Tropical Island

I was sailing and stopped on a hot, sunny Island. I hopped out of the boat and started to walk around. I could see the hot golden sand in between my toes. Also i could see the reflecting moving water. I could hear the gentle water beating against the rocks. I felt the gritty sand flowing through my hands. I feed the seagulls they started to screech because they were fighting over food.

The Great Egg Drop

On Monday there was a Great Egg Drop. What we had to do was to make a device that will protect an egg from cracking on the ground below.

The egg was dropped from the playground.

For Deja’s device she used a plastic bag, string, bubble wrap, tape and a biscuit container. For her cushioning Deja used the bubble wrap to protect the egg from impact. Her plastic bag device was floating when she dropped it from a great height. Deja’s device saved the egg from cracking.

For Johnny’s device he used plastic plate, 2 plastic bag parachute’s. For his cushioning he used plastic wrapping and plastic bags. His device saved his egg from cracking. He dropped it from the Senior playground and the junior playground and his egg survived.

I think next time we do another Egg drop that I might join in and make a device that will protect my egg from cracking.   

Oakley Creek

On Tuesday morning room 20 & 16 went to the hall to talk about Oakley creek. The council people came to talk about Oakley Creek because the Oakley Creek is flooding. The council are going to redesign it so it doesn't flood again. They are going to build a playground for Oakley Creek for the children to play on.   

My first idea for the Oakley creek playground is water stepping stones. So what it is that when you want to go to the other side of the Creek you can step across it. If you are bored you can just put your feet in the water and enjoy the cold water when it’s summer.

Also I want at the park is a flying fox that can go over the creek. It will have a double sided seat and 3 tyres at the end of the flying fox. So when you hit the end it will swing you up in the air for like 4or 5 seconds then you will come back slowly back to the start.

If you build my idea i think you should be the first to hear about my idea for Oakley Creek park. So any day after school or in your free time why don’t you head down to Oakley creek park.
