This is the book our reading group is reading. I'm really enjoying it I mage off Google Images



We had to describe a character in the story I chose jack



We had to do a newsletter about something in the book in our own words.




 * We had to re write a part of the story in our own word I chose the part where the kelpers were burning down the church and Jack and the vicar had fled to the tunnels underneath the church**

“Burn it all down drive out ye little sprat and the old bag” shouted big tom. The kelpers through the torches onto the old wooden timber. Peeling the white paint of all the timber ceiling, walls and wooden seats. “Come on Jack.” “Where are we going.” “No time to talk. The kelpers will be all over this place like roaches.” “Wait can you smell that.” the Vicar took a deep breathe of air “Smoke. Their burning the church. I have to go stop them.” “You cant the church is gone. Let it go.” the Vicar returned to reality. “ Your right.” he returned his pace and held up the single flame torch the Vicar went around a bend in the tunnel “ Vicar where are you.” there was no light to brighten his path he was walking blind dragging his fingers alone to rough stone wall of the tunnel the air was moist. Slowly a light began to grow there was a door in the tunnel with faint light peering through the cracks. Jack pushed open the old rusty door it hinges was stiff. Suddenly the door swung open as if realizing he was friend not foe revealing a cavern cut out of stone and the vicar standing next to a old camp bed. Jack closed the door and curiously walked up to the vicar and the camp bed revealing a man covered in blankets he was battered and bruised. “ He is the skipper of the Mv Kereru.” Jacks heart fluttered it was hard for him to breathe.

**From Gate to plate** For the past two terms the inquiry topic has been from gate to plate. For the hook'in day we made burgers, packaging & a advertisement we had to make a burger, wich appeals to people at the end of the day we got judged, the scores added up and the winner was announced. We also learned about Enterprise, Innovator, and, Design. We had to design a new invention or add to an existing one, and much more. Now to rap the topic up we are selling muffins other classes are doing pizzas and soups. First we had to decide who was going to be in the group, and decide wich type of muffin we are going to make, then we had to decide what we could add on to it and what the group name is and the muffins name. Now we are up to the stage of designing the stand and creating the muffins. Soon we will be selling them.

This is the groups poster we chose the red and white colors because their bright ( And I nice stand always help your sales ) this is what the ingredients of the muffin are

Recently we had our hook out day, It was so much fun. Selling our muffins ( wich were more like cupcakes ) to the rest of the school. My job on the day was drawing people in I think when I ran around shouting " buy from muffin munchies " actually helped ( I didn't shout loud ) I also helped design the stand and hand out the muffins and the fruit bursts ( there came 2 free fruit bursts with every purchase ) wich drew a lot of people in especially younger students. At the end of it, our group sold out all the muffins. only one was left wich was not a muffin/cupcake but 80% of chocolate icing it was so yum if only we had made more.

Here are some photos of the day

This is the picture of our muffins/cupcakes

Here is a picture of us counting and dividing the money we made

**Our New Inquiry Topic....**

The worlds in our hand topic is about cultural identity and different beliefs. We just had our Hook-In day, the teachers played some video clips one about a man wich lived in the country. Another was about, I can't remember his name but he went to this town in Africa, and the last one was an add for New Zealand. After that we had to get organized into groups, and choose what country we wanted to do our group chose Spain. , we had to make a slide show about Spain wich included 5 unique activities or traditions, some music from the country ( or video ), some foods wich they do there. and other stuff.

This is the link to My groups hook in day slide show about Spain I hope you enjoy. The ending movie takes a while to finish so stop it when you like :) media type="youtube" key="_9F_CdjZ554" width="425" height="350"

This is what we had to include in the slide show

On the Friday 10th June Anna Kelly & I made this poster we had to make a poster with some facts about different cultures.

In our inquiry were up to the wondering stage. We were presented with the task of creating a itinerary for any country we like. Kelly and I chose Hawaii.

What Makes Me Me. We Had to do this piece of work because one of our key concepts is Identity. So we had to make a slideshow about our Identity.

For the first task we had to do we had to create a name plate. We learnt about what tiles best go together due to the height and color of them. In the end this is my finished product. I used mirror tile to make it look bright. I also chose the red, blue, white, and black because I think those colours look well together and added the flowers to make it look more full and interesting.

At first I wanted to do a bird known as an Eastern Rosella but, I found it to hard to get the correct, the pattern of the feathers and the correct sized tile shards. So, I decided to do a rabbit. I chose to do a white rabbit instead of a black rabbit because it makes the rabbit look brighter and the colours stand out. I also decided to place different coloured flowers on to make it look more full, colourfull and more interesting. I have taken picture from different angles so I hope you enjoy

 * Cross Country **

My goal for cross country is- come in the top 3 and go to inter school Did I succeed - Yes I did I came in the top 3 in fact I came 1st

I found it hard running the distance of the track. Some times I had to walk. Luckily I had a good leading distance most the way. so there were chances for me to catch my breath. I found running the track hard not because I had a stitch, But, I was really tired my feat were really heavy. In previous years I wore beach shoes wich are really light but this year I ran wearing sneakers. After I finished I was really glad it was over but I was really happy. But the thing that was on my mind get home, and I think I'm gonna barf. I really enjoyed cross country this year it was a good challenge and I'm looking froward to next years. Now I'm practicing for inter school cross country

Term two has been alot of fun. I have managed to stay a head of work so I always have some spare time. I have also greatly increased my ICT skills such as uploading things onto the wiki. I have gotten better at numeracy but still need to conquer those fractions. In the area of attitudes and values I have improved I got the end of term certificate. But the thing I enjoyed the most would definently be art.
