Rm 17's Extreme Courtyard Makeover Eddition


Room 17 is redesigning our courtyard. The following paragraphs are about what me and Shoal's idea's were.

One of our idea's was to put a basket ball hoop on the side of the hall. With no back board it would cost $45.00. I think we should buy a basket ball hoop alone because we could bolt the back board and hoop together.

For the back board of the basket ball hoop it would cost $248.00.I think we should have a back board because if we miss the shot it won't go on to the roof. Also Shoal's dad sells bolt's so we could get some from him.

For our extension task we had to split up in groups and think about a movie for the I Am Making Movies 2. We had three categories Unique Extinct Isolated and volcanic , Bravery heart brake loss and hope, My heritage Your heritage Who's future. My group chose Unique Extinct Isolated and Volcanic. Our Movie is about two students who get caught in a time capsule and getting in a whole lot of trouble.

Redesging A Computer Mouse


Today's task was to redesign a computer mouse. My plan was to make it a different shape make it glow and some how make it make a noise. Instead of having the shape of a computer mouse I made it the shape of a guitar.

I added two guitar heads for clicking and mad e the guitar body bigger so it would suit any hand and it would look appealing. It also makes a sound when you click on any thing on your computer. The guitar looking mouse would have small and very quit fans underneath so it could float.

Redesigning Our Netbook Cases



“ I wonder what we are doing today”? said Vivienne. “ I don't know” I replied to her. As the second bell rang for school to start. Something caught my eye, which was on the projector. When I read it, it said “ the B.A.R key. Bigger, Add, Replace. Our class had to redesign our net book cases, not physically but we had to draw it.

First I made the case bigger so I could have a bigger flat screen television. Also I just saw that I don’t really need the handles so I replaced it with a stereo, and a lot more.
I added these features because it would be fun if we were doing it in real life. The T.V and D.V.D player was added for some more entertainment. Instead of handles I added A stereo so when I am writing or we are aloud free time I could just listen and relax. Instead of getting up and grabbing my net book from the cabbed I installed some little hover craft’s.

Marble Track




Plan.


To make our marble track my group has been given, 10 pieces of paper and one meter of tape. With the amount of six newspaper’s we are going to be rolling them up in to tubes. Our group is going to connect them up at the end of each tube. We are going to be putting holes at the Beginning and the end of each rolled up newspaper so the marble can flow through. Also were going to try and use our tape wisely. I’m going to make the tubes, Chante is going to well balance our creation while Maru is taping it together.


What We Did.


“ I’ll start rolling the paper” I said. “Ok” Chante and Maru replied. As we started our invention strait away we got a positive attitude,but then I heard a plop on the ground. It was our tubes the weren't connected properly. So we tried to make it stronger with pieces of sellotape. Our group couldn't stick to the plan because it wasn’t working as we hoped it would, we were guttered . In the end we did not succeed. I hope that the next challenge will be a little easier.

Finally Swimming Starts

Yes! swimming has began. I have been dreading it for the last week. Before we got to the pools we had a choice, we could go into the big pool with Mr Marks, or we could go into the leisure pool with Miss Garden. I chose the big pool.

As I went into the pool slowly I could smell the chlorine, and when I was fully in the water it was instantly cold. I had second thoughts for being in the big pool, because I knew that the leisure pool was definitely warmer than the pool I was in.

“We are going to do freestyle” Mr Marks said to us.When it was my turn my arm’s were exhausted, and to make it even better Mr Marks kept on telling us what we needed to improve. I had to work on my arms.

After we did all of our strokes we had extra time. When Mr Marks told us we could have free time everybody said “yes!. Me and my friends did flips and competitions. Sadly we had to go out of the pool and get ready to go back to school.
