This term my class learnt how to use the website PowToon and then we had to make a PowToon individually. It was a book report based on our serial story called "Twist of Gold".
A PowToon is an animated slideshow that you create and set up the timing of the slides. It has props, cool music and nice backgrounds. When you push play the slides come up as a short movie.
I really enjoyed the book and I loved making the PowToon. I hope you enjoy my PowToon.

Rad Rhythm
On Monday 29th October Jonny from Rad Rhythm in Wellington came to Hoon Hay School. He came to our school because last year Hoon Hay won a competition for him to come and visit us.
We all had to go to the hall and sit quietly. Jonny talked to us about how he started playing music. He also talked to us about a teacher who gave him a pair of drumsticks and it changed his life. We then did some competitions like dancing to different genres on the drums and tricks with drumsticks. It was a lot of fun.
He said always dream big, work hard and always help others.
We then had our own time with Jonny in room 9, we got put into groups and we had to make our own Rad Rhythm piece.
Each group got a different piece of equipment to use. Our group were given shoes!
We sounded ok, but not as good as the groups that came first with cups and bamboo sticks. We had a great time.

Athletics
This term we did athletics the first and the second week back at school. We did some training in term three for this.
There were six sports that we trained for: they were long distance, sprints, high jump and long jump. The year fives did not have to do shot put and discus because Sport Canterbury changed the rules.
My favourite one would be long distance because that's what I'm good at and I always get a placing in the top three.
On Thursday in week one the year fives did high jump and long jump. The girls did high jump first and the boys did long jump first. On Tuesday morning we had sprints, long distance and relays.
It was starting to get really hot when long distance was on.
I started out in third but then I got in front of the second placed girl on the first lap and then I over took the first place girl on the second lap and came in first place.
We then did sprints I placed fourth in fifty metres and third in eighty metre heats. I was also in the relay team for Cracroft, we got third.
At the prize giving I got a first place ribbon I was very happy.
