Robyn Mundy, Nigel Rigby

Epic voyages is a big book with some sailing and some other stories and expeditions in it. Like s the adventure of Sir Ernest Shackleton. It is a very interesting read, It gives you so much information about the adventure. The one I read was Ernest Shackleton's expedition. Ernest shackleton and his crew of about 28 men set of on the 1 of august 1914. They soon found out that they had rough conditions a head. one of the first big problems they came to was a big lot of thick ice. They got stuck in the Ice and basically started to live out on the Ice and they started to make kennels for the dogs out of Ice. They soon started do drift away from where they wanted to go with the flow of the Ice. They soon had to go in little boats so that they used to get out of the flow of the Ice. They were close to dead several times because of pieces of Ice that was bigger than houses.

Literacy week 3 Term 4 2017

This week for our numeracy we were finding out about fossils. We did a drawing about what we knew about fossils first and then we read some stuff and did another presentation on what we learnt.   This is
my KVL which shows my prior knowledge of fossils.  As you can see I didn't know much at the start.

Survivor reflection T4

This week for literacy we have started this really fun activity called survivor. What you do is you come up with a team name and you do activities like build a hut, build a stretcher to carry a team-member and other stuff like that. My teams name is Mana Kaha which means Mongrel power. Our activity was to build a tent, build a stretcher to carry a team member and the other one was to make a sling.  We were really good at hut building.

Shanty town reflection

This week we took a visit to Shantytown to learn about what it was like in 1866. We did stuff about court cases and we all had a role to play, I was a jury. The case  was Mr Owen Wright had lost his watch at a hotel  and was drinking at the time. Then his table was cleaned by a lady called Jane Simmons and after that he didn't see his watch . There were lots of other details but over all I thought that Jane was innocent and the jury decided all together that she was.  We found at the end we were right. WE also got robbed by this guy with a gun and he took the gold. We had to tell the policeman the details to track him down.  My favorite thing about going to Shantytown is getting robbed. My least favorite thing was to be dressed up like old people.
