The Beep Test


In week one, my class went to do the Beep test . A beep test is when you run to the cone and back before the beep goes. That's why its called beep test . The girls went first. They were pretty good but some people were cheating, they weren't quite making the beep in time. The girls were not giving up but some people gave up. The only people who made it were Grace and Gianna. The last person standing was Gianna because Grace slipped on the cone . Miss Vaafusuanga carried Grace on her back all the way to sick bay.

When us boys lined up for our turn I thought to myself, "This was going to be easy." When we started it was unexpected. I did not know that the beep test was hard but i gave it my all up until the fifth level. I dropped out because I was too tired to keep going. Jesse dropped out, Howard did too and Neo, Mikaiha and some of the other boys . The people who were still going included Jonathan who had joined us because he had missed out on the beep test his class did. Frankie was the other boy to finish last, he was a fast dude.

My goal is to last longer in the next beep test. I can achieve this by eating healthy and keeping fit by exercising.

Swimming

When we found out we were going swimming I was so happy, but when I heard that we started next week I was blown away. Before we started our first swimming session, we had to be split into two groups because one group had to go to Mr Marks and the other had to go Miss Garden. Miss Garden had told us some awsome lessons and I was almost as good as the pro group level. I managed to be the third bestest in my group.

When we got there we had to get changed into our togs then we had to hop in the pool, it was so warm. Miss Garden told us we only had 30 minutes so I had to make the most of that time that she gave us . When I hoped in the pool, I was so warm that I did a happy sigh. We had to get out of the pool, it was team twos turn to have a turn.

BUILDING TOWERS


The first day of term two, was when the challenge day happened. We had to split into two groups, because one group had to go to Ms Squires and one had to stay with Mr Marks.

The first group I was in was Ms Squires one. What we did in her room was watch Ellen and see the kid’s who invented some cool stuff in America. One girl made an equal cake size cutter. They had a cake and got the invention that she made and tried it, but it was hard to do so Ellen got it and stepped on it, and jumped on it to make it cut, and it worked.

After morning tea, we had a session with Mr Marks. In the session with Mr Marks we had stuff like, building and constructing. When we started, Mr Marks told us some tips to making a tower good. One of the tips involved holding it still like a tripod. Tripods hold all kinds of stuff. They hold stuff like cameras and guns. Then he said that we only have 20 minutes to build the highest tower. The people that helped me were Timoteo, Lukis, Zyrin and Kyal. It was like we were builders.
