Skydiving
On Tuesday the 26th of June we went skydiving. When we got in the plane the person driving stopped in a place that he knew was going to be safe to land after we pulled the parachute. The first thing we had to do was get some protective clothes on. Then we had to put a breathing mask on.
After we got changed and put our masks on we had to walk by the door and then we had to turn around and jump out the door backwards. We had to jump backwards because it was the safest way to skydive. Before we jumped out I was feeling a bit nervous. When I jumped out the door I started to panic but then I realized that it wasn't that bad and it felt so much better than waiting by the door.
The wind that was bouncing off my face felt like a cold shower but just on my face. It was freezing! I was okay because I knew that when we would pull the parachute then we would slow down and it would feel much better. I just didn't think about the coldness and I was feeling okay.
When we were in the sky falling it was so fun especially when I felt the clouds because they felt like cotton candy. It took a while for us to almost reach the ground because of how high up we were. When we were close enough to the ground we had to pull our parachutes and when I did it yanked on me and pulled me up so I could go a bit slower. When I hit the ground I felt so relieved.
I loved going skydiving it was so much fun. I highly recommend it to anyone. As long as you aren’t scared of heights I think you would love it. If you get a chance to go I hope you have fun.
Please leave a positive comment and I hope you like my recount of when I went skydiving.

Animation Writing
This term we have been learning about the forces of flight. I have been animating a tennis ball that is using the four forces: Lift, thrust, drag and gravity/weight. In my animation a tennis ball is flying past lots of things. The tennis ball is staying up in the air because the lift is more than the weight/gravity. It is going forward and staying like that because the thrust is more than the drag. Thrust makes things go faster and go forward. Lift helps the object stay up in the air,. Drag makes sure thing don't go to fast it also makes things go slower and gravity/weight causes things to stay down at earth. It also makes sure that the object doesn’t go to high in the sky. In the first part of my animation there and two sisters playing a game of tennis. There names are Jane and Eva. When Jane hits the ball again Eva couldn’t get it so it went flying past all of my backgrounds. I had lots of backgrounds I hope you enjoyed my animation thanks for watching my animation feel free to leave a positive comment.

Matariki Recount
On friday morning it was matariki day. We first started the day of with our assembly. Then when the assembly was finished we came back to class and found out which group we were in. A few days before matariki we got to choose what group we wanted to be in and we had for choices. My first choice was Cooking next sport after that it was Movie making then it was arts and crafts. I got picked to be in Movie Making and it was kinda disappointing because I really wanted to be in cooking but Movie Making sounded kinda fun.
We Were Making Movies in the green screen room and when I got there a lot of people were already there but we were still waiting for the rest of the people to come so we were waiting for a while. Then when everyone were there we got to read the script that we were going to act out and the name of the movie was stars in their eyes.
The first thing we needed to do was we had to find out who everyone wanted to be and I wanted to be god of the wind so I got to be god of the wind after that we went to get our costumes and they were the senior kapa haka clothes. The first scene didn’t include the costumes but on the next scene we needed the costumes. I was the person that created the seven stars. The stars were made because the god of the wind was angry because two people couldn’t be in love.
We got to film the whole day except for when it was morning tea and lunchtime. We couldn’t finish in time so we did not show it in assembly. When we were at assembly we were gonna play a game while we were waiting or everyone else to come but they all came before we could start the game but it was okay. We got to see all different kinds of creations and movies but sadly we couldn’t. Show our movie. It was so fun we almost finished our movie but we haven't yet so we might finish it soon and when we do it's gonna be on the PENN. I can’t wait to see what our Movie is going to look like.

The Bucket
One day there were lots of animals and they were a Donkey, rabbits, birds, bees, a bull and a roster. They were walking in a big group trying to find some water to drink. They were walking for a very long time. When they were walking they saw lots of different things. Every time they went past somewhere they checked to see what it was but they only checked to see if it was water. The first place they walked past was a farm that only had pigs so they checked it but it had no water. The next place they saw was a school the didn't have much kids there but there was a water fountain but they didn't know how to work it so they left. Then after that they went past an abandoned house and nothing was in there so they did not want to check because some of them were scared and some were just so tired they couldn't walk. So the animals sat down for a while then they new they had to keep going so they got back up. After that they walked past the last place they forgot to check but the only animal that didn't forget to check were the bees. So they checked and there it was, water the bees were so relieved but they knew that they had to get all of the other animals so the bees ran to the rest of the animals and got them to come so they all ran as fast as they could. The bees drank some water first then the birds, after the birds it was the rabbit next the rosters then the donkey and last the bull. As soon as they were all finished drinking the water they all walked back to there home but before that they went to the donkeys farm and they were so happy to finally have some water but then all of the animals wanted some more food and they all thought that they were gonna have to go for another trip but luckily the farm carer gave some food to all of the animals then after that they all went to there own home the donkey stayed at his farm the bull also stayed at the farm the bees went to there beehive the rabbit went back to its hole the rosters went to the darn and the bird went to there bird house.
Today we had to show what we can write in 40 minutes without talking to others. we were able to work quietly to complete the task.
