Literacy

For literacy this week we have been learning about surviving in the wild or out at sea. Our activity are based on Survivor NZ . We have teams and each of the teams are called a name we picked Kaha which means strength in Maui. Our first task was to go back and forth getting water to fill up a small bucket.
Later we had to find thing like something red or something fluffy. I think that "Survivor" will be a fantastic project and I will have a better understanding of coping with environments.

Shantytown

This week I went to Shantytown on a school trip. First we dressed up as old fashion school kids. After that we had morning tea. Then we learnt about old fashioned punishment and went on a steam train and the teachers got a bag of gold to give to the bank. When we got off the train, we started to scream out "gold". When we got back to the church we got robbed and the teacher lost the gold. We wrote down what the robber looked like and a police constable came and caught the robber.  Turned out it was all acting and I think he was guilty. But we didn't find out if he was. After we had lunch. Next we acted out a court case and we found that she was innocent. I was a jury. I think everyone enjoyed the day and I would like to go back there again.

I know I did.
