Production!... dance rehearsals (Year 8 dance is so fast)

Hi guys this week I will be talking about the dances for the production. The first dance we learnt was the year 7 dance (it would have to be my favourite out of the two) The reason I like it more is because it has a very cool song, but the best thing about is that it is quite a slow dance compared to the year 8 dance.


The year 8 dance, there is one move that involves a few kicks that I seem to not be able to do my brain just does not let my legs do that move. the thing is it is such a quick dance that if you fail a move or are un able to do that move the song will just let you stuff up and go onto the next move.

The dance I like the best is the year 7 one because it is way slower and has a really cool song.
What do I need to do to make the dance go well, what I can do is try not to stuff it up and make it so if I stuff up cover it in some way.

So that's it for this week

Bye XD

Glasses (and other tech) helps athletes (their basically google glass)

Hi guys and I'm here to talk about some Stuff that's been happening in the world (well really just one thing). But anyway this tech helps the athletes perform way better than they do without them. Nike created special shoes for some of the athletes where the shoes had special spikes (or something like that), that helped them propel them further and faster on the track).








There's also these headphones called the Halo Sports headphones. The headphones have little metal probes on the top that shock the wearer and it gives the same effect as if you were drinking an energy drink. Supposedly these are really and make the athletes perform way better. I believe that these do not work but supposedly they do I don't really understand how but that's the same with all technology.

Solos Smart Eyewear by Kopin (these are the glasses) the glasses are made to protect the wearer from the sun (because they are sun glasses) but have a tiny screen that helps cyclists (the main wearers) see their stats like speed and distance, so they can tell if they need to put on more power or slow down so they can conserve energy.

So that's it for this week. I am amazed by how much tech there is in the world for everything.

Bye This is the Website (Click Me)

These are the really cool glasses (they almost look like Oakleys)

Riddle Thing (Might be cool I don't know)

Hi so this week we have to make a riddle So here goes:


I am a bird yet I cannot fly
I wear a tux day and night
Yet I fish in the water
I live at the top and bottom of the world










So that's my riddle for you it was the best I could do I'm not very good at writing/thinking of riddles so this is one of my better ones that I thought of In like 5 minutes so bye I guess until next time.

Mens single canoe slalom (is crazy)

Hi this week I will be talking about Mens single canoe slalom it's really cool because they make these man made rivers that have insane rapids and they race down them with crazy times. Having to go through and round these gates trying to go as fast as they can without hitting the poles because that will give them a 2 second penalty.

Did I learn anything about this sport? Not much apart from how cool it is and what the rules are, so to answer that question yes I did learn stuff :p   .

Who got on the podium I hear you asking?

well it was:

1.Denis Gargaud Chanut (French) got 1:34.17

2.Matej Beňuš (from Slovakia) got 1:35.02

3.Takuya Haneda (Japanese) got 1:37.44

That's it for this one I was going to do rowing but I found out it doesn't end till next week so... that's annoying because that was a good one.


Sorry that its kind of a short one but it is a very quick sport so... there really isn't too much to say about it.


bye!

Book Groups (are fun)

Hey guys I'm back and today I will be talking about my book group and what book I am reading.

The book I am reading is Tangerine by Edward Bloor, It is quite a good book with lots of things to get you wondering about what's wrong with his family and what are they hiding from Paul (the main character).


What do I think of the book so far, I think like every great book it has its extremely long setup to explain who everyone is and what they do. I feel that it will get very interesting between Paul, his dad and his brother. I think this because his dad overlooked everything for Paul when they moved but focused on giving Pauls brother the best he can get to further his American Football education.


I feel that our group is working really well together even though we have the small bit of talking over each other but I'd say that's expected from a group of year 8's who just want to read and unlock crackers while talking about the book.


What could I do to make the group work better, I can try to stay on topic while keeping the other people in my group on track as well. I can also help the other people by letting them talk and not interrupting them. And for the people that don't talk that much I can ask them questions.
