Going to the beach!

W.A.L.T write about something we did in the weekends.








On Saturday last week my mum, my baby brother, our dogs, and I went to doubtless bay. The waves weren't that big but it was still really nice! Doubtless was like a massive swimming pool! The tide was out so we had to walk really far so it could even be up to my waist. The highlight of the day swimming there was when I was swimming with my family, and our dogs were playing, my dog, TJ, (Shes only a few months old) came chasing after us in the water and she can barely swim, she'd only be able to survive for about 2 minutes if she tried, well since she came chasing after us, it were deep for her where we were in the water, so she couldn't touch the ground! So I had to go chase after her before she starts having trouble swimming. I was surprised I got TJ because I was laughing so hard cause she looked so silly and funny when she was "swimming". I then carried TJ into the deep water to rinse of a bit cause she was really sandy, I then carried her back to the shallow and tried to go back in the deep end but she just kept on following me so I had to stay in the shallow part and wait until my mum and my baby brother got out of the water. Once they got out, I went to go a short swim in the deep part, it was really warm and it was relaxing. I then got out cause my mum was calling my name. The end!

Diary of a Wimpy Kid, The Last Straw

W.A.L.T read a book and then write about it.

I am reading Diary of a Wimpy Kid, The Last Straw, by Jeff Kinney.
Its about a kid called Greg Heffley. He lives with his mum and dad,and his 2 brothers, Rodrick and Manny. Greg is talking about his family's New Year Resolutions. The school then becomes "rezoned" to the Whirley Street neighbour hood, so Greg and his best friend, Rowley have to walk to and from school. Greg also has to deal being compared to his fathers Frank's boss's sons, who play sports and always be outside exercising. That's all I've read and I'm excited to read more!

Have you ever read the book I'm reading?

My school goals!

W.A.L.T write goals for ourselves and trying to reach those goals before 2021.

What goals do you have for this year?

Millie Bobby Brown

W.A.L.T finding a person who we look up to, and we write facts about them.
I look up to Millie Bobby Brown. She is a British actor, but she then moved to America with her 2 older siblings, her parents and younger sibling. She taught herself an American accent by watching Disney shows. She was originally born in Spain. Millie Bobby Brown starred in the Netflix series as Eleven in, Stranger Things. Did you know that Millie shaved her head for the role Eleven? Millie Bobby Brown can actually rap. On one of Jimmy Fallon's videos, she summarised and rapped what happened in season 1 of Stranger Things. She is 16 years old, her birthday is 19 February 2004. She is a actress, model and a film producer. Now, she has her own make-up, skin care line called, Florence by Mills. She sells make-up that is made out of natural things, no chemicals.

Who do you look up to?

Water balloon challenge!

W.A.L.T learn new techniques when working together as a team.


What we did was that we have a team of 6-3 and we have form a circle and one person with have the balloons and then with our group and we gotta chuck the balloon to the person next to us and they have to try catch it. If the balloons pops, you're whole team is out. The last team standing is the winner!
What I enjoyed the most was how challenging it was cause you could throw the balloon to far or not far enough.
What I found challenging was that you have to be very careful and gentle with throwing it and catching it, and seeing the balloon go around your group and worrying that the balloon might pop.
Our team ended up winning and one of our team members, Desiree, got all wet cause the balloon popped when she caught it.


Would you like to play this challenge? Would you do good at this if you played?

Team Building: Spaghetti and Marshmallow tower!

Spaghetti and Marshmallow tower!









W.A.L.T work together as a team and build a tower using Spaghetti and Marshmallows.






My team (Jess, Peyton, Frances, Desiree) and I, worked together to build a tower only using Spaghetti and Marshmallows. First we cut the Marshmallows in half and then we stick them to the Spaghetti sticks and make our way up. Our goal is to build the most stable and tallest tower, the team that builds the most stable and highest tower within the time limit, wins!


Our team ended up winning so hooray for us!


Would you work well together with people in your school? Have you ever built a tower like this?
