The Library

This week 7ld had a visit to the school's library. we were asked to choose a book that was chapter length and in our choice. I had chose a book called Earth Fall. Earth fall is made by the author Mark Walden. Earth fall was about a boy named Sam who had just survived a invasion by something called the VoidBorn, who were aliens. His father, Daniel Shaw or Andrew Riley used to work for the company to take over the world before he found out what was happening. Daniel implanted a device into Sam's brain to make sure that he couldn't become a Sleeper. A sleeper was a human being that the VoidBorn had put to sleep when they were taking over the world. I haven't quite finished the book but I have enjoyed it this far. The length of the book is about 346 pages long.  Here is the book title and the author

 
Overall I think this book is very interesting and I hope to read more of this books series. I recommend this for people who love action and chapter books. I hope you enjoy looking at this book and this post. Feel free to comment on what you think about this book.

Newslea Reading!

These past two weeks for reading 7LD have been reading off this site called Newslea. Newslea is a reading website that everyone can use for free. For Newslea the articles I read was ‘What makes a planet Habitable’ and ‘The History of Earth Day’. While reading we had to do a quiz, we had 4 questions to answer relating to the article. I got 3 questions for the Habitable planet and for the Earth Day I had 0 out of 4. There is also a write feature which you just write what the teacher had assigned to you. One of my friends had 4 out of 4, we were both surprised at her score. Here are some photos on Newslea and my score.

Overall I like Newslea a lot and I can read whenever I like. You should make an account if you like reading too.  I hoped you enjoy looking at Newslea and this post, please feel free to comment!

What makes a good school

Term one was a hit! Everyone is friendly to everyone and they all get along. Although I will miss term one term two is now here and ready for new adventures! I made a WordCloud that had key words about what makes Hornby High School a good school. We had a choice to work with a partner and I did, my partner was Genica and we made a good Word Cloud. I hope you enjoy this WordCloud I made with Genica.

W.A.L.T: Create a WordCloud of key words.The first thing we did was find the words we wanted to write and wrote them down in a google document. Then went on a website called Tagul. Tagul is a wordart website that is very easy to use.

Overall me and Genica had fun making this Word Cloud and really hope you do too! Please Comment and share.

EOTC Week!

This past week Ako Ngatahi and Ruma Toru have been at EOTC week. EOTC week stands for ' Education Outside The Classroom' week. The year fives and sixes were allowed to come to EOTC Week, the catch was that we had to pay $50 dollars to attend, 3 kids couldn't come sadly. The events we went to were Surfing, Adrenalin forest (The best), Sailing (Which was canceled sadly) and last but not least we went to Mega air and we also did Top Team(My team won). We all had lots of fun and we all enjoyed it. Here are some photos of what we did and the places we went. My favorite event was Mega air and Top team, We all had fun so that was good.

Adrenalin forest is where you basically climb on trees, You have obstacles you have to face  and there are 3 levels, 1, 2 and 3.  2 and 3 I didn't get to complete because Everyone was crowding number 1 and I wanted to number one to see how it was.

Surfing was also fun but seaweed was EVERYWHERE, Literally. We  all had spent 6 minutes cleaning the seaweed off and us girls had to was our hair. We had a lot of fun. We did surfing and body boarding, everyone loved body boarding

We also found a Photo of Mr. Scott on the Flying fox so here you go, Mr. Scott on a Flying Fox
