strange history

Hi and welcome back to my blog.  This week we where working on biographies.  I was really exited about this topic because I got to do my biography on Queen Elizabeth I, and as you probably already know I love learning about Queen Elizabeth I and her family history, because I think they are exciting and interesting. At first, I mostly copied the information that was on my elevator pitch and my place mat.   Then when I ran out of  information, I started looking at different websites. This was and is a fun task, and I love learning more about her. But I can"t wait until it is finished so I can get onto the next task.

Greatness in history.

The rays of the sun were beating down on the concrete and the leaves on the trees were completely still due to no wind.  It was a beautiful day but I was stuck in a class room learning about "Greatness".

Our first task was to choose four people from a greatness list that the teachers made for us. I chose the only four people I knew on the list.  At first I was not excited about this task, and thought it was boring, but the more I did the more I wanted to learn about these people.  In the end I had changed my mind about the greatness task being boring and could not wait to get started on the next task.

Here is my placemat.


 Which one of these four people do you think is the greatest?








A big SPLASH!

Hi, on Friday we went to swimming sports.  I was excited as I was racing against my friends in 2 races.  When we got to the pool there was a lot of noise, excitement and nerves.  I mostly felt nervous.  The first races were the freestyle races and I was in the 25m freestyle.  When I got into the pool for my race I had butterflies doing summersoults in my tummy.  As soon as I heard the whistle go I was off, powering myself through the water.  Once my hand touched the wall at the end I looked up and was excited to see I had come third.  When I got out of the pool my friend Hannah was there with my towel and my friends and I all celebrated our successes.  The second race I was in was the 25m backstroke.  I came second in this and was really proud of myself.

When my friend Hannahs race was on my friends and I screamed as loudly as we could and were soooooo excited when she won her freestyle race.

The bus trip back was noisy and we were pleased it was all over.
