Today we went to the Duffy assembly, our quest was Jamie Wall. He was an author and he travelled to different Countries and watch sport games. He also wrote a book called Brothers in Black.

My first Duffy book I chose was Ella's Diaries. I chose Ella Diaries because I enjoyed reading diaries.  The second book I chose was Goosebumps. I chose Goosebumps because I love reading horror story.

Mind Lab Recount

Mind Lab Recount

“WOW” I was so excited, because I was going to the mind lab with
my class and it was going to be fun  and interesting.

First we went inside the mind lab then the two ladies introduced
themselves to us. Their names were Emma and Kenza. Before we
started our first lesson, Miss Emma talks to us about how to make a
torch flash by twisting a cog. Then we look for a group of three and
work together. We had to  build a torch by using L.E.D, motor, axles
and cogs. We spun a cog to flash the L.E.D Light. But we didn’t get
time to finish building our torch.

Then our second lesson was with Miss Kenza. We built a car.
We used batteries, motor, fan, wheels, cardboard, axle and skewers.
We put a straw through the skewers so it can help it move. Then
we put the skewer through a hole in the cardboard. After that, we
attach the positive and the negative wires together. Then we put a
fan on to the battery, and the battery helped the fan spin. The last
thing we did was to attach the parts together by using tape.

Finally it was time for our walk. We went for a walk around
the mind lab, and looked at the olden days stuff like: the pump house,
telephones, trains and houses. First we went down a tunnel
where there was a train going around.  When we finished
looking at the train, we went to look at the olden day phones.
I liked the olden day pump house because it was interesting learning
that people use it to get water. When finished we went to look at some
other olden day stuff. 

The other thing we saw when we were walking was the olden day
cars. Then we peeked through a door window to look at a man that
was sleeping in jail. While we were peeking through the window, we
saw the man’s eyes were open. After that we went to look at the olden
day village. So we went and looked in to this little tiny house with
little tiny beds and shoes, and it also had a little kitchen behind.

“Wow” It was so exciting and interesting learning about what they
used to have in the olden days. I wish one day me and my family
will go there. When we went back to school everyone
was exhausted.
