Australia

Day 1. Wow. I didn't know Australia was so hot! We just got off the plane into Australia and I'm so excited. Alright, first things first get the rental van. Second things second go have dinner because I'm starving!! Dad, Mum, Nana, Grandad, Tane, Asha, Charlie and I are all here in Aussie and we're all excited. We finally got the rental van and then it took about half an hour to sort out where we were going. When we finally got to our accommodation we went straight to have dinner. Once we had that done and dusted we went to where we were staying and went straight to sleep.

The Alien Invasion

You've got the power poem

Hey you over there
With the really wooly hair
Why are you bullying
That boy over there
It's not nice
It's not cool
So why do you plan on calling him a fool?
I know your hiding something
And it might be bad
But that is no excuse to bully
And make him sad.

What will happen if we don't start to care about our environment

Our environment is not getting cared for anymore and I want to do something about it. I mean this picture (the top right corner) is Cobden Beach Greymouth right now and think of all the animals that could be getting killed right now!!! Our world will soon look like this trash bag earth if we don't do something!! So don't forget to REthink REfuse REduce REuse REcycle and REsponsible disposal! So my main message is to not use rubbish and try to get your school rubbish free then try your town then your country then your WORLD!!!

Tech Famine Reflection

On Friday the teacher's announced that we were doing 2 days where we had NO TECHNOLOGY!!! The teacher's also pointed out that there will be prizes for who could use the least technology. My class and I were all really excited and couldn't wait for Monday.

After the weekend had passed it was Monday. I came into the classroom with a surprise. Our release teacher was there but that was not the surprise. The surprise was that the release teacher was on her COMPUTER!!! The day got better and the release teacher got off her computer. Throughout the day we did some spelling, maths and reading. The next day was a whole lot better and we had our real teacher. Throughout the day there was a magician, we went to the beach and we played a whole bunch of games. We also got set a challenge for Monday and Tuesday. The challenge was to see if we would not use any technology at home as well as school. At my house we took photos of me and my sister reading the newspaper , me and my brother climbing a tree and me my sister my other brother and Mookie (our dog) all eating ice cream. In the end I thought the tech famine was really fun.
