In our class we have been working on furniture design for the street.The main thing about designing furniture for the street, is so that we can have a better place to do our work on our netbooks. So when visitors come in they can enjoy our place too.

We searched the Internet to get some ideas for our furniture. We all received a paper and a pencil to sketch designs of our furniture. We all went home and we collected some ways that could be recycled, like toilet rolls, boxes and wood. After we finished making our prototypes we papermashay them with newspaper together with p.v.a glue.

We waited til our prototypes got dry and then we painted them and wait till the paint gets dry.

Rhyming Poem - Limerick

Humpty Dumpty fell off the wall
suddenly he was really small,
He broke into lotsa pieces
These were taken by lots of meese’s,
Poor Humpty who fell off the wall.

"If ..........."

If I had super powers,
I would be invisible,
If I had super powers
I would be super strong,
If I had super powers
I would be super fast,
If I had super powers
I would help people,
If had super powers
I‘d be a SUPERHERO.

Who invented the popsicle?

In 1905 the Popsicle was invented by an eleven year old boy named Frank Epperson. He invented the Popsicle by leaving his soda outside on a cold night and then next morning it was an ice block and that is where Frank
Epperson got the idea of making ice blocks.
Epperson was born in 1894 and died in1983 at the age of 89. He was educated at the Indiana University.Frank Epperson, who accidentally invented the Popsicle at age 11, later worked in California as a powdered lemonade vendor before eventually patenting and selling the rights to his creation to Popsicle Industries. One individual told him about a six-inch glass test tube that he used as a mold. He then invented a machine to make the frozen treat and also stamped his name on the wooden stick. Later, George, Frank's son (he was a father of five children) , renamed the treat - Popsicle, in honor and with permission of his dad.
Frank Epperson’s invention is important even today. Ice blocks are important because they can help you on a very sunny day and they can help you by making you cold.

Motorbikes

Did you know? Motorbikes have changed over the past 100 years.

In the past, motorbikes use to look like mountain bikes, but not any more because they have gone Bigger, Better, Stronger and Faster. I am sure that motorbikes are going to change again in the future, I think there’s going to be flying motor bikes!

The first type of motorbike was the steam powered velocipede. It was invented by Sylvester Howard Roper in 1869.
In the present there are different kinds of motorbikes, there are: Honda, Suzuki, Yamaha, Kawasaki, and many more.

Looking Back- Looking Foward

LOOKING BACK - LOOKING FORWARD
Last term at our school we had lots of fun and many things to do such as the year 7 and 8 camp. It was held on the school field.

The school picnic was cool too because we were playing a lot of sports such as cricket and base ball, my favourite was base ball.

Glee was one of the many other things to do to.

Last term was our first time to use our Netbooks and I enjoyed it, it was also the first time our school was to compete in the rugby sevens tournament our boys managed to win the tournament.

This term our topic is Bigger,Better,Stronger,Faster, and it is all about innovation,imagination, discovery,creativity and practicality.

I think this term is going to be cool just like last term because this term I joined some of the many activities and the things I will joined this term is glee,rugby, soccer and KFC but it is not the food KFC it is the kids fitness club.
