This is my ice in jar report, it was an experiment for our class the experiment was to put ice in a jar and wait for a half hour and see what happened. I found that it was all wet at the end.

Mr P messed up and he deleted the post that goes with this image. Pete fixed it up again.

I did Mr. P, but be a bit more careful next time. Anyway Middle P is getting more famous by the minute. We are on iTunes but all the other classes making podcasts have big light up signs, good gear and everything. So Mr P said, “Go and make an icon for us.” so I did. After an hour of work I had it, the answer to our bad icon trouble. I reckon it’s pretty good, why don’t you take a look for yourself.

Photo Story 3 is a program that allows Middle P to make our stories on Middle P stories, one of our most popular websites. You can watch a few of them on Middle P stories. It is a long process doing the stories but it all pays off in the end.

You can download Photo Story 3 off the internet. I know on podcast 4 it says you buy it but it was really just a small fault. Anyway it is a great program and you can find out how to use it better if you go to the How to Use Photo Story 3.0 on Mr P’s website.

Anyway out  of  time, got to slide so see ya!

On the 4/9/06 the crocodile hunter also known as Steve Irwin got killed by a short tailed stingray while doing a special clip for his daughter Bindi.    According to the news the stingray got boxed in and got scared and panicked waving its stinger everywhere which went right through Steve’s lungs and into his heart. He swam to the surface and ripped the stinger out of his chest. Unfortunately he died and that was the last anyone saw of Steve Irwin or the crocodile hunter.
Middle P were very disappointed at his death so the next day brought up three websites and a video, (that we got off Wikipedia), to read and watch. We found a few facts on the short tailed sting ray on a web site called wikipedia. Middle P were very sad when we heard he was dead but we can always watch his daughter Bindi.  
 

Almost every day of the week middle p has the roll.

I know it sounds pretty average because you used to have it to as a child but middle p does it differently.

When we do the roll we have a subject it could be transport or Geelong etc then we have letters that your word has to start with. It can have several letters or a very little amount.(say up to 5 letters or as low as 2 letters) and then the teacher rates how good the word is in these words Very good, I was expecting that one and terrible. And that is how middle p does there roll.

Is our latest pod cast and we are very proud of it. It should be on middle p prattlings buy the end of this term. It includes all your favourites and also the long awaited word of the week is back with all new contestants all new words and NO RE-RUNS all this and more on pod cast 5.

Bellaire’s having a big toy sale to raise money for new playground equipment for the preps & juniors. The toy sale was set up by the junior school council and kids  were asked to bring any toys that they didn’t want under these rules:

No electronic or wireless electronic toys.

All toys must have all parts with them. (so the buyer can enjoy it as much as you did)

All toys must be working (so there is no disappointment to the buyer)

Then class buy class they go buy the toys to give those toys a new home.

A group of middles goes to camp and build’s hut’s to see what their score was when their huts are tested in different conditions such as Earthquakes and Storms.

Group five arrived at the hut building on 21^st August to find a whole forest of trees and sticks. The activity was hut building so they got to work. There was a big creek with no water in it so it was the perfect place to build a hidden hut.

Most huts built in the creek didn’t get a very good score but the builders got to be lazy because they didn’t have to build walls.

Some groups had tyres, others had twigs but all of the students worked the hardest they ever worked to build a waterproof/earthquake proof hut.

Each had an hour to make a hut that had to hold the whole group. After an hour had slowly gone by it was announced that it was time for testing. Read the rest of this entry »

Middle P Stories is a website that allows you to listen and see all Middle P’s latest stories. Of course though there are the downsides if you do not have Broadband you need to use the small version, (this is because it is smaller and won’t take up so much of your valuable time waiting on the computer). The link to it is on the bottom of a section on the right hand side of this blog with a heading Blogroll! Hope you have a good listening to all the stories see ya!

I’ve got a new job, I have to deliver catalogues around a 1 kilometre distance. I do 150 houses every weekend but that’s not the hard part, the hard part is rolling the catalogues. It takes 4 hours to do this but you get a pretty reasonable pay. This week I got $18. OK, so  it’s not much but anyway got to go so see ya!.

Bike Ed is in it’s 5^th week and it has taught the kids at Bellaire lots off skills about crossing roads safely and lots more. Everybody brings their bike to school and gives it a ride around for a while. Last Bike Ed we gave them a ride around the school and went down a big hill. I wish I could have gone faster (the girl in front off me wasn’t going fast enough).

On the Monday the 6^th we went on a Geelong excursion around Geelong but one bad thing happened in Eastern Beach.
