Game Invention

What is needed to know:

• Where it is played ~ In a square shaped coned area.
• Equipment ~ Cones, blindfold & small tennis ball
• Players ~ 10+
• How to win ~ You have to try not to get hit by the ball from the tagger that is blindfolded. If you get hit then you are out and the last person standing ( apart from the tagger ) wins!
• Rules ~ you have to move around ( in the space that is provided ) and when the tagger says freeze you have to be standing still. Then the tagger gets a chance to throw the tennis ball anywhere they want but they have to try throw it at someone to get them out.

Rules:
In this game you have a provided space ( a square ) with cones around it. There is a tagger who is blindfolded! The players will run around in the space of the square and they have to try not to be tagged. The tagger will get to say ‘freeze’ whenever he or she wants when the tagger says ‘freeze’ the other players have to stand still. The tagger cannot repeatedly say freeze.

When the tagger does say freeze he or she has to throw the ball at someone and where they think they are standing.

If there are any questions about this game please ask either:

Samantha Matthews, Molly Deck, Sophie Quayle or Chloe Jackson

You should have a go at playing our game!

My Narrative

Electronics Year 7

NEW UPDATE ON SNAIL RACE

Scientists ( Room 20 ) have just found out that 7 really is the best because it has 6/36 chances of winning but the rest have 5/36 and under chances, so that proves it! 7 really is the best number to get, the one number that I have never had. Where as number 1, 2 and number 12 don't have a very good chance because number 1 has 0/36 chances of winning, 2 has 1/36 chances of winning and number 12 has 1/36 chances of winning.
( I have had 1 before, It was cruel, I went no where.)

probabiltiy snail race game

First place - 7
Second place - 6
Third place - 5

this game is about probability since we have been learning about probability in class for maths.

Snail race rules:

1) set up your board and 12 'snails' or numbers.
2) make sure someone is in charge of moving each snail.
3) take turns rolling two dice & add the numbers together
4) Move that number snail one place along the board.
5) keep playing until 3 snails have crossed the finished line.
6) record the 1st (5 points) 2nd (3 points) 3rd (1 point)
7) play the game at least 5 or more times.

When me, Molly, Zoe, Taylor, Samantha and Sofia.V played we found that number 7 won, we found that it is because there are lots of chances of getting 7 like:
3+4
5+2
6+1

7 also won yesterday when we played the game!
1 never won because you can't get a one from 2 dice
Give this game a go it's really fun!☺
Have a look at these pics of our game:

Bridge To Terabithia Novel Activity

This poster is by Me, Hannah and Sophie. We chose to do Friendship and Courage we put lots of different quotes that we think match with the book. I definitely recommend watching the movie and reading the book because they are both very good. It teaches you a lot about friendship, Courage and Kindness. Bridge To Terabithia also gives a good message, saying that you can get through pain even if it seems like you never will.

Here is a link to bridge to terabithia movie:

Revolution Tour

This morning, HNI went into the hall and there was a group of performers called RVLTN, ( revolution Tour. )  We had so much fun! A guy called Blake told us an amazing story about how you can make a change and how there is value in everyone. I want you to look to the person next to you and say " I see it in you my friend."  That is what everyone needs to here and that is what Blake told us, that one of his primary school friends said that to him when he didn't believe in himself.
You don't just need to believe in other people, but yourself as well.

Mothers Day Poem!

Hair, the colour of the chocolate that she eats on a friday night.

Her look makes me want to smile, She’s so calm when she is seated in the living room (her zone)

She’s like that.

As I go in to hug her I get the strongest smell of perfume, mixed wiŧh the smell of freshly baked muffins. She loves baking.

She’s like that.

Her touch is as delicate as a snowflake. Delicately she comes in to give me hug.

She’s like that.

She makes me laugh when her laugh comes raging out.

The voice I need to tell me everything is going to be fine is her voice.

She’s like that.

To Mum.

                From your truly grateful daughter, Chloe.

Dance Writing Report

                       Dance    

                

Dance is a form of art and is a way to express yourself without words. Dance is loved by many girls and boys all around the world.

                                      Rules in dance

Just like in other sports, dance has rules. In dance you need to point your toes, have your hair tied up out of your face and spot on your pirouettes.  You must also have good manners and respect other people and the dance teachers. You also need to be a good listener because if you learn a dance or a move you need to watch and listen so you know how to do it.

