Friday - to do list

Today you have a few things to work on. 

  1. Make the most of the time to get your speech sorted for Monday. If you have finished writing it get a buddy and practice it with them, time it, get feedback. If you want, get the key off Miss Hart for the drawer and record yourself so you can see what you need to work on.
  2. Reading - if you have finished your speech and it is perfect do another card or two.
  3. Maze - look down the page and see who can make the best maze - colour, picture, just a few things to think about. There will be a prize next week for the best maze.

Remember who you can and can't work with - Mr V-W knows who and will let me know on Monday - don't be the one to ruin it for everyone. I am sure you can all have a good day though, can't wait to see your speeches on Monday!

Don't run after dinner

Got a bit lazy this morning and decided to run when I got home from school. Not a good idea, by the time I played with the kids, spent time with the wife, bathed the kids, read story and got them to bed it was still only 7.30pm. Bad thing was though is I decided to eat dinner with the kids. Thought an hour rest after dinner before running would be ok, how wrong was I. Funny enough though, I ran the same time as I did the other day, go figure?

Got to try out my new nike band. Didn't even sync it and it said I ran 4.58km, 20m out from what mapmyrun.com told me I ran. Really good to see how long you have been running for, how fast you are running, how far you have ran and how many calories you have burnt. Think it will be good for my motivation and my competitive streak. 

Anyone got one of these? I need someone to set some challenges against?

 

 

Total Distance Covered so far = 12.7 km

Total Time Running = 1 hour 11 min

 

Runs Completed = 3

Create a maze

Using a software program to play games and have a little fun is a
great way to learn about its functions. Here we look at a way of
using word processing package Microsoft Word to create simple
mazes.

Please get your parents to go to this link and complete this survey. When they have done so can you please leave a comment on this post saying you have got them to do so. Thank you very much.

Speech Criteria

Look at the criteria when planning and writing your speech. We have gone
over it in class but it will be good for you to refer to throughout the
speech process.
