This terms inquiry has been on the great Murray River, which is slowly disappearing.

Its dissappearing because of use of murray and climate change. We went on a camp to Hindmarsh Island for our inquiry task and learnt about the River murray and the Narrindjerri people.The Murray River starts at the Snowy Mountains and stretches over 3 states. It is the 16th largest river at 2,530 kilometers. It effects Farmers, shop owners in Goolwa and escpecilly the Narindjerri people. I think a possible solution is to slowly end our Murray crisis is to charge more for water use.

In our class we are having interviews.But this time where hosting the interviews, we have to make a short presentation of how we have been going in class.Last Friday we had got are semester 1 report cards which parents can discuss anything they are unsure of or any questions about are reports.On the slide show that we are going to present it has to go for approximately 3 minutes with tasks, goals and class activities you have enjoyed so far.My interview is on a Wednesday, I am very nervous about it.

Leadership quote- “Good leaders must first become servants”.

I think this quote, “Good leaders must first become servants”, means that you first have to help people before they will respect  you as a leader. As you get to the top and become a great leader you would always be thinking of ways to help the people. You have to have the qualities of a leader,  like responsibility, confidence and persistence.

For example you could do things like give food to someone who has no food, or help them up when they fall!

People will follow a leader if they are true to their word and show that they are dependable.

On the 2nd of April 2009 we had sports day,

Me and NoNo were the two sports day captains for orange with dani16 and sin as the vice captains. My favourite events in sports day were, discus and tug-o-war I really liked discus because I am good at it an enjoy it, I really loved tug-o-war because we beat every team in it, even the teachers and adults it was really fun and enjoyable. Just after we did tug-o-war we did a tabloid race in that race I thought i went pretty good even though my foot was killing me i came 3rd out of 5th. After that race there was a 400m race I really wanted to go in that race but I went to put some ice on my foot. At the end of sports day M.r G which is our P.E teacher announced the winners, Yellow team had come last, Then Orange, Green and the winners were red. All the captains and vice captains had to prepare a victory speech but only the winning team would say there speech, The whole red team had looked so happy especially the captains and vice because it was there last year in primary school. I thought all the teams had tried there hardest. I cant wait till the next sports day in high school. I thought that was the best sports day because I was a captain!

In this book it teaches you about soccer as we call it in Australia and tactics that professoinals did when they were training, such as Kewell, Beckham, Viduka, Ronaldinho and Mia Hamm. It also tells you how to do great tricks such as the bycycle kick the rainbow and how to do a volly. This book will show you everything you will need to know to be a soccer super-star. I really like this book because I love soccer and it even has a few pictures in the book for people who like a few pictures. I also like this book because it shows Australia’s world cup history of soccer. For those how like soccer I this would recommend this for you, Im sure you will agree that this is a fantastic book!

On the 12th of march we had the Police Band come to our school. There were six people in the band. They played lots of songs like the friends theme song  and the Simpson’s, mission impossible and lots more. They also talked about how the instruments work and what family they are related to. The show went for about an hour but it was worth it, It was a very entertaining show.I thought how they invloved us into the show was really great, It would be great to hear them again.

Hello everybody, I am here to discuss about having ipods in our classroom. So let’s stop living in the past because ipods are the latest and greatest thing. ipods are great because you can’t hear any distractions in the classroom, only the music. They also keep you focussed on your work. For example, music makes me relaxed. The negative points are that it can be a distraction for others. For example, some people might always be changing the song all the time, or singing out loud. What about the people who don’t have a ipod? People might even steal it.

We also read an article in our classroom about ipods. The principal at Menomonee Falls, William Hintz said he believes students can tune out distractions with ipods in the class. He also said that it is better if the volume is low. Another person said there will be a day when ipods will be our modern text books but we are not there yet. In conclusion, I believe that ipods are great for our class.
