Current Event Quiz

This week we did current events we had a question about "a hiker in mexico is being described as having nerves of steel after she managed to take a selfie with a wild bear that climbed up on her. This is a very contriversial thing to do seeing as a bear could kill you in record time. 

Here is a phot of the hiker. Her is a my map of where this event happened. Check it out. Click here.

Take the OAR

In school we learn about taking the Oar and not the BED. These are words that mean different things. 

Ownership
Accountability
Responsability

Blame
Excuses
Denial

I think that this is a really good thing for kids to learn and do because it teaches us to take the OAR and own up to our mistakes instead of going to BED.

Matariki Harvest

We also had to do an activity around the Matariki harvest. I chose 8 traditional foods from the harvest. 

Matariki Lantern design

Continuing on Matariki, here is another activity around designing a candle. I chose this design because it is simple and I didn't have much time. I thought it looked pretty good but I was more amazed by some of the other ones. Here is mine.
