Just dance, Table Tennis & Juggling

In PE we have been doing some Table Tennis and Juggling but last week our teacher Mr Hilliard said we could do Just Dance if we wanted. A few others and I did Just Dance last week. Some of the dances we did were Rasputin, Vodovorot, Kill this Love, Whip Nae Nae, Juju on that Beat, Air Planes, We got the Power and Footloose. It was really fun getting to do Just Dance and I enjoyed it a lot. 

Before we did Just dance we did Table Tennis and Juggling. For juggling we had to juggle 2 with one hand then 3 with both hands. For Table Tennis we had to vs someone and get 10 across then we could do it with the wall.

I reckon I have really good self confidence when it comes to dance because I dance outside of school and I have a big passion for it. When it comes to some other sports I am normally not that good at it but I get better. 

    

Reading

Today in Hur6 which is power to the people, we have to share the book we read. The book I read is called Star Fell the author is Dominque Valente. Its about some people trying to steal different types of potions and they have powers like when they accidentally lose something they can easily find it. If they go outside somewhere and you leave something at home you can't easily find it because you know where it is. If you try to lose something its the same you cant purposely find it you have to accidentally lose it to find it again.

Today I continued reading Star Fell and it wasn't much but I started reading chapter 5. It was saying that Wolkana couldn't find her way to find the potions.

Willow and Moreg are trying to find there way back to Radditch, but they are trying to do it peacefully so they don't wake up the brothers and their presence. As they were getting closer Willow thought less about the brothers, and she wondered more about the people they she might meet along the way. She then realised that she is bound to meet the broom-makers. Willow Couldn't believe it, she was so excited to see brooms fly. During their excitement they realise they need to remember one important thing... 

June 15th 

As Willow watched she saw that there were hundreds of workstations with different Mementons all involved in various stages of broom construction. News of their arrival spread quickly within seconds a rather short mementon (at just below 9 feet) came forward to greet them.

June 17th

When Willow meet the mementons she thought that there eyes were strange. They were a deep dark blue that had white flecks in them. It looked like small chips of the night sky full of stars. Willow wondered if he saw things differently with eyes like that.

Brainstorm for textiles

In textiles we are working on some ideas to make something when we get back in the classroom.

These are Anneleise and I's ideas we could use and I'm thinking about either doing Pom Pom rug or  String pot holder. 

Beeswax wraps

In textiles we had to create a poster about beeswax wraps. we had to write instructions on how to make it and we had other questions to answer. 

Once we are back in the classroom we are going to make these beeswax wraps but we are using the Iron method. 

What i've been doing to keep fit

During lock down I have been trying to keep fit and do some exercises. I've been doing lots of dancing because I love to dance, I've also been doing Les Mills Born to Move that's on Tv channel 2 at 3pm every weekday. My brother has also been making me do 10 laps of the house and my mum gave my a quick workout to do. It was something like 10 laps of the backyard, 10 push ups, 10 sit ups and 10 star jumps. It was just something to do so I could keep up my fitness.

Where the black death fits in history

In Social Studies we started learning about the black death. The black death was a pandemic that happened in 1347. The black death was a disease and in 1347 it came to Europe and killed millions of people. In European history 500 - 1500 is called the middle ages. At this time it was ancient history of the Greeks and the Romans. 

We had to create a timeline of history and we had a book called Epidemics through time and it had different things that happened in the past. We had to have 14 topics in total so we could add things that are important to us and we had to add Covid - 19 into it.
This is my timeline.
