This morning at 9.40 me, Regan and Mr Riati went into the Cruize FM studio to record an ad for the Frankley school carnival. First, we went into the room with the mixing desk and listened to last year's ad. Then we came up with a script for the ad and Regan drew some pictures for his script. Next, we went into the 'vocal booth' and got our headphones on and rehearsed. After a few tries, we recorded it perfectly and so we went back into the other room and listented to our ad and then we went back to school.

The ad is on four times a day so tune into cruize FM now!!!!!

My exciting weekend!

On Saturday the 27 of October my family and I went down to Opanake for dads get together work thing where everyone that goes to dads work has fun at this mans farm, we played this game where you have to pretend there are birds flying in the sky. Theres this machine and it throws disks into the air and you have to SHOOT them with a gun and you have a partner to try and beat, and see how much disks you can smash. And how many you smash is how many points you get for your team.

(by the way I am talking REAL guns!)

And I had a little go with my sister but me and Gillian shot the disks,[ well tried to shoot the disks] with PAINT BALL GUNS!
That was fun.

But Gillian got to shoot against another dude with a GUN!
Then after we had finished with the shooting game we were packing up and the man that helped me and Gillian with the guns to get them ready for us and the paint ball guns (that I used) the man asked me if I wanted a go with a real gun :)

And I said yes.
So he said to everyone to step back. Then I had a go and hurt my shoulder (like mum when she had a turn)

So that wasn't good :(  but it was still fun.

Then we moved onto archery and Daddy got 8 points for his team and mummy got 13 for her team and Gillian got 5 points for her team and I got 7 points (and I didn't really belong to a team though because I didn't have lots of goes at everything because I was scared so I wasn't in a real team and I was also just having a go at everthing.

Overall we had a FANTASTIC time! :)

The Blue Duck -voicethread experiment

Scream!!! 

Adrenalin rushed through my bones as I felt myself zoom upwards. Why was I doing this?

I suddenly felt an abrupt STOP. It was time. My instructor made sure all my gear was fastened properly.

I watched as fate opened up before me. I was ready. Well at least I hoped I was. I closed my eyes and jumped.

When I opened my eyes, I saw the world around me rushing downwards as if fate was trying to run away from its owner. As I screamed, I wondered if I was dreaming. I felt amazing. So amazing that I almost forgot to pull my parachute down, this was essential.

When I landed, everyone was cheering. I had achieved what I thought I could never achieve.

Although it didn't last very long, this had been the most amazing experience in my entire life; and I’ll never forget it.

By Katy!!!

 What a great movie _ The Lorax

Think about these wise words from our movie

A tree falls the way it leans.

Be careful the way you lean.

It's not about what it is, it's about what it can become.

Unless someone cares a whole lot nothing is going to get better - it's not!!
