This morning we had to make a chair for Ella-Rose's friend Mr. frog. My group was Olivia, Clara, Max and I. We had thirty minutes and the supplies we had were masking tape, newspaper and scissors. My group made five legs a base and the back of the chair. The legs were made of rolled up newspaper. The base was made with folded newspaper and so was the back of the chair. When we were taping the legs on, Katie yelled out two more minutes! We were almost finished when Katie said that time was up and just as she said it ... our chair fell apart! So we obviously didn't win. That's the story of the froggy tech challenge!

PS. this is not ours!

HOORAY.

I am in the editing stage of my affective study!
As you may know from reading my past blogs I am doing a keynote for my affective study and I am studying Sir Peter Jackson and now I am in the editing stages WAHOO!
I am so excited about getting this finished but I have really enjoyed doing it. 
I only have to do my build ins and outs, my transitions and my music. It will hopefully be finished by the end of the term.
I am really proud that I have done it so quickly.
Blog ya later!

Final rehearsal is tonight. I am so nervous about Tuesday night. My granddad and my whole family are coming, eek! Today at rehearsals we will have all of the people from performance throughout the week. We will sort out where we stand. At performance this morning we practiced 'Don't stop me now' and 'Let me entertain you'! I am soooo sick of that song!

Well got to go practice my moves!

GO! said Nicola and with that we all rushed off to the computers to start our studying. The person that I am studying is Sir Peter Jackson. I am working on a keynote about him. The slides include information about his life and his future plans. I am enjoying studying for once! He is very interesting to study. You might get a chance to see it. Watch this space :)

"Hit the music" Ella said. Ella is our new dance choreographer for performance. We learnt dance moves to the song "Let Me Entertain You" By Robbie Williams. I think that the song is really cool. We practiced a few times without the music and a few times with the music. We need a partner for the second chorus, mine is Pearl. I really liked learning new songs!

"Grab a laptop, login and shut the lid, oh and remember that the first step is your table and the floor is your chair" Nicola said I quickly logged in and shut the lid and paid attention to Nicola. We had to do a test to see what our top three intelligences are. My top three intelligences were language, music and self (intrapersonal). I enjoyed doing the Multiple Intelligences Survey. Here is the link to it and here are the four photos that I screen shot! You might want to give it a go! Blog Ya Later! http://www.literacyworks.org/mi/assessment/findyourstrengths.html

"Let's build this stretcher" I said as Katie said: "Go". Pearl, Clara, Violet and I started to build our technology challenge stretcher to hold four flour and sugar babies. We had twenty-two minutes to build four strong handles and a strong base. The equipment we had to do this was: Unlimited sticky tape, four metres of string, two full sheets of newspaper and one pair of scissors! So we got to work on our stretcher and before we knew it it was thirty seconds on the clock to go! Then Darryn started counting down "ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one STOP! I looked down at what we had created. It was not a bad effort and from twenty-two minutes to one second I had learnt that it is VERY hard to build a stretcher in that amount of time! Time to face the course I thought as we were walking over to the obstacle course. It didn't look too hard, but after I saw what we were up against I was worried sick! As everybody else had their turn, it was our turn. So Violet and Clara piled the flour and sugar babies onto our stretcher! As they started to lift it, all of the handles broke off and our chance of winning was 0%, oh well :(
