100 Word Challenge

Today we did the 100 word challenge. There was no image but it was about a giant a magical bubble that floats.

I was walking down the street early in the morning when I found a HUGE bubble. I went to go pop it when I fell over into the bubble and couldn’t get out. I tried for hours and hours but I couldn’t get out. So I went for a walk in the bubble. I was walking for a while then the bubble started floating. I couldn’t control it and it started floating towards the ocean. I tried running the other way but it wouldn’t stop. Then it popped and I fell into the ocean and swum back to the shore.

100 Word Challenge

 This week we did the 100 word challenge. The picture was about a teachers car had footsteps on it. Here is my story:

I think it was a ghost scaring people. They were scaring people and got shoes thrown at them. So the ghost  put on the shoes. It was walking over everything then it got spotted by some people but you could only see their shoes. Then the people started chasing the ghost. The ghost started running all over peoples cars and stuff. Then the ghost got seen by more people. Then it got hit by a car and got the shoes taken off it. Then it disappeared then 10 seconds later there was an explosion and the ghost disappeared.

Sphero Project

For the past few weeks we have been working on a projects using the sphero's. My groups project was two sphero's jousting. They had a box thing on them with a target and a joust. The sphero's were meant to go head on  and one of them would hit the other target. Originally we used cardboard but then we changed to acrylic and cut it with the laser cutter. 

We didn't end up getting it built but if we had more time I think it would have ended up pretty good.  The problem with the prototype is kept dragging on the ground. We tried making skids but I didn't work and we didn't now what to make them out of. Another prototype we had was a wooden one. This one had a window though. It wouldn't move because the window was too big and it had nothing to push against. If it had no window I think it would have worked out quite well

Here is the prototype

I really liked building this but I wish I could have actually finished it. I like using the sphero and I really liked the laser cutter. I learned how to use the laser cutter and how to use the hot glue gun.

Heroes and Villains Timeline

This week we started learning about different leaders and whether they were heroes or villains. I chose to learn about Adolf Hitler and we made a timeline. Here is mine.

200 Word Challenge

 Today we were working on the 200 word challenge. Its about a whale chasing a person.

The person was on a boat fishing. He caught something but couldn’t pull. it out of the water. He tried and tried and tried but just couldn’t pull it up. So he dropped the anchor of the boat and put his scuba gear on and grabbed his torch. He jumped in and started following the anchor chain down when he got to the bottom he turned on his torch. There were heaps of fish and moving objects. Then he saw a big moving object coming at him. He started climbing the chain as fast as he could. The object was getting closer and closer. He made it to his boat and tried to start his boat but it wouldn’t. BANG! Some hit his boat. He quickly switched his oxygen tank and grabbed a spear gun and shot the thing. Then he noticed it was a whale shark. BANG! His boat started sinking. He didn’t know what to do. Then he realised he had an inflatable life raft. He threw it out then the whale ate it. He jumped into the water and the whale started chasing him. Then it ate him. He was never seen again.
