Oakley Creek

Oakley Creek

The council is going to redo Oakley creek to stop it from flooding.

They are asking kids what they think they should put around the area, like parks. Room twenty are writing down their ideas. These are my ideas.

This is how I think it will make the place better. I think if we had a park by it and maybe a little food bar there too. Also a field that you could play different kind of sports. Maybe different kind of sculptures in it. One of the sculptures can be big and can say Oakley Creek on it.

On the park I think we should have some swings, some monkey bars, a slide and a pole you slide down. Maybe a flying fox too. The park should have rock climbing walls, I think that will be cool. Maybe some little tunnels you can play in thats connected together.I think each activity on the playground can have a different colour, that would be cool.

Also maybe part of the park could have a toddler little play area that they could play on. Maybe on the toddler area they could have a sand pit or a little safe swing. I know a cool as cars that is stuck on springs that bounces back and forward.

If there was a food bar people can buy lunch and things so they don’t have to go somewhere else to eat it. I think would be great if they was a food bar. If there was sport games on people can get some food and watch the game at the same time. In the food bar I would put some lollies, pies and drinks. Also yummy hot dogs and hot chips.

If there was a field, lots of families would want to go there and play sports and things. The field could have soccer games or rugby games and more on and you might want to watch it.

My last ideas is the sculptures. The first sculpture im going to talk about is a big sculpture that can have the word Oakley Creek on it. That sculpture could be a big duck that can say Oakley Creek. Around it , it can have sculptures of people, ocean animals, a pearl shell and more.

I hope you liked my ideas and maybe use some of them to if you think they are good enough.

Your sincerely, Deja

The egg drop challenge

Name: Deja

Date: 25.2.15

An egg drop challenge is all about having fun. Also to try your hardest to create a way for the egg that we are dropping from a certain height, to be cushioned with things around it. Also to try slow the velocity of the egg down, when you drop it. There were six people competing in this challenge. Only four showed up and that was Alice, Lizzie, Jonny and Jordan They all tried their best to protect their egg and trying to make it survive.

I was competing but I was sick that day. Any way my contraption was made out of some of my things from my recycling bin. The contraption  was made out of some cut up biscuit packet holder thing. I also used a black plastic bag I cut up into a big square, a little bit of string that was the same size and some tape. My contraption was actually a bit difficult to make because I had to cut out heaps of bags to see  if it was a right size for its parachute. But finally I made a parachute that was the right size. The egg that I was going to drop from the playground was going to be wrapped up in bubble wrap as well.

On Friday we did another egg drop challenge. It was Jordan, Johnny, Hillary and I. We did it from two places. It was from the senior playground and the Junior playground. First we did it from the senior playground. All of them survived because I think we all tried to slow the velocity down. Then we went to the junior playground and dropped it from there. All of them also survived. Out of the three other people, I think that Johnny's one was the most interesting. I thought it was cool that he used a balloon for his cushioning. I like that he used a box and covered it in tin foil.

I also thought that Jordans one was cool because he had used two egg containers and he put the egg inside it. Also that he used barbecue sticks to hold the two egg containers together.
