Who is your favourite Saint?

Ladies before Gentleman.

On 29th of October my hub was lucky enough to go to Ferrymead. It was a long trip there with alot of narrow roads. When we got to Ferrymead there was a man that looked liked Willy Wonka with polished shoes and alot of hair jel. He told us 4 rules. Ladies before Gentleman, take care of your shoes, no hands in pockets and children can be seen but not heared.

We had to get change into olden day clothes. Then we where put into groups, in my group there was Me, Archie, Lucas, Jimi, Lewis and Charile. We looked very weird because we were wearing 3/4 pants. Also we were still wearing our summer clothes underneath so it was very hot. We did alot of things but my favourite was the movie theater. I was up the front of the very small theater it was about cooking.

INVENTION CONVENTION!!

This Term for PBL our driving question was. : How can Invention change our lifes? First we looked a guy called Joseph Machines and he gave us an idea on what we were doing, then we had to pic an evolution of something, me and my friends pick the evolution of Music. This is the slide.

Then we had to pick something that has changed our lifes and my group picked the BIKE! Finally we got to choose what product we would create , we had to think of a problem and then make a solution to it. My group made a coke can opener shaped like a Kiwi because we are from New Zealand. This is what it looked like, this is my action plan.

To a galaxy far far away, THE MUSEUM!

On Monday the 16th of September my hub were lucky enough to go to the Museum. It was so fun!!! First my had Me, Lucas C, Alexis, Zoe, Jimi, Jack, Archie F and Gabriella. We were allowed to look around the Museum while the other 2 homebases learned. My group went out to lunch first. So we tried to capture seagulls. Then once the other groups we had to leave and do the learning. We learnt how the Maori used inavation to get food and make fire. Then we had a chance to do it ourselfs. I would like to thank the workers at the Museum and the parent help.

Have you ever been to the Museum?

" You are innocent, no charges will be pressed."

Hello this week for writing we have been doing Jury writing. We got to pick a fairy tale and prenteded that we were in court. My group picked little red riding hood and the wolf is being accused of Kindapping Grandma. Here it is.

Script

Police: please stand for judge archie ( everybody stands)

Plays the  NZ national anthem

Judge : please be seated (everybody sits down)

Judge : last tuesday, on the 11 of september 2019, at 9:33 pm Lucas the grandma accused the wolf of kidnaping her.  So today, on the 13th of september, we head to court to discuss this.

Judge: The wolf has been accused of kidnapping grandma, your statement please Grandma.

Grandma : I want to sue the wolf for kidnapping me. He came to my house with one job and one job only, to kidnap me. With evidence of and broken door and wolf footprints leading to my bed. And when I woke up I was in the woods with a scar on my head. 

Wolf: I objected the was no smashed door what are you talking about. She’s obviously delusional like, just look at her. How old is she?

 Lawyer: my client  is not lying there is now evidence that my client smashed a door he entered through the door, I strongly believe that you are lying Grandma. And the footprints are your Cheetah slippers.

Judge : Stop you are right about there now evidence about the door but there is a police statement about the footprints leading up to the bed but we don’t know if they are slippers or the Wolf’s footprints. Now could we invite the witness up to the now  stand please.  

Witness : I was there at the time walking my dog through the woods and then I heard a window smash and I looked to investigate. When I got there and I saw a little bit of wolf fur on the front broken doorstep and I immediately ran behind a tree and called the police.

Grandmas Lawyer: As I was making a cup of coffee grandma was taking a nap then she hears  something break down the door then before she knew it, she had been kidnapped. It was a terrible seen to see I was terrified.

Judge : Yes but the wolf still kidnaped the grandma wolf why did you kidnap grandma.  

Wolf : I did not. I was simply asking you if you wanted to buy some cookies for a  fundraiser. I knocked on the door but no one answered I could hear something. The door accidently broke then the Grandma followed me out of the house to try and get me. 

Judge : I have come to an agreement this has been a misunderstanding. Grandma woke up and chased the wolf but she fell over and hit her head.  That’s why she went back to sleep, and why she has a scar on her head. So you are both off the hook But its not over if we find some more evidence. 

If you did this writing what story would you choose?

My reading book is spooky.
