Rocket Collage

On Friday, after tech, the year seven and eight's went with Mr Dunn to make some rockets. Before we made rockets that would be launched into the air, we made straw ones. Here is a collage showing some people flying or making their straw rockets in time order.

Rockets Tech

At Tech we were working on two types of rockets. A straw rocket and a Paper rocket. I was working with Daniel, Lyndon and AJ. The first rocket we had to do was the straw rocket. We cut out pieces of paper then attached them to our straws with sellotape. We did the same with the top of the straw where we bent it and sellotaped it. We then put the small straw in the a big straw. We also used the big straw to blow the rocket out and watched it fly.

E group pigeons

This google presentation is the one the E group (of the DARE) was working on. It shows what we have done in reading about pigeons being pests or special. We have done our opinions, a montage, ideas and synthesized. For those who don't know synthesizing is where you take the prior knowledge (knowledge you already know about the subject) and put it with the knowledge you gain to form/make a new opinion about the subject. We also looked at both sides of the subject as to why pigeons are pests and why they are special.

PBS Athletic Day

We had athletics day where the entire school of PBS did activities such as: Long jump, shot put, hula hoop discus throwing, etc. We were separated into groups so we could compete with our students from our year group. There were three groups for year 8 the team captains were Gozan, John and Cecillia. I was in Gozan's group with Tai, Paige, Reon, Zeba, Mahdia, Sajiha and Victoria. We all had fun and encouraged each other, sadly athletics day was canceled and we only got to do a few games but we still had fun.
