Scenes From Burglar Bill

Drama elective on Thursday. Based on the book Burglar Bill by Janet and Allen Ahlberg.

The flying fear

 
I take my seat. I remember the windy whack back outside, when the wind blurted in my face as if it were green paint thrown at your face. I try making this flight a really enjoyable one.
The aeroplane transports to its place on the departure air strip, I hear the aeroplane's propellers roar in my ear.
We are off…
We are in the sky, 2000 feet above the ground and rising, rising as if it were a flood. Then all of a sudden the aisle lights between the seats start to blink as if they were gonna explode!!
I think we are about halfway to Australia. I've been studying the wings of the plane the whole trip, now they are rattling as if they were gonna fall off! Then the plane starts to drop, drop like a bird being shot out of the sky. We hit the ground with a great THUD!!!
I realise that we did not crash, we had just landed at the Brisbane airport.

How the L.S.O.P.P WORKS.

Can we survive on all the other pitiful planets?
Think NO, well now you can with the L.S.O.P.P spacesuit advanced. The LSOPP stands for life saver on poisonous planets. This is a fully functional space suit, it gives you all the life support you want.
The LSOPP space suit runs on heartbeats from a human, so no need to keep buying AAA batteries ALL THE TIME.
Our new space suit doesn't just have one pair of shoes. Actually it has all the pairs of shoes you can get put only into one pair of shoes called surface shoes. The spacesuit also has an Alien translator which turns their language into your language; we installed this feature just in case you bump into an alien on the way. We have also installed something called O.U.P.S [our universal positioning system] which works exactly like a G.P.S.
Now let's get into the more technical stuff.
You know how it can get really hot in a space suit. Well that will never happen in the LSOPP advanced since it's got a cooling & heating system which will change your body temperature into a nice relaxing feeling. Well every spacesuit should have this….. A radio transmitter, this one though can call all the way around the universe. This is the extra fun zone you're going to read.
The LSOPP has some awesome grapple hooks for staying on the planet you're on or for getting small heavy souvenir. This spacesuit also has a built in jet pack for flying over high mountains or volcanoes. The LSOPP spacesuit has a flat screen TV. Just in case your fav movie is on this particular hour. If you don't want to watch TV we installed a SB [silly bob] which is like a little elf that will make you laugh out loud.
These are the things you'd strictly need. An oxygen tank fuelled to max for your breathing purpose, a hydration box for perfect hydration. This is something quite fancy a food tasting air compressor which makes the air taste like your favourite meal.
The LSOPP can also blow up any unexpected guests. The LSOPP stands for life saver on poisonous planets.

Joey Pigza Swallowed the Key

We are enjoying our class book "Joey Pigza Swallowed the Key". Today we drew quick visualising sketches while we finished chapter 5 "Make a Wish".

Stefan drew his sketch on the Interactive Whiteboard and did an inspiring job.

Red Cross

Something I was pleased with was how Liz gave us the whole class a booklet about first aid.

I really enjoyed bandaging and elevating Breanna’s arm. I also enjoyed putting Breanna in the recovery position.

Something I found really hard was breathing with my nose blocked and chin on chest.

Something that made me think was how to make an elevate cast.

Something I want to get better at is learnig to bandage other peoples arms.

Something I want to get better at is learning how to deal with broken bones.

Fish for Dinner

The Gruffalos performed their play "Fish for Dinner". They are learning to act with expression and clear voices. I am impressed with their timing and teamwork.

They would love any comments giving feedback on their performance :)
