As the Delorean took off Jennifer was so worried,she said “ Are you guys CRAZY? I'm scared and want to go home”. Marty listened to Jennifer and hugged her tight. “ Doc said, “None of my inventions have ever failed before, trust me”. “ Hold on tight “ Doc said as he pushed yet another button to land the time machine safely into the future.

Swimming

Free time was my favourite part of swimming because we got to play with everyone. I think my swimming is much better than last year.


The BFG


Sophie and the BFG stood in the BFG’s big cave. Lights and patterns covered the wall. “Would you like some Frobscottle?” asked the BFG, as he walked over to one corner of the cave. Sophie was worried, she didn’t want to try some but she was thirsty “Yes maybe a little bit” Sophie exclaimed.

The BFG put the Frobscottle on the table were Sophie was standing and said “This is the most scrumdidliumptious drink ever”. He was worried that maybe she wouldn't try it. Looking at the BFG, Sophie said “why do the bubbles go down, not up” Before he answered she cautiously took a little sip of the Frobscottle.

I AM MAKING MOVIES 2!!!

On Sunday night half of room 13 went to the museum because we had entered a movie competition. Finally we got on the bus. “We’re here” I said. We walked to the elevator and waited in line, finally we got on and walked to the dome.

I sat down on a chair and watched some of the movies that appeared on the screen. I waited and waited for ours to show but unfortunately it didn’t! I was SOOOOOOOO bored because some movies were too long.

“Yay our movies showing” I exclaimed, Charlie from What Now was there he called out the finalists movies. We watched the movies of the finalists and the winner was called out. “ Don't Forget Our Roots by Pt England School”.

“YAY” we all shouted as we run to the red carpet and ran down to the stage. Charlie high fived our hands. The speech finished, so everyone walked back to their seats and watched more movies.

Back To The Future


Wheels screeched as the mad scientist- Doc reversed out of the driveway. “Hey Doc, we better back up, we don’t have enough road to get to 88” Marty said worrying. Marty's girlfriend, Jennifer was in the Delorean, Jennifer was confused. “Roads. Where we’re going we don’t need roads” said Doc as he adjusted his glasses. BOOM!!! The Delorean sped off with a burst with fire.

Camera




In 1886 a man in France took the very first snapshot/photograph. He used a metal plate covered with bitumen.

12 Years later a man named Jacques Daguerre improved the idea of a camera by using a copper plate coated with silver, instead of a metal plate covered with bitumen. Jacques Daguerre made his camera’s lens work like a telescope.

In 1888 George Eastman made a small hand held camera, using celluloid film. In 1990 a box camera called “ the Brownie “ was invented by the Eastman Kodak Company. From 1920 -1940 better cameras were made with expensive lens in Germany. Now most cameras are made in Japan.

Pt England Resort

The Pt England Resort is the best place I’ve ever been!!!! In my apartment there was a water bed facing a flat screen TV. Also there’s was a deck that had a great view, you could see the BEAUTIFUL water. Most mornings you get breakfast in bed as well.


Activates like snorkeling , surfing, kayaking and swimming are amazing because the sea is warm and clear. Best of all was snorkeling because I saw beautiful fish. Angel fish, Goldfish and Starfish filled the sea, my favourite was the dolphin because I got to ride on them. The resort was AMAZING !!!!! I didn't want to go home.

Egg Drop



20 minutes you've got to be joking, that was a very short time. How is this going to work ? We all got our supplies and set of to work.


Cut cut , chatter chatter, tape tape. Everyone worked to the last second.

20 Minutes was over. As I dropped the egg I knew this wouldn't work. SPLAT !!! My prediction came true.
