Kayaks By Royden Giles

BY  ROYDEN GILES

Why do kayaks wobble?

There are lots of reasons why kayaks wobble.  

Getting In

Kayaks have a round bottom which makes them unstable.

Always stand in the middle when you get in.

Sitting

Sit up tall and put your feet evenly in the kayak.  If your feet are uneven, you could wobble in.

On The Water

Try not to lean over side to side.

If you wobble, put the oar out like an arm.

In the waves

If a wave comes, lean towards the wave.  

Use your abs to help stop you wobbling.

Kayaks wobble because

1. Round bottom
2. Feet uneven
3. Lean to one side
4. Waves
5. If you don’t use your abs

We can use co-ordinates to find things on a map and play battle ships.

Easter Weekend

Easter Weekend

School finished for the week on Thursday at 2.45pm. We had five days off and returned to school on Wednesday morning. 

The Easter Bunny

 did an Easter hunt at my house.

Each note had a clue, which told us where to find an Easter egg.

With every clue there was an egg with it.

The hunt finished in my toy room.

The last note said "HAPPY EASTER".
Easter Bunny hid the eggs very well in the night.
I enjoyed it and with Mum's help, together we found them all, one by one.  The Easter hunt was fun.  Next Easter I want a hunt again. I had some o my eggs after Easter.
After the Easter hunt the weekend continued and I rang Autumn

but she was busy as she had an Easter hunt too, so we couldn't get together at all because she was busy busy busy Easter egg hunting for the Easter Bunny's eggs. I got the wrong phone number on the second day that I rang her so I went to Melissa's house. I got upset because Sophie would not share her tractor, I felt some tears coming so I went home upset and cried and cried and cried. The dogs were barking when I got Home. I drank some coke and then The Chase was on.  
The day after that, everything was back to normal.  I saw Melissa at my house again.  She was upset with me the way I behaved in her house, but I said to her very sadly and angrily that I just wanted to be alone.  "Now go away I never want to see you again!" I said.  Melissa was upset. Then I played my chase game and that made me a lot better. The chaser was The Beast.   

Cooking at Tech

Cooking

On Wednesdays it is tech day and I cook food and sometimes we bring the food back to school.

This picture is me eating rice. I loved it, even though I didn’t finish it, because of the taste.

.

When you cook you need to wear an apron.  After we’ve eaten, we tidy up and do the dishes.

At tech I have learnt that cooking can get a bit messy so you wear an apron.  When you cook food on the stove you need to make sure that you don’t burn yourself because the stove is HOT!

Not everything is cooked on a stove, sometimes it’s cooked in the oven and the microwave.  

Sometimes we measure ingredients, because some ingredients are very heavy.

We always wash our hands before we cook and after we cook.

I enjoy cooking very much, but sometimes it’s hard to stand up for a long time.

Family fiesta

 Family fiesta

Grey Main School had a family fiesta on Friday night and I was given a white balloon that  mum tied to my new well chair.
Mum and i saw drawings of mums and dads done by the kids.         
I got 2 sausages with bread and tomato sauce. 
In  the hall we bought chocolate fudge and it was delicious.
We saw Jen and we talked and talked.

Spooky Night

It was a dark and spooky night and I was taking a nightly stroll.   I saw a sign on a post near the spooky house and it said ‘BEWARE’.  I thought to myself ‘Should I go in or should I not?’  But I decided to myself ‘What kind of danger did that sign mean?’

I heard a sound in the bushes.  It was a MONSTER!!  I ran into the slimy, disgusting house.  I was feeling frightened, so I locked the door, so he couldn’t get in, but yes he could because the window was open.

I jumped and ran and hid in the bucket by the fire.   

Then I heard a knock, knock, knock.  It was the witch knocking on the door.  “O Oh, I’m in trouble now,” I thought.    The witch opened the door and the door went SQUEEEEEK.  It was a blue door. I felt very very scared I almost cried.  

Then the witch said “Who’s in my house? When I catch them I will put them in my dinner.”

I heard what she said.  “I better save myself” I thought.  

I climbed out of my bucket and ran and ran.  And the monster picked me up and showed me to the witch.  The witch said “Ah huh, a boy.  A dinner indeed.” She ran and ran to the stove and used her magic to turn the stove on.   I shook with fear.  I said “Don’t do this Mrs Witch,” but she said.  “Ha ha ha ha, you can’t stop me, this is a magic house.  It only does what I want it to do,”

So I thought of a clever plan.  Lucky there was some old monster clothes on the table in the corner near the fire.  

Just then, she dropped her magic wand.  She jumped and I used the magic wand to put the clothes on.  

The witch saw me and she thought I was the monster.  “Please can you do my gardening overnight and I want it all done by morning.”

“Ok”I said  But instead of doing the gardening, this was my moment to get away. I used the magic wand to do a flying spell and I flew home. I felt relaxed. And I said “Phew, no more trouble”

I learnt a personal lesson,  never go towards danger, because you never know what danger you might fall into..
