Moment In Time

 On our contracts this week we had to right a moment in time based of a video. A moment in time is when we write a little piece of writing based on a picture or video. You can write from a persons point of view, you can do it on whats gonna happen next, you can write it however you'd like. The video that we were writing about was a person sky gliding. Here is my moment in time.

Scared but excited, i'm getting ready to jump. I take a deep breath and go for it. Whoosh, I glide down the mountain and all of my fear suddenly melts away. The wind shoots past my face as I start to speed up. woo hoo! I shouted as I couldn't hold back my excitement. I pull out my parashoot as I safely make it to the end and land.

What the brain does

 The brain is a very important part of the body. It is protected by the skull and is located in the head. The 3 main parts of the brain is the brain stem, the cerebrum and the cerebellum. 

The brain stem is vital to the body. It sends messages without you even realising that controls many different things. Such as making your heart beat, It helps you to breath and helps you to swallow food.

The cerebrum is another important part of the brain. It is also the largest part. It is responsible for letting you see, talk, hear, think, learn and read.

The cerebellum is found behind the top part of the brain stem. It is responsible for coordination, movement and balance.

The brain is a very incredible part of the body. Sending messages to help you move and do things. Helping you to think, learn, see, talk and helps you with coordination and balance.

Recount about my school cross country

Yesterday on Thursday out whole school jumped on to 2 different buses to head to our school cross country. It was held at the Cutler's farm.

I was super nervous that day. When we got there we all went to this area where we were going to be sitting. After that my teacher talked to the whole school about what was going to happen next. Then all the helpers that were going to be on the track, went to their places. 

Once we were all ready, we started. The year eight's went first. By this time I was getting even more nervous because it was getting closer and closer to my race. After the year eight's it was year year sevens then year six's, which is my year level.

We lined up and got shown us the track. we then stretched and the boy's went first. We waited a bit for them and then we lined up. Go! and we were off. The longer I was running the more tired I got. We were running 3 km. The track was mostly dry but there was this one spot where we got wet. I got closer and closer to the end and finished in first place, I was super happy.

After the race I had a drink of water and some food and cheered on the rest of the runners and the other races. My favourite part of cross country was hearing everyone cheer you on and finishing the race.
