Michel loved reading because of reading comic books. He's favorite superhero was Green Lantern because he was different from the other superheros. Michel is also a semi-professional gamer. He was so lucky that he got asked from WWE to illustrate a comic book for them. Michel likes wrestling he trained professionally he started wrestling 12 years ago. This made him close to famous people around the world.

Why do People Build Bridges?

In writing my groups task was write a explanation on why people build bridges. I have used some information from Inquiry as our topic is bridges. If we wanted bonus points we would add a sentence with a colon or semi colon and added a sentence with a sense verb. I had only put in a semi colon. I found it hard to add a sense verb into one of my sentences. I learnt how to use a semi colon and a sense verb. But I also learnt some interesting facts like the first car was built in 1885.  

Vector Wero Park

Today was exciting and fun because 29 students from my class including me was so lucky that we got to go to Vector Wero Park. Vector Wero Park is a water park that has river and water courses for rafting. When we first got there we all went into a theater where we watched a video about the legend of Maui then we watched a safety video this made me more confident to get started. After this we got changed into our togs then we all put on our wet suits, jackets, life jackets, helmets and water boots. We each checked our gear with the instructors then we got our paddles. We were ask to get into groups of five, four our six. In my group was Mele, Nyjah, Joel, Viva and our instructor (Joe).

Kiwi Can

This morning my group went to Kiwi Can. Our theme was resilience and the topic was perseverance. Perseverance is never giving up and always trying your best even if what ever your doing is your weakness. For example when I was playing cricket I knew I was bad at hitting the ball with the bat but I still tried my best. In Kiwi Can we also talked about what we do when we get frustrated and what we could do to keep ourselves calm. 

Maths Challenge

Today my maths group was lucky enough that Mr Wong had made a Maths Challenge for his class. He had

shared the maths challenge with our teacher Mrs Anderson then Mrs Anderson had told us about this amazing and fun activity. Mr Wong had made this Maths Challenge on a spreadsheet he had used codes to create the Maths Challenge. This Challenge helped me practice my addition. I also got to solve addition

problems by using strategy's.

Rugby Inter School

On Wednesday some students went down to Collin Maiden park for rugby inter school. The year five and six girls joined Rippa Rugby, Year seven and eight had competed in the Rugby. The year seven and eight joined the development which means we learned different types of rugby skills.  

Orchestra Trip

Today some senior students had the opportunity to go down to the Town Hall to experience some amazing music from the Orchestra group. The group preformed three pieces of music. There was some different types of instrument which was really exciting to see.  We also experienced a great piece of dancing from students from St Kents.

Sentences Using Colons

After learning about sense verbs my writing group have also learnt about colons and semi colons. We all had been sent a document with sentences that is missing a colon. Each of us did this task individually I added a colon to where it had been missing. Once I had done adding all the missing colons I then illustrated one of the sentences. 

Sense Verbs

In my writing group we have all have went on this site which helps to remind us what the five senses are. For this activity we were to fill in the blanks. I picked the best answer I thought was right. Unfortunately I have got two wrong. This means that I need to learn and focus more on the five sense verbs.    

Josefa and the Vu

My reading group each picked a book that they would study on. We could also be in partners. Nyjah, Fui and I have been reading Josefa and the Vu. We have picked this book because it is based on pacific cultures which we found interesting. We are now up to chapter four. We have completed the character review and the author review and now up to creating our setting review. This book is mainly about Josefa who goes through a lot of trouble to get his Grandfathers Tabua back from his bully Jacks Bucksworth. I predict that Josefa would get his Tabua back from help from his fellow class mates.
