For this we firstly had to write our scripts, then we have to click on the Screencastify extension. After that we clicked record. After recording this we were instructed to blog it on our blogs. the process of actually setting it up took forever.

Today I chose to play Nim because my friends was playing it and I wanted to challenge him. The challenge was to see who would finished the game first. I lost it was fun

Cross Country

This term LS2 has been practicing and preparing for Cross Country. We have been learning how to paste ourselves. Before and after running we always have to stretch. It is important to stretch because it will help loosen your muscles. We have been running five laps or more around our school fields which I think is good. We have been practicing two times a week. On Wednesday which was the School Cross Country. Everybody was excited and bit neverous. The Cross Country went in year groups so first was the new entrance kids and went up to the year seven and eight. The new entrance kids were running 1 lap. They were amazing. They didn't give up even though it was muddy. Girls were been told to go first then boys. They year seven and eight did five laps. Five laps was lots so everybody remembered to paste themselves and to breathe in and out while running. Before running everybody were stretching. I am a year seven boy which meant I had to do five laps. When I crossed the finish line I was told I came 3. I was very proud of myself and will do better next time.
