Word Vomit

Once there was a 30 year old man that was in the army because he wanted to serve his country and make his family proud!. During a mission to Africa he saw this monkey that was all alone in the jungle so he saw it and took it back to where his military base was.

Metal project

Today 4/5/2018
I have made a dog tag that says my name on and more things on top of it, it is also made out of Aluminium. And that is what makes me unique because it has what I want on it, I enjoyed this process because you got to make a dog tag with what you want on it, It was fun because we used a lot of different tools to make these
I hope to make more thing in metal because it is fun.
I did kinda messed up when i was putting my initials because i have more than one K on it because i couldn't get the right place for it after i hammered it with the hammer to stamp the name on it.

Tools used to make this:
Buffing machine
Hand saw
Square
Stamping letters
Polishing machine
And much more but i forgot the name for.

We started this in Term 1 Week 5, Around that time. We start it off with a long Aluminium strip that we cut up into 20 by 40 cm. We cut this with a Hand saw with was a little bit hard because you had to keep your arm straight and that was hard if you're hand shakes. Then you we drill a hole in the Aluminium tag. After we do that we round off the corners so it's round and we don't cut our self and then we stamp whatever we want on it but their is somethings we can not put on and rude things. Once we stamp the things that we want on it, we can buff it then polish so it's nice and shiny. When you have made it shiny you can take it home.

Big performance

On Wednesday the 11th of April we had a performance with year 8-9's performances

What have i learnt? I have learnt how to be in time with other people, and how to practice the words and the choreography because sometimes i have trouble to learn things.

How does this show my learning? It shows how i have learnt all the dance moves and all the words, and showing how to work with other people while dancing

What did i find challenging? Keeping in time with the other people, and learning the choreography with a small amount of time to learn it

What would i do differently next time i do this next time? I would do nothing different, because it is good how it is because the choreography suits the music

What did i enjoy? I enjoyed all of it because i enjoyed all of the dance moves and the words because we choose a good song to perform.

What am i wondering? I am wondering how they got the song done and how the words were made from the song

What was it like performing on the day? On the day it was fun performing because i was with friends and people that i don't work with at all

Word Vomit

Word vomit is about how much words we can make out of 5 words
This weeks 5 words are

  • Toaster
  • Motorcycle
  • Spider
  • Fallen Tree
  • Red Pen
I was riding down a lonely street with my Motorcycle and my pet Spider. We went past a Broken Tree in the middle of a park because of the storm a few ago and it was marked with a big X on it because it was one of the ones that needed to be taken out anyways but the storm did it for them. I then went home to use my new Toaster that i had brought a few hours ago but didn’t use it because it had ot go out to get something else because i forgot to get the other thing that i needed. I let my pet spider roam around his habitat with his new Red Pen that i had brought him and i also got him a new house that can go in his habitat. My spider managed to climb his habitat and got out so he roamed around the house waiting till i get up at 5:30 am in the morning.
