Zepper 2016

It was a normal day in the city, where a crazy inventor was trying to create a new way to travel around the world. He thought to himself. Will it be a plane, or even a bird? Then suddenly he thought to himself. I got it...... it will be a hot air balloon, but instead, the whole thing will be made of metal. After when the crazy inventor had an idea, he started to laugh like an evil person who wants to take over the world. Hahahahahahaha.

The next day, the crazy inventor gathered all of the things that he will be needing, to make his invention. It took about two years for the hot air balloon to be assembled into one giant flying machine. After when the air balloon’s was done, the crazy inventor tested it if it was working. While it was working, the crazy inventor decide to call it the Zepper 2016.

The crazy inventor had a plan. His plan was to get rid of all the planes that existed in the world, and replaced it with his invention called the Zepper 2016. For the past years, the crazy inventor made one hundred hot air balloons. The whole world was going nuts because they really wanted to travel around the world on the Zepper 2016. So the crazy inventor had to put up the price of the hot air balloon to $599 per person. When people were traveling on the Zepper 2016, it wouldn't work, so everyone was complaining that the Zepper 2016 was a rip off and wanted all their money in return.

So the crazy inventor had to destroy all the Zepper 2016 hot air balloon’s and go back to using the plane. Everyone was very disappointed because they really really wanted to travel on the Zepper 2016.

The crazy inventor so called said, that the Zepper 2016 is a big fail. Weeks later the crazy inventor got over the Zepper 2016 and moved on to another invention. Then had his evil laugh..... Hahahahaha!

Konoa Lloyd

Yesterday, nearly half of the class met Kanoa Lloyd. Everyone was so excited that Kanoa came because they recognized her. Kanoa Lloyd is a person who says the weather, on 3 News. Kanoa came to our class, to give the books to the people who were suppose to get it. After when Kanoa gave out the books to the two people, everyone had to go next to her, so one of the teachers could take a picture. When the picture was taken, we all said bye.

How sport has made me a better person

Sport has made me a better/worse person

The three Olympic values are Respect, Excellence and Friendship. All these three values have taught me how to be a better person when it comes to sports.

Respect

Respect has made me a slightly better person at sport. Respect also helped me to respect the other team when the other team wins. Lastly respect has helped me to accept the umpire’s decision. To show my respect to the other team is to shake their hands if we lose or win.

Excellence

Excellence has made me a better person at sport because it has taught me how to communicate with the people in the same team I play sport with. Excellence has also taught me how to support my team players, every time they play a sport. When we play a sport every Wednesday and Thursday, I am always filled with enthusiasm.

Friendship

Friendship has made me a better person at sport, because it has taught me how to encourage others to keep on trying their best. Friendship has also taught me how to work together in a team.

I still need to work on all the Olympic values. I believe that all the three Olympic values has taught me how to be a better person at sport and be fit.  

Lisa Carrington - Timeline

On Thursday, I made a timeline about Lisa Carrington. I made this timeline to sow her highs and lows from when she was born, all the way to 2016. I enjoyed making this timeline about Lisa Carrington because I never knew any facts about her, but now I have. Next time if we do this activity again, I would like to do another timeline about someone else.
