My Writing Activity/Bubbl Us

For Felts writing activity we made a bubble us about something we did in the holidays. This is mine i hope you like it.

My Holiday Story

In the holidays when my ten year old cousin came up to my house I noticed a nerf package in his hand, he had brought a long shot pack nerf gun set. It had two guns and a dart vest, when we opened up the package we loaded the guns and straped on the vest. We were finally ready for war, I ran to hide behind the car but he notice me and shot me in the back of the head. After he had shot me he ran off and was nowhere to be found. Suddenly out of nowhere my cousin jumped out of the tree and shot but he missed so i quickly shot and it stuck to his vest. So then I chased him, all I needed to do was shoot him and I would win. As I shot him, he dodged it and the bullet went over the bank. He shot me in the chest and won the game.

About Stars

When you look at the sky during night you might see many stars. If you are camping in the mountains or the desert away from the cities bright lights you may see thousands of stars. You might even be able to  see a milky way. In a city you can't see as many stars because the city lights are to bright. Their brightness distracts from  the stars. There are different kinds of stars, there are big stars, little stars and also a couple of stars have been found over 100 to 200 times larger then the sun. Some very old stars are smaller then Earth. Scientists study stars and place them in groups based on how they are  alike and how they are different. At the end of stars lives they explode into what is called a Supernova here are some pictures.

Room 15's Assembly Item

On Friday Room 15 did an item at assembly.

She hires her evil friend Daisy to turn Mr Roberts the butler into a cat, Made Jules the maid into a frog and Sleeping Beauty's friend Sandy man into to a bucket of sand. In the play I was Sandy Man Sleeping Beauty's friend. I was meant to have a meeting with her about the fantastic mattresses that she had made and to hopefully open up a factory. I think that the play was amazing. Here is a video. I hope you like it.

The aim is to try and get the huge ball to cross the other teams line and into their territory by throwing dodge balls at it. In music we focused on drums. For the first bit of music we talked about music notes then Mr Berryman showed us all of the different types of drums. After looking at the drums we were shown a video clip of a guy playing this really weird cajon drum then we were allowed to play on the instruments. It was t-riffic.

Making 3d bugs

A couple of weeks ago room 15 made some 3d reading bugs. We could either choose a caterpillar, a spider, a lady bug and an ant first we had to choose which bug we wanted. Then we had to go over it with the colour we wanted it to be  then we had to let it dry after we had done that we had to make sure that  you couldn't see any bits of the egg carton, if there were none then we could start putting patterns on them. Also after we had done patterns on them we could get some pipe cleaners and start to make legs and antennas . After we had gotten them the way we wanted them we had to glue the legs on with a hot glue gun and Mrs Larsen stabbed holes in for the antennas and also glued crazy eyes  for its eyes.

Another thing we did was choose a character out of our favorite book and create him out of a toilet roll. We also went to Rutherford Junior High School , at Ruderthod we played p.e and also went into the music and played on the keyboards and the guitars.

PMI About Rules/Laws

PLUS:
They keep every living thing safe because people have to follow these laws and if they don't follow them they get punished.
All of the rules are obeyed by the community

MINUS:
I think some of the rule are unfair and are just stupid.
I think some of the laws are just pointless.

INTERESTING:
Not all of the laws and rules are obeyed by the community
The community thinks some of them are pointless.
People protest about it.

Rules and Laws - What's the difference?

A rule is...something that a group of people have to follow and is not enforced  by police or government but maybe by a  group of people. Rules are just something that you have to stick to but cannot get prosecuted by not doing so.

A law is... a legal title that you must obey. Laws are enforced by the police and government. 

If drunk driving was never a law millions of people around the world would die. The world would be to dangerous to live in.