                                  Common Dance Studio Styles

There are many types or styles of dance. These dances require different music than others and the dancer moves their body in different ways. In jazz the music is upbeat but in ballet the music is more delicate and graceful.

These dance styles are enjoyed by many people that go to a studio.

It’s nice to be able to dance different styles as well as Jazz and Ballet there is Contemporary, Musical Theatre, Acrobatic dance( Acro ) and Hip Hop.

                                               Who Can Dance

You don’t have to go to a Dance Studio to be able to dance. You could dance in the kitchen while cooking (be careful you don’t hurt yourself), You could dance in your room or you could make up cool dances to music in your backyard. You don’t need a lot of space and you don’t need to do all the graceful dancing, you can just mess around a bit!

                What Does It Take To Be A Famous Dancer

There are a number of ways to become a famous dancer, but they all require Hard work, dedication and the ability to handle rejection.

You also need to have the time to practice and the time to do dance and get involved in as many dance things as you can. Being a dancer is like being an athlete, you need to keep healthy and eat well.

                        The Most Famous Dancer In The World

Mikhail Baryshnikov is a famous dancer and is known all over the world for his incredible talent he is not only just an amazing ballet dancer but he has created movies and books!  Mikhail Baryshnikov is aged 69 and was born on the 27th of january 1948.

Dancing helps gain lots of confidence and

it also helps you to work with other people.                          Practice like you’ve never won.

                                                                             Perform like you’ve never lost.

Lightning Never Strikes Twice!

Lightning Never Strikes Twice.

There I stood, looking at all the stormy clouds pass.

I sat down on the soft golden sand watching the waves crash and tumble to the ground. All of a sudden, there was rain pouring, loud thunderous noises screaming from the sky. Lightning strikes all around me, then stops and then again in the same place the lightning came back.

‘Lightning never strikes twice’ I thought

An Icy Plunge

        Pobble 365              An Icy Plunge         24/05/2017  

                   

---

          

The young pup peered down into the icy water below with a growing feeling of trepidation. Only a few days old, she had learnt so much already from watching her mother, but this challenge was her greatest so far.

How would it feel to be submerged? What would she find lurking underneath the surface? How would ever she get back onto dry land?

Questions flooded her mind like a torrent of icy water, but bravely she inched closer to the edge… She slid closer and closer until Plop! She had gracefully fell into the water including a little plop from the water. Soon she had reached the bottom of the ice cold water, nothing was stopping her. The water was rushing past her face like silk. She was swimming as fast as she could so she could reach the island that she had been wanting to visit after swimming for 10 minutes!

FInally she was there. She pulled herself up with all her might on to the icy island. She felt proud of herself and she knew that her mum was very proud of her as well.

A Walk Into Wonderland

This is my piece of writing that I am very proud of. I love all of the questions that I have put in there and I love how I included different colours and pictures to make it interesting to look at and read.

  The Time I took a stroll into

                    WONDERLAND

           

I was quickly attaching the name tags to my backpacks with my phone number as well as my name on it, then I packed the heavy backpacks into my sky blue Range Rover and hit the road. Out of town.

Whilst I was driving I came across a HUGE Castle and a beautiful garden that I knew people must play croquet on. I took a turn and drove over the gravelly driveway.

I knocked nervously on the polished gold and silver doors, I twiddled my thumbs as they slowly creaked open, I walked anxiously into the spacious red, black, silver and gold castle.

I could tell that whoever lived here must be a very big fan of the colour red!

I silently crept two steps then stopped and I stood there shocked and while I was taking it all in I noticed that every single thing was red:

• Red checkered flooring
• Red modern couch
• Red coffee table...

    And so on…

This was very awkward and interesting at the same time,

Because there was pigs running around like crazy chickens and frogs making raspberry jam tarts, Whilst Red haired, big headed woman was sitting at the table reading a book and funny enough the book was red!

Suddenly the guards started charging at me with big huge silver swords!

I gasped knowing that my adventure, well maybe even my life was going to end.

The woman shrieked with all her might and then she took a good look at me and noticed who I really am.

“Oh WOW! It’s really you!" Yes Aunty Iracebeth” (By the way Iracebeth is the Queen of hearts  )

“did you pass my tweedle dee and tweedle dum they are my cute little fat boys!” said Aunty Iracebeth

Reading the story can you guess who I really am?
