Social Studies work about Slaves

This week in Social Studies we have been learning about the African American slaves and how they were mistreated. Back in the 18 hundreds there was a slave and her name was Harriet Tubman. She was the lady who got the nickname Moses, the reason why she got that nickname was because she saved so many slaves including herself and she took them to different places in America and even took some of them to Canada.

Gymnastics in P.E.

The first time I done Gymnastics was about 2 years ago and to be honest I didn't like it at all because it was boring and weird. This term we have been doing Gymnastics and now I kinda like it because I was getting the help that I needed to do the Gymnastics.

Today it was so fun. We got to use the mini tramp, we got to do forward rolls and we got to use the other equipment. From my experience I never liked Gymnastics but now it's changed my thoughts about it. 

The Macca's Floating house

This house is an interesting one because it's floating. You won't see many of these because they are not common. From the picture you can see that the bottom of it is the actual part of the house, that's where Johnny lives. Up the top he made his own McDonald's because then he wouldn't have to miss it from down below. In his house he has four bedrooms, two bathrooms, a lounge, a kitchen, a movie theatre and an elevator to get up to his McDonald's. Johnny lives with his wife and three kids, all boys. All three boys have a room each, in each room they have a bed, closet, PS4 and toys and other stuff. He moved up here because he won the lottery and thought that if he bought this he didn't have to follow the law.
So this was the life of Johnny and his family.
