Reading - Can do Scavenger Hunt

This is my reading can do. I had to answer some questions. I read the article Unwanted Visitors the second to last question is a made up answer. I did this because I wanted to know more about wasps and make sure that I read the article properly. I learnt that a wasp has three body parts. 

Quick write draft

Quick write

There was money everywhere and I was shocked. “Hey guys is this real money?” I shouted. “Yes” replied a stranger. I grabbed a $50 note ran to rebel sports and bought my favourite pair of Nikes. I saw someone drive a bulldozer and collect a lot of money. I ran and jumped in the drivers seat. I yelled that’s my money. The man hopped out. “Yah this is all my money” I yelled. I put all that money in my bank account. I took out 3,000 dollars and spent most of it on clothes. I was soo hungry. I ran to the fish and chips shop.

“Lady can I have large fries?” I asked

“Sure $2.50 please” She demanded.

I paid her and took the bag. As I took a bite I could taste the crisp and the salt. As I swallowed it the taste was delicious.

For writing we had to do a quick write. After that we had to edit it using DRAFT Delete, Rearrange, Add, Fix, Talk. I did this because I want to edit my writing properly. I learnt how to edit my writing.

Presenting at assembly

This was my first time presenting up on stage. I was very nervous and I had butterfly's in my stomach. When I did my practice I thinking about how I would be at assembly. I was up on stage with Victoria. When it was almost my turn to speak I was nervous but what made me more nervous was when Victoria was tapping her legs silently and I could feel the vibration. At the end I was proud of myself for presenting on stage. Thanks to Mrs Anderson because she gave me the confidence to present up on stage.

Trust activity

LS2 did an activity on trusting each other. one of them is to get a in a circle. The next step was to sit. If everyone is sitting on each other's laps that means were doing it right. The other was really fun. We has to partner up with someone we don't trust. The next step was to close our eyes and our partner had to guide us from the junior playground to LS2 back to the Junior playground. I had a lot of fun doing the trust activity.

Tech - Smoothie

The Yr 7' went to tech and made smoothies. Our ingredients were yogart, berries banana and powdered milk. We had to mix it then put it in the blender. We had to turn the blender on for 5 minutes. Once we had finish we got to drink it. When I drank it I didn't like it when I drank more I started to like it more. I had fun learning how to make a smoothie.  

Home learning - Taj Mahal

This is my homework I did with Latham. We had to research the Taj Mahal. I learnt to put facts into my own words. We had to answer the questions what am I, why was I built, where am I, Who uses me and when was I built. Our challenge was to find 5 interesting facts and find the location using Google Maps. I did this to learn to research more.

My blog comments

I commented to Latham on his stretching sentences , Alex's how to be a succcessful learner at school and Room 10 from Ruapotaka school on their recount when Duffy came. I did commenting because I haven't done it in a long time.
