Reflection for cricket

Reflection for cricket.
This week is batting.

· Something I was pleased with was… Keeping my eye on the ball because… this is very important if you want to hit the ball.

· I really enjoyed learning… To put your v in your hands in line with the spin because… this is how you hold the bat.

· Something I found hard was… Hitting the ball straight.

· Something that made me think was… Pointing my left big toe forward to aim.             because… it was hard holding the bat and pointing my toe also hitting the ball at the same time.

· Something I want to get better at is… Driving the ball better.

         (What can I do about it?) Practice with my sister.

100 word challenge

All I could see were two red eyes. I was so scared. I was very worried I don't know what this thing was. I was going to run away but my mind said no. I walked quietly to the thing. I was underneath the thing now. It was big as a T-Rex. Then I found out it was an evil T-Rex. This T-Rex was bad.  I didn't know what to do. I have always wanted to see a T-Rex but not this type. I was gasping for breath, not knowing what to. I woke up, it was only a dream.

Here is an Tagxedo about my story.

Fire work art

In room 20 we have done some art. It is fire work art. I like my art. I have used crayons and dye.  

Safe cycling presentation

At the moment we have been doing safe cycling. It is heaps of fun. I have done a presentation about safe cycling. Enjoy:)

I am art

For one of our options for Room 20's calendar art we get to paint the background in different colours. There are curvy lines along the page that you paint in. Then you put a poem about yourself that describes you in the curvy lines. Here is a recording of my saying my poem on Audioboo.

I am sporty, fun, twin, good friend, learner, determined, honest, mathematical, a good person, a pro star hockey player, love having fun, and that’s me Katrina Mairs.

Happy Birthday in Maori

listen to ‘Singing Happy birthday in Maori’ on Audioboo

Yesterday was Stefan's birthday and we sang Happy birthday to him. So Mr Moriarty came up with an idea for us to say happy birthday in a different language. So I chose to do it in Maori.

Mathletics day 4

Here is my Mathletics poster that I am going to enter the competition with. I am excited.  I think I did really well with  my Mathletics poster.  Here also is a fotobabble.

The temperature suddenly dropped

The temperature suddenly dropped. I was in Australia. It was boiling hot. So hot that the sun was burning my skin through my clothes. I could hear thunder and lightning in the distance. I was happy that the rain was coming but I didn't want to be flooded. The rain can flood in Australia in a couple of minutes. I could hear a waterfall nearby so I needed to head to higher ground. I saw a cliff and decided to climb it was getting darker and I needed to make a hut off the ground so the water doesn't get me wet.

 I get some wood that I could tie together with vines. It was getting darker by the second I was nervous. I hope I make my hut in time. But then the rain comes tipping down. I have made a bed of the ground and put some leaves on it but I don't want to get wet. I am going to have to make a fire and a little roof. I am running to get wood and cut it down . I am wet head to toe. I also am cold. I find some wood it is hard work cutting it down. I finally cut some wood of a tree. I make my roof as fast as I can. It is the same design as my bed but you put it on a Diagonal. By the time I make my fire the rain is stopped . I am freezing cold and are lying as close as I can to the fire. The sun is up and it is going to be another hot day in the sun.
