Passion Time and Bullseye

Today is the last day of the term!!!! We worked on our passion time. I do writing for mine. I am writing a story about two super heros who have powers which is ice and fire. Today I reached my 4th page and 1,156 words. It was really fun and I hope we do it a a lot next term as well.

We also played a Wilson Game called bullseye and it was my first time doing it. You have 4 hoops and 4 beanbags and you have to throw the beanbag into the hoop. The first hoop is worth three points, the second is six, the third is nine and the fourth is twelve. So it's counting in three times tables. There are two versions the second one is  where you have to do them in order. So the first the second and so on and the first team who gets all four in wins. It was a really fun last day of term.

Chess

Today I versed Tara at chess. First we played the small version I was black and Tara was white. Then in the middle of the game we went to the big version. Again I was black. Tara totally bet me!  It was a bit hard to see where to go because it was so big!

We also did a Wilson game which was Piccadilly Circus again. We were trying to beat 58 seconds from yesterday's group, our first attempt was 1:11min so we tried again and it was 1:11 again and the third attempt, yep you guessed it, 1:11. Then we tried a final time and we got...  38 seconds!!! What a great 4th attempt! And later on this afternoon Katie said we might try it with 4 balls.

Air Pollution

Today we watched a important video about air pollution. It showed the top 10 most polluted cities in the world and had some effecting music to go with it. Number 1 was Ahvaz in Iran. They showed you some photos to go with it and you couldn't even see buildings in the back. The air was yellow and when people drive around they have to have their car lights on in day time!! The problem is that people are putting factories in poorer countries and cities. Then they just leave them and don't look after them and then the smoke makes air pollution. Then we visited a website that said the cleanest city's in the world and Wellington New Zealand was number 1!!! Go the Kiwis!!!!!!

Our First Possum

Today we went back to Seaward Bush to investigate our possum traps and pull out the wax tabs. We also checked our ferret and stoat trap. But our trap didn't have anything in it. We walked on to get some more wax tabs then came across a possum trap but it didn't have anything in it either. Our second one wasn't a hit either but our third one had a big furry possum! We had caught our first possum! Our other possum traps had nothing in them which was disappointing but we had fun anyway. Next week we'll check our possum traps again and hopefully we'll get a few more possums.
