Success from Failure

By -
 I could feel the adrenaline pumping. I was prepared for anything. It was when I started the race that I knew there was something wrong, but thinking about all the training put into this and I knew that I had to continue. I was leading. I could see the finish line, then I fell badly. I felt like I had to give up. Especially hearing the commentator saying things like "Emma Andricks has fallen and Julianna Marie has taken the lead!" Then something made me get back up and finish. I didn't win, but at least I finished the race.

Annie and Sydney were inseparable. Together, they could do anything. They met when they were 5 and ever since then, they did everything together. That was until Sydney moved. At first Annie called her regularly, but soon they started drifting apart. Everything fell apart when the connection broke. The problem was that they were both too busy to call each other. One day Annie found the time to go shopping and there she was! Sydney was right there in front of her. They both couldn't believe their eyes, but they were overjoyed.

Shape Shift

This term we started a superhero/villain stop-motion project. I am working with Sabrina for this project. We had to create a character, get props, paint our sets and now we're busy filming. It has been an enjoyable project so far but it has it's challenges. One of them has been time management, especially with the other characters I had to make at home and now we only have three lessons to film. If I were to change something about this project, I would remove the A4 drawing or not make it for marks because we had to do it while we we were still making our characters and then we had to worry about both things at once and making the character was more important. The highlight of the project so far was painting the set because it turned out the way we wanted from when we started. Overall, the project has been a great experience and I look forward to seeing the end product.

Instant Messaging Guidelines

In IT, we've been working on posters about instant messaging for the Grade fours as they have just started using iPads this year and are starting to experiment with Messages which has started a few situations as they don't really know how it works. Our posters provided information on instant messaging and how to use it correctly. Today the Pheasants came to the IT room with us for us to show them our posters and teach them about smart messaging. These posters taught them about tone, facial expression and how texting could go wrong. They learned a lot about messaging through these posters and hopefully we helped them be more clear with their messaging. Created using Google Drawings.
