Extreme Trampoline - by Alice

I was riding in the car waiting excitedly for us to get to the Extreme Trampoline building.

Finally, after a long bumpy ride we got there. 

When I walked in the doorway I could hear kids screaming and running excitedly.

When I came in, straight away we went to warm up on the nine Olympic sized trampolines. 

What I liked most about it was the huge climbing wall. You climbed up and then jumped into a big foam pit. I had the most amazing time and I’ll definitely go there again!

Alice's Summer Poem

Summer Poem

Summer smells like the strong salty sea water travelling up my nose when I walk across the beach. I can smell fish and chips as families picnic on the beach at sunset.  

        

Summer sounds like waves crashing onto the wet slippery rocks. I can hear seagulls squawking as they circle over my head, looking for their next meal.

Summer tastes like delicious chocolate ice-cream melting in my mouth. I can taste the salty sea water swirling in my mouth after I get dunked by a wave.

Summer looks like the sun beaming on the deep blue shimmering sea. I can see people sunbathing in the burning hot sun. People are splashing in the shallow blue sea. I love watching seagulls flying high in the bright blue sky.

Summer feels like the soft, silky, hot sand on the bottom of my feet. I can feel the sharp shells pinching my feet. I can feel the freezing cold sea splashing on my body.

Alice's Cloud Poem

Clouds

I dance through the wind.

I love turning into different animals but the wind blows them away.

The wind is quite nice to me but he gets annoyed.

But he is my friend!

I am a cloud

Crazy Filters!!!

Today our group made a water filter. First, we had to research on the internet to find out what we needed to find.

 This is how we did it :

1. First we cut a Coke bottle in half (Adult supervision)

2.Then we poked 5 holes in the bottom of the coke bottle (Adult supervision)

3.Put in the cotton

4.Tip in some sand

5.Put some mini rocks/gravel

6.Put in some coal/charcoal  

7.Put in some fresh grass

8.Put some more cotton on top... DONE

9.get some dirty water and pour it in the water filter

10.Use a container to get the clean water 

11. Do steps 9 and 10 over and over with the same water until it comes out crystal clear

We learnt how to always have clean water, even if our water source is dirty (like if we are stuck in the forest or something!).

We were surprised that charcoal made water crystal clear - we thought it would turn the water black!

We learnt that we needed to put the cotton at the bottom, so that all the dirt and sand wouldn't fall out the holes at the bottom.

We had a lot of fun making our water filter and we learnt a lot. We wish you Good Luck if you decide to make it. Do you think you can make a filter that is as good as, or better than, ours?!
