Splendid Scratch

 Kia Ora Bloggers,

For Cybersmart we have been learning how to use scratch.

On Thursday our task was to make a game to help our siblings entertain themselves. I made a game called Balloon Pop where a balloon randomly pops up somewhere on the screen and when you click the balloon and the balloon pops and another pops up somewhere. To start press the green flag at the top and to stop press the red octagon at the top of the screen.

I thought that this was really fun and I would do it again.

Have you ever used Scratch before? What did you make?

If you what to play my game you can here. Comment your high score so others can try to beat it!

Ka Kite see you next time!

Spectacular Speeches

 Kia Kora bloggers,

At home this term, we have been writing our speeches to compete for a position in the Belfast Speech Comp. Before we got to go the competition,  we had to read the speech in front of our home base, (about  25 people), then 5 of the best speeches to read in front of our hub, (about 132 people), and then one Yr 5 and one Yr 6 have the opportunity to go tho the Belfast speech Competition.

My speech was on pronunciation and I presented it in front of the home base on Tuesday and in front of the hub today (Friday). 

I was really nervous, but it turned out that it wasn't so bad after all.

Have you ever written a speech before? If so what was it about?

Ka Kite see you next time!

Amazing Athletics

 Kia Ora bloggers,

This term we have been training for athletics. The activities we have been training for are Long Jump, High Jump, Sprints, AShotput and Discuss. My favourite is Long Jump as that is the sport I am best at. My longest jump is about 2.97m. 

Last Monday we had Athletics day. Athletics day is when we do all of the sports we trained for and get them measured. I got 2.65m in Lomg Jump, and 90cm in High jump. I don't know my results for Discuss and Shotput. We didn't have enough time to do Sprints that day too we did it on Thursday and I got 5th out of 5 runners in my heat. 

What are your favourite sports out of these? 

Ka Kite see you next time!
