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! :)

E village / Museum visit

This term so far has been so busy! So far we have  been weeding and mulching down at Hamanatua stream, we have gone to the museum and E village, we have gone on a bike trip and we have been practicing really hard for the gym festival. We have got so much more cool stuff coming up.

Our inquiry topic this term is Retro Tech. Last week we went to the museum and E village to learn more about Retro tech and technology of the future. It was so much fun at the museum we got to write our name with quills (feathers). We got to look at tonnes of other old items in the museum, I really enjoyed it.

Then we walked to the electric village. There we learnt about transport of the future. It was so cool. We got to ride on an electric scooter, complete activity  and control robots using ipads! And when we left we got a free lollipop. Overall I really enjoyed going to the museum and E village.

Escape from kraznir

Last term my early level four writing group started a story writing adventure called escape from kraznir. It is so much fun! We have some slides on our hub witch act as templates. Our writing is still a work in progress and NEEDS editing. Here is my escape Kraznir writing so far. Enjoy! :) (here is a teaser)
