Refugee

 In room seven this week, for literacy we have been reading a book called refugee. It is about three kids, Josef, Isabel and Mahmoud, who live in different countries at different times. They all have to escape the Nazi are attacking and they have to leave! 

We did a vocabulary sheet, with all the words we didn't know or found a bit interesting and found the meaning of the words in the dictionary.

This is my filled in sheet, and I hope you like it.

ANZAC 2021

 For the last week or so, our class have been learning about ANZAC (Australian and New Zealand Army Corps) Which was a really fun area to learn about. 

One of the activities was to make a letter in our drive. But I made mine on paper.

We read a book called "children's war" in school journal 2014. It was very interesting, and it talked about the wars at home and school that the children went through while their fathers were fighting in the great war.

We also had to fill in this sheet about the Maori battalion.

I fell I have improved with my writing, after writing several letters.

If you are going to make a letter to someone in war, I would love to see it!

Cricket

 On Wednesday the 17th, the year 7 and 8's went down to Arthur fong park to play Cricket. We got down there on the bus, and started playing almost strait away. First my team (lead by our captain Indi) Played the hard-ball boys -we were the hard ball girls-, and lost severely to 91-6! After that we played the soft-ball mixed and won by a good amount of 54-27.  It was nice to see that so many parents had come to watch their children play.We got back at quarter to 3, and in that time we had to make a poster of the Plus's, Minus's and Interesting things. As I state in my poster, it was interesting to see players who, the day before had thought they were bad, play really well!

Te Tiriti o Waitangi

After reading the journal Te Tiriti o Waitangi, these are the main ideas I got out of it.

All about me

For the all about me activity we choose 2-3 activities so our class can learn more about us and us learning about them.

For this video we had to decide what we would do if we were president.

For this activity we put some clues about us, not too many.

And for this activity we had to make a wanted poster about ourselves.

Waitangi day 2021

Since the start of school Miss Panther has been teaching us about Te Tiriti O Waitangi, or The Treaty Of Waitangi. Something I learned about the treaty of Waitangi was that Henry and Edward William were the two men to translate The Treaty. The Maori had no written language, so I imagine I wouldn't have worked out anyway. Henry and Edward Translated the Treaty wrong, so the Maori were signing to more power the British government had over them. 

Here are some photos of my mahi.
