Motat

As I walked through the door I saw Richard Pearse's 1st plane. It looked like junk because it had wires everywhere. I had a good look at it and he had used bicycle wheels but I thought that the plane didn't suit the bicycle wheels. It was really rusty and old. The wings were made of wood and they looked like monkey bars.
Pt England school were on a school trip at Motat on Thursday the 12th of June 2008 because we were studying Up UP and Away and it was the seniors turn to go to there. The reason why we went there was because we wanted to find out more about planes and Richard Pearse and Jean Batten.

Helicopter

The first things I heard and saw were a chukka chukka sound from the distance and a little black speck up in the sky.
When the helicopter landed in our school grounds it felt like a big tornado.The rotor was making it windier.It was like the wind was howling.I was feeling a bit cold.The helicopter made so much wind that our clothes were blowing around.Then I realised that it was a helicopter.
When the helicopter landed one of the pilots came out and spoke to us.He gave us a bit of information about the parts on the helicopter.It was a police helicopter.Under the helicopter was a little black shiny ball.It was a camera.At night when they turn it on they can see people white but the ground is black.Another thing they had was a night sun.They didn't have it with them though.The night sun was a big torch.It was as bright as 30 million candles.They also had two engines.They use them in case they break down.Then they can swap engines and fly down to ground.
When the helicopter was going it made a loud sound.It started of like a squeaking noise then a chukka chukka sound.It was so exciting.When they left the helicopter made heaps of wind.It was a bit like when they landed.I was freezing like ice.
It was so amazing when they left up in to the sky.

Power Hang Glider

"Tag" I touched Paris.We were playing tiggy on the field. Then I noticed a Power Hang Glider out on the reserve. I ran to see it.
When I got there the man was getting prepared. He clicked his helmet on then he pulled a rope and the rotor started. When he pulled a little rope he blew into a little tube as well. He held onto the sides of the Power Glider and started walking then he ran. Once he was in the air he put his feet into a harness.
In the air he was soaring across the sky. He did a couple of turns too. It looked like he was a big humungous eagle flying across the sky. His glider was orange and black.
He did some gliding then he flew across our school. He made a whosh sound. The propellor sounded like a motorbike engine and he looked like a big fly flying across the sky.
When he was going to land he was running in the sky until his feet touched the ground.It looked like he was going to hit the goal post.He flew down like a real bird.He swooped towards the ground.
That was so COOL to see a Power Hang Glider at our reserve.

Hot Air Balloon

Wow it was so AMAZING to see a Hot Air Balloon come to Pt England School.
First of all Daryl spread the balloon out on the field then he got the fan and faced it towards the balloon.He turned on the fan and the balloon got bigger and bigger.The fan sounded like cold air blowing hard into the balloon.The balloon was like a huge circle.
They needed 4 people to hold on to the balloon in case it might fly away while they filled it.The 4 people were Tinei,Daniel,Jordan,and Darius.Daniel thought it felt like he was playing tug a war with a builder.They looked like they were pulling hard.They were very strong.
Inside the air balloon it looked like a pink tent room.It was such a huge room.It looked like a huge castle and a jumping castle.
After Daryl hoped in the basket he was pulling a handle and the fire came out into the balloon from 2 burners.The balloon was going higher.The fire sounded like the ocean.It made a whoosh sound.It sounded like the waves were crashing .The burners were heating up the air in the balloon.
The Hot Air Balloon floats it doesn't fly.Daryl couldn't float high because it was windy and to dangerous.The rope was tied onto the truck.Mr Brown was leaning on the basket and that's why it didn't float up much.When the balloon was in the air it was blocking the sun and it was shady.The balloon kept on floating in the sky then coming back down.Daryl had to put the burners on lots.(Heaps of fire)The basket kept on floating too.When they pulled the balloon down Daryl pulled a red rope and the top of the balloon opened and let the hot air came out and came down to the ground.
It was so COOL how the Hot Air Balloon got blown up.

Future Goal

In the future I would like to be a singer.
This goal is good for me because I really like it and I want to be better at singing.I chose this goal because I really like it.The singer I like is Chris Brown.

Camp

A few weeks ago we had a wonderful Camp. It was for the Yr 5 and yr 6 people. We slept in tents out on the school field. The hall was our Dining area. Our activities were rock climbing, kayaking, tenpin bowling, orienteering, going to Swimerama, a bush walk and camp cooking.

When we did rock climbing I felt nervous because I haven't done rock climbing before. The first rock climbing I did was one that went straight up. Then the second one I did was to climb up the House. The House was a bit hard because you had to put your leg around the roof and that was a bit tricky. The third one I did was an easier one because it had closer rocks for me to stand on. It was an ocean one and a sun one. When I got used to the House one it was getting easier and easier. They were all easy for me but I only did three walls. When I was starting my fourth one we were going so I only got half way then I had to come back down.

When we went kayaking I felt nervous too. Mr Burt showed us how to kayak. I didn't know how to kayak but now I do. Mr Burt and Mr Palmer put us into groups. I was the second group to go kayaking. I had heaps of fun. We went around this red thing out at sea.It was far out.

Camp was cool and exciting for me.

Picnic

A few weeks ago we went for a FANTASTIC trip down to the Pt England Reserve.
All of Point England School walked down to Point England Reserve.We also had a picnic there too.Some teachers went down to the reserve on their cars.
We also played some COOL games.I played rugby,touch,helled and I played on the playground.We were suppose to have a picnic last year but it got cancelled off because of the rain.There was lots of games played.
We were allowed to have a swim if we wanted too.I didn't want a swim because i didn't feel like one.If you wanted to go for a swim you had to wait for you turn.Mr Burt Will call out your team number then you could go for a swim but if he didn't then you couldn't yet.Some of the adults had to be in a U in the water.They were in a U because they can protect the children in case they drown.Mr Burt did a handstand in the water.He did it for long.He could stay under the water for long.
There were singing too.Heaps of songs were played.Heaps of people were lining up to sing.They played one of my favourite songs.It was called With You by Chris Brown.That is such a cool song.I didn't want to sing though.
I felt very Excited and Happy.
