Our plastic oceans



Currently in rimu we are researching on our plastic oceans for  inquiry.  Our main topic name is "Waste not, want not".  Below is a poster my bff (Please check out her blog here) and I have made, I personally think it is amazing. And was the best part of our presentation. 
Our next step is to do our action learning.  I shall explain more in that post to come.
But for now I/we hope you enjoy reading through this slide.
Thx ๐Ÿ™ƒ๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ€

Why you should and should not be fined for missing school...


This week in rimu is hooked on books week! And it's has been so much fun so far, Especially since we read new and exciting books each day. My favourite so far is called Liars, you should totally dig through your local library for it. And I like it because it's kind of a mystery murder book. And I love mystery novels.  But anyways, today we read a book called "The goldfish boy" it was pretty good. But it wasn't my favourite. Well The main character in the book is called Matthew. and he doesn't go to school. This lead us onto an interesting writing unit. About how in the U.K your parents can get fined if you miss a day of school. And so we had to write a speech on that. Whether we agreed or disagreed.
And I was kind of in the middle. And above is a video of my speech. 
I found it really easy to write, because I love writing persuasive  speeches. And I have gone on to win awards for that. 
I hope you enjoy watching it!

Taking flight

                    

Every term in rimu we focus on a couple, of different genres of writing. The first few weeks of this term, we have been looking at recounts. I In week two we wrote a recount based on a, little clip we watched as a class.  Something I found really difficult was finishing my writing. Because I didn’t just write about the clip. I made up something to go just before the actual clip. You’ll get what I mean when you read my story. I also really think that I have improved during this session. Mostly because of all the diary entries I have written.
I hope you enjoy reading.
