book review

          WONDER by R.J Palacio. 

Wonder is about a facially deformed boy named August Who has trouble fitting in with other children because of his appearance. August has been home schooled for all his life until the time comes for him to go to middle school. The Principal (Mr Tushman) Set some people to help him get through until he settles in he has set Jack, Julian and Charlotte to help him, but do they all have the same gifts of kindness?

The meaning of this book is to show that there is more to a person than their appearance. I thought this was a great message. I also liked that it was written in different voices so that you could know what the different characters thought of August. It was a great book.

Here is my book review.

Reflections Week 10 Term 2

This our last week of school. We had to make a reflection of the term I made it of the things we did and what I liked I thought this was a really good idea of showing our learning of the term.

My trip Main star language

Three reasons why my trip was important 

Last term our family went in on a trip around NZ, from Stewart Island to Cape  Reinga. We had a whole term off school but we still learnt a lot and there are three main reasons why it was a really important experience for our family.


Firstly, we got to spend more time with our family.
Secondly, we got to see how beautiful our country really is.
Lastly, we learnt so much Maori history, whaling history and geography around NZ.

I feel like I really know my country now!


Me with my cousins in Golden Bay.

Boat Construction: Main star

Boat Construction : Thinking

On the weekend we made a little boat race for our own. We made them mostly out of card board and some skewers but produced the mighty barge and the catamaran.  My boat was the catamaran and my brothers one was the mighty barge. The barge was not so mighty that in a few minutes it got  stuck on some rocks. My brother threw a rock at it, and it flipped then sunk.  My brother was so sad. But we kept the now mighty catamaran going until Dixson park bridge, by then it was REALLY  wet so we let it sink.  However, it went a long way with out sinking, from Sawyers creek-Dixson park bridge.  I was really impressed how far it went.

Particapating and contributing

Participating and contributing.

This is the hockey most valuable player award. I had the best game I've had and I stole the ball off the  opposition lots of times. We played the best team in primary hockey and it was very close the score was 2-1 to karoro.

I really enjoy hockey it is my favourite sport.   :)  

Participating and contributing 

Sometimes after school on Friday we do experiments. Mum sets it up for me and my brothers and sisters.  This day we made coloured foam with shaving cream, cornflour and food colouring. When I put my hand in it it felt like sea foam I really liked the feeling of it so I played with it for a long time. After a couple of days to dry out our foam has become solid clusters, which we can activate with vinegar and hopefully they will explode!!

Grey Main star : relating

Bank books : Main Star, Relating.           :)   

I have set up a bank book for Bessie,Franklin,Caspian and myself  we were playing shops with the money we earned. Franklin said that he would give us real money to play with but he said we could not keep it.   Caspian drew a car on his bank book so Franklin deducted his wages for the day

I was inspired by PrEP because I thought that would be a really good idea. 

Beware of the thieves 

A gold mine owner in Notown (in the Grey valley ) has dressed a skeleton in cloths to keep away the
thieves he also put a sign saying  BEWARE LOOK WHAT HAPPENED TO ME!!!!!!!!



I think this is a really good idea do you?
