you need ALL 3 of these things to be gifted!
