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.

Welcome 2017!

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

Sunday's Earthquake.

On Sunday night, well Monday morning there was a earthquake that shook New Zealand. The earthquake was about 7.5, Our biggest earthquake for 2016!  The earthquake happened at about 12:08! I was sleeping when this happened, my nana woke me up and told me to go to my brothers room. I didnt't know what happened because I was sleeping, so was my brother. I slept in his room for 1 minute untill my nana told me that there was a earthquake. I was too tired to understand what happened so I went to sleep. Some of the damage is dangerous. here are some photo's of the damage in kaikora, where the earthquake did its worst.

Master Chef!

Today for health and nutrition we had a shared lunch as a achievment for being healthy! We had to get into our reading groups, my group was the Megladons. There were other groups like the Krakens, Dunkalicious, the Piranas, the Orca's, the Great Whites, the Dolphins and the Stingrays. The foods up for grabs were Salads, Fruit smoothies, Kebabs and Crisps(Which were just cucumbers covered in some things!) We were lucky enough to make the fruit smoothies, they tasted Amazing if you were asking. Here are some photo's of us making the food and some other groups preparing them. I hope you don't drool looking at these beautiful photos and enjoy!

This food was really good and everyone loved the crisps! Thank you Pirana's!
