Camp Goals

 Today we were writing our camp goals and my Social goal is to make new friends, my personal goal is to push myself to the limit. I'm really excited to go camp because I want to go on the new activities. 

Letter to the Editor

 Today my class and I were writing letters to the editor of the Gisborne Herald. We were writing them because the river by our school is covered with blackberry bushes and it's the council's job to clear it up and they haven't been doing it. My school has been emailing them, calling them, andusing the Fix It app. But they never reply. Down below is my letter: 

At my school, Saint Marys gisborne, we have Taruheru awa next to our school. We are a green-gold enviro school and we do lots of planting native trees on the awa banks. But there isn’t any more room to plant more native trees because the council has stopped mowing down at the river, and there are blackberry bushes stretching from the river  up the banks near the fence line. We would like the council to cut the blackberry out and start mowing down there again. Then we can plant more native New Zealand trees,to provide shade over the river to encourage more little fresh water crayfish and other tiny creatures to start living there. I believe planting native trees will increase the amount of animals like native birds, fish, and any other native animals so that they can make homes. The birds can make nests in the trees, and the fish and other water creatures can live in the river. We are writing to the new zealand herald because the council have not been replying to our many emails.

Collage Pop Art

 Today we had our cybersmart teacher in and we made pop out collages and used a sight called LunaPic. We made the collages with photos of ourselves. I found it fun choosing the filters. It was tricky to download it. The artist that inspired us was Andy Warhol.

The Crystal Crescent

Talofa. Today Fantastic Four (My reading group) were reading the back of the book Crystal Crescent, witch we will be reading a chapter of soon. This is what the back says: "We can't avoid the moon. We're inside it's atmosphere. We're going all the way down." The ozone layer has been destroyed and Earth is at risk. The only hope for humanity is to find the precious liquid telotion. When heated, telotion creates huge amounts of ozone.

Raki and Tando are on a mission to find a source of rare substance when they crash-land onto an unknown planet. What are the mysterious blue creatures they find on there?

And why have they taken over Tando's mind?

Raki will face the biggest challenge of his life in his quest to save them both. 

I think this book is about two boys who have to go on a mission to save the world, but one of them gets in trouble and the other has to save him. I'm excited to read it.
