Lakes high school visit

Yesterday we year 8s visited Lakes High School for high school options. We did lots of activities  but my favorites were gym because we played a game called pirates and the aim of the game was to run around the gym on the yellow lines and in the middle the was a mega tramp with a mini tramp leading on to it with climbing walls all around the gym and if you got tagged by a pirate you were out. Science was pretty cool because we put dry ice in a film canister, turned it upside down and it blew up. Also we dissected a deer's eye ball  and blew up deer lungs, it was AWESOME!!!! And last of all we had cooking  and we had to make chocolate and we dipped biscuits in chocolate and covered them in sprinkles.We also did maths, french, japanese art really enjoy lakes high and hopefully that will be my high school.

Excitement level graph for storm breaker movie

This is our excitement graph we did for the storm breaker movie we watched and we had to fill out a sheet every 10 minutes and rate it on our excitement level

storm breaker

Storm Breaker

Standing on the roof of a deadly fall sail threatens to shoot Alex Rider. This is a movie we watched on Monday 1^st, it is an exiting move but it was kind of obvious of what he was going to next. The book wasn’t as cheesy as the movie and I am going to tell you why.

The characters are Alex Rider a 14 year old boy who has been recruited for the MI6 team. He has a house keeper named Jack who looks after him. Ian Rider is his uncle who was a main spy for the MI6 team he sadly gets shot in the end. Sail is an evil person who creates the new storm breaker computer but the people who have one don’t know that there is a virus in it that will release it and kill everyone who has one.

Alex Rider is an ordinary school boy who becomes a secret spy. Jack has been living with Alex for 7 or 8 years. Sail is a millionaire because he creates computers but this time he has made one that should wipe out everyone who has one. Ian Rider is Alex’s uncle and Alex thinks that he works at the bank but he lied and he is actually one of the MI6 best secret spy’s.

My favourite part is towards the end when sail threaten to shoot him until a helicopter comes and a person inside it shoots him and he falls of the building and splats on the ground.

I recommend this movie who are adventurous people who like spys

I hope you enjoy this movie and overall I thought it was awsome
