Reflection on Using Netbooks using The Thinking Hats

 Complaining from my cousins is all I hear from them. Why? Well because at their school they have to use the boring paper and pencils. But luckily for me I get to use a netbook which is much easier to handle.

 Instead of nagging everyone and reading boring books. Just type in keywords in Google and you’ll find lots of different and interesting things about your subject. Not only that but you learn faster too. It’s portable and convenient too.

Not everything is good about netbooks. For instance, once you've broken you have to pay heaps of money to repair it.

  The netbook makes learning much easier in so many ways. For example, when you want to erase your work, you don’t have to tire your arm out. With a click of a button it just goes away. Collecting information is faster and easier too.

 

 Only if it had photo booth, iMovie, hyperstudio and garageband, these few little tweaks would make this the best learning tool ever!!!

Maths Strategy - explained by Tyla-Marie

Swimming

Making our way to the pools, I could hear the rustling sound of plastic bags. Although it wasn’t

as noisy and the chattering children. As we wait for the other kids to catch up I was sooo eager

to start our swimming lessons.

Entering the pools, instantly I smell the scent of chlorine. Staring at the water, I just couldn’t wait

to jump.

 As I put my swimming togs on, they felt still a bit damp from the day before. “Ahh” I sighed as I

hopped in the hot shower. Walking out of the changing rooms, the feeling of coldness hit me like

a struck of lightning.

 “Okay slip yourselves in and grab a flutter board”, our instructor ordered. This was going to be

an awesome lesson, I just knew it. From the water yesterday, today's one felt a bit warmer.

 Pushing off the wall, I felt like a penguin gliding through the water. While kicking my way to the

end of the pool, I nearly caught up to one of my friends. Sadly she beat me. But not by far.

“Alright, that was awesome guys. Now we’re just going to do two more lengths then move on”

our instructor announced. Thinking to myself I just knew this was going to be piece  of  cake. Or

that’s what I thought.

  I suppose it wasn’t as easy as I thought at the start. Finishing my second length I was getting

so tired. Maybe I regret saying this was going to be an awesome lesson.

  Struggling to get out of the pool, a shiver drove up my spine causing me to shake  and shiver.

Making my way to changing rooms, I just couldn’t wait to hop in that hot shower again.

  Another nice, but tiring swim lesson. I hope tomorrow’s swim will be less tiring. Back to old plain school now.

Future File - by Tyla Marie

I have been reading a story set in the future called Space Nuts Light Speed by Simon Cooke. Just like in this story, I have written a historical file about an object we use on earth, that someone could read about in the future.

This is a pencil. People use to use these to write with on a piece of paper. When using a pencil, you hold between your fingers and place the carbon bit on the paper. You can do many things with this like wiggle it between your fingers, draw pictures and write stories. As you can see there is a rubber. The rubber rubs out mistakes and can make your work as good as new as long as you don't press the carbon to hard.
