This is my obstacle course for pet day and why it should be used for pet day.

I strongly believe that my design should be used because it is simple but challenging for the dogs in many ways, such as, the balancing form and the run down the side of the course.

The obstacle course is definitely great for any size canine, it also has unique features two sets of weaving poles. I really like how the start and the finish are in different spots than usual, other years the start is at the goalline but this year I would love the starting mark to be somewhere else.

My obstacle course tests the dog’s agility, speed and confidence while they complete the course.

I really do like my design and I think the dogs will too, hopefully you like it and choose it for the day.

The Big Day

I peak out of the truck finally seeing sunlight again, I heard an odd sound in the distance. As I was walking down the hill the sound was getting louder and louder until I saw a figure it was my owner.

I suddenly got crowded  as i got lead down the hill to a big fence, I got tied up to the fence as kids crowded me I felt so popular.

About one hour later I got taken off the fence and lead to a weird corse a lady said ready set go Harper ran in front of me as he was pulling me along I was jumping, weaving, ducking, balancing, sprinting I had so much fun until i got tied up again and left for what felt like hours.

I watch as I pass all of the lambs, goats and dog eyeing up which one I’m going to sit beside the a kid take me over to a empty spot and ties me up I was all alone.

A big furry dog comes over I eye him up and see if he’s friendly he was but wasn’t very fun so of to the next place we went.

Next we were beside a big scary dog called Rocky and he looked nice.

I take one look to the right and I smell a nice lamb suddenly the kid shoves some food in my mouth It tastes disgusting.

I hear people saying that I’m so small and cute. I think what would that lamb taste like. I feel the cold breeze blowing in my face. I see the people stare at me like I stare at the lamb.

I see a person saying fight I bark at him and rocky takes it the wrong way and barks at me I back off and stare at the lamb again.

Physical Phenomena

Well, what a busy term we had in the Senior Class!
Our inquiry topic was called 'Physical Phenomena' and it was certainly an engaging, hands-on topic to spark our learners into greatness!
We began by looking at forces and energy, how they work in the real world, we then moved on to electricity, playing with our new kits to work out how a circuit works and how to add extra things like buzzers and switches. We learnt how to draw symbols for circuits, played with torches, and investigated light using light boxes. Finally we moved onto our own personal Science inquiry based around the Physical World, we had a template to follow which showed us the important parts to include in our project such as Hypothesis, Method, Research, Results, Conclusion and how it connects to the real world.
We held our school Science Expo in the last week of school, it was a huge success allowing the students to share their new learning with peers, whanau and community members.
