This week, we have done our last tests (Finally!). We’ve done our Asttle maths and Asttle reading. I think we’ve done a few more… But I can’t really remember. OH, and our reading comp. For Asttle maths, I got a 3p, Asttle reading 4b and Reading comp I got a Stanine nine with one wrong! We haven’t gotten our Asttle writing results yet.

Swimming is just as bad, they rose the pool, and it was so deep, even at the shallow end! Luckily, after I couldn’t stand another day of it, they lowered it! Now I can touch the bottom at the deep end. (It’s too shallow now!). Yet I still can’t do a lap of freestyle.

In Tech, we are still doing Science. We burnt paper, that was really fun. It smelt like fireworks. Well, firework smoke, that is. Also, we made a periscope, it was cool. We spied on the people who were doing cooking. Ms Green said not too, but we did anyway. We have just been playing with mirrors and lasers mostly…

I still have not achieved my goal for this week.
My goal for this week
To swim a length of the pool breathstroke!
I can achieve this by practicing and praticing some more!
I will know I have achieved this when I can swim a length of the pool breathstroke non-stop.

This week, Room 3 have been doing even MORE tests. We’ve done another maths test (Basic facts and computation), a writing test as well. We had to write about the most dangerous thing we’ve ever done. Boy that was hard, because I’m not that type of person that is really daring and dares to break a leg.
I haven’t been doing swimming this week. I keep forgetting my togs! Well, actually, that’s not my reason, my reason is that they were still wet AND they were at my dad’s place. My dad also leaves at about five past seven in the morning so I never get the chance to ring him up and ask him to drop them off. But I can still tell you what we’ve been doing in swimming. Practicing.
In Tech, we have still been doing science. We have been talking about the reactions that some chemicals make when they are mixed together. Also, we have been learning about light and how it slows down and speeds up. (Slow doesn’t mean anything though, more than 200,000kph, now I will let you imagine how fast fast is). Ms Green also let us make chemical pop guns and try and hit her. Actually I think that was last week. I’m not sure. But on Tuesday when we went, we put Baking soda and vinegar in a test tube and had to hold the gas in with our thumbs, then another person lit a candle and we saw what the gas did to the flame. Nobodies candle and reaction actually worked (Probably because our thumbs were to small), so Ms Green showed us what happened. I bet you can guess. The flame blew out. At the end, we made sherbet!! Yummy, then I made a whole tub of it at home.
I did not achieve my goal for this week.
My goal for next week:
To swim a length or two of the pool.
I will know I have achieved this when I can swim one or two lengths of the pool, breathing properly, without tiring.
I can achieve this by practicing at school and/or at the event center in TA.
