Google summit

The Google Summit was AWESOME!!! I had so much fun. The Google Summit took place in a school in Auckland, the school was called Mataua Ngaru. We presented our presentation on My Maps, Tour creator,  Tour builder and Story spheres. I feel that our presentation went really well.

We ended up attending a robot workshop (ozobots) and a piano one (makey makey). They were both really fun. Afterwards there was a prize giving, I won some chromebook stickers and some virtual reality glasses.

After the Google Summit we headed to the museum (way better than the one in Gisborne). Then we headed out to dinner, I had spaghetti bolognese. Then we headed to an amazing ice cream shop.  We got to stay in a three story mansion. We traveled to Auckland on Thursday morning and came back on saturday afternoon. I would probably give the Google Summit a five out of five stars!

Cross country

Earlier today we headed down to the cross country track, it was finally the big day. All of our hard training had lead up to this  moment. We started. The year six girls ran two whole laps. After I was super hot. I didn't find out my placing as I came in with a few other girls. It was loads of fun.

Afterwards I was assigned to a post. I got to cheer everyone on. It was lots of fun encouraging everyone to finish hard and do their best.  I'm not the best runner but my mum says to give everything a go and try your hardest so that is what I did.

Here are some photos of me and some others running the course:

My place my story

I was chosen out of MLH along with seven other people to travel to Auckland for a Google Summit.  I am working on a presentation on my maps to present to everyone who is going to be attending the   Google Summit. Our map is about our life so far.

We are leaving in a van next week on Thursday,  To be honest i'm not too excited about taking a van from Gisborne to Auckland (let's hope it has air conditioning and no one gets car sick). I'm soooooo  excited about going though. Last week we had a nacho lunch. That was to fundraise for accommodation and fuel, man those nachos were good!

I will post about the Google Summit again after I finish my map or after we get back, it will be filled with photos showing you what we got up to. Here are some photos from my map so far. I have started to add in why these places are significant but trust me they are a mess so you will not want to see them at the moment I may post some of them next week though. :)

Inter school soccer

Yesterday I headed off to inter school soccer. It was a blast! I played for the girls team. There was also a mixed team. There weren't enough girls who played soccer for a school team so some other girls had to fill in. We won two games and didn't get into the finals. We still had loads of fun though. The mixed team won all of their games and brought back a trophy. Here is a photo of  my team.

Refugee

In my reading group we have started to read a book called Refugee. Each week we have questions to answer about the book. I am really enjoying the book so far! We are only allowed to read a certain amount of pages every week so we don't get too far ahead of our group. I can't wait for next week so that we can read more. Here is the blurb from the back of the book. :) Enjoy.

Stonehenge

This week in MLH we have been looking at some monuments. We have been researching Stonehenge, Newgrange and Mashawe. We had to do an information report on Stonehenge because the winter solstice is coming up. we also completed a my map on all of them. Here they are. Please leave a comment. :)
 

                 

                                               

Fish in a Tree

At the start of term two we started reading a book called fish in a tree. It is about a girl called Ally Nickerson, she has dyslexia and learning differences.  I really like the book so far. Each week we are set with different tasks, each relating to what has happened in the book. This week I choose to do vocabulary and a short story pretending to be Ally using my senses.  Here they are. Dont forget to comment! :)
