Today, we had a special visitor Mr Cook! He taught us a really cool experiment to do involving balloons, a bottle, and hot water! It was lots of fun to do and I'd definitely do it again!

Acrostic Poem: Refugee Reading Task Mahmoud
ACROSTIC POEM
MAHMOUD
Running for my life, trying to stay alive
Exasperated from our long journey
Furious for waiting for the boat
Under fire trying to escape
Gasping for air, lying on the ground
Gasping for air, lying on the ground
Everyday this is happening, this is not fair
Entering country to country

My Weekend Journal!
On Saturday Mum, Tara and I woke up early to go to Christchurch for my first ODE for the season. This time, instead of doing 65cm, I decided to push myself to do 80cm. We got their the night before and we did some cross country training near the event, and got Skippy shod at the same time. Once we had finished training, we drove to the place the ODE was held, and started walking my courses and plaiting Skippy up for the dressage. The next day we had a tiny bit of a sleep-in and we got up at 7:30, my dressage was at 12:00pm. whilst we waited I went and walked my courses again, and grazed Skip. Overall, My dressage went really well, and I got a pretty good score too. Next it was showjumping, and I got clear which was really good too! Next it was the hardest part, the cross country. Unfortunately Skippy wasn't in her rhythm when we started, so we had a stop at fence number one. It went great until fence number 10, which was a corner, and she swerved out of that one too. But, we came back into it and she jumped it great. Overall I had three stops out of 21 jumps, and I think that I did really well, because it was quite a hard course compared to the little 65's I'm used to. I can't wait to go again!

Refugee Reading Task: The Great White Shark
GREAT WHITE SHARK RESEARCH
The Great White Shark has a distinctive white stomach and a grey-blue top half of their body. They can live up to 70 or more years, just like a human. The biggest of the Great Whites can grow up to 20 feet, or about 6 metres, but most are smaller. Female Great Whites are longer than the males, measuring up to about 15-16 feet long. They are mostly mistaken for the Mako shark, Porbeagle or the Bronze Whaler. It is illegal in New Zealand to trade in Great White products, and also illegal to take or harm these creatures, and the must be returned to the ocean immediately. Young Great Whites eat smaller prey, including fish, rays, or other sharks. Older Great Whites go for larger meals, like Sea Lions, Seals, otters, sea turtles and whales, such as Belugas. Great Whites swallow their food, as they do not chew. They are ranked #1 on the deadliest sharks to humans, and there is around 80 unprovoked attacks to humans per year.
I used this website here to get most of my information.

Refugee Reading Creation:
This week for one of my reading creations Bridget, Cameron, Eden and I did a video of Josef's dad jumping off the St Louis and people screaming man overboard, with Josef desperately trying to catch up with his father. I did this creation with my classmates, Eden, Cameron and Bridget. I was the camera-man and the editor for this creation!

WALT: Add Decimals By Applying Our Known Strategies
Overall I really enjoyed doing this task with the members of Pinky Maths Group. I am very happy with my prediction, because it wasn't far off! Also I think that the way I worked it out my estimation was quite successful, and I'd love to do this activity again!

Pick A Path Story Creation!
My Weekend Journal!
On Saturday Mum, Tara and I went for a horse ride down at Iveagh Bay. Before we went, I begged mum for me to take Shadow, my dog for a walk with us too. She said yes and I told her my plan to take him with me. I would lead him off Skippy, and I had already practiced leading him at home. Once we were on our ride, Shadow was really good and he was really well behaved. We had a great ride and had a fun time. On Sunday Mum, Tara and I went for a bike ride and we took Shadow with us again. After that we went for a swim but it was a bit cold! I had a really fun weekend overall.

Refugee Reading Task: Mahmoud's Story With Bridget And Eden
For one of my reading tasks, Bridget, Eden and I made a video creation of when Mahmoud and his family (from our class book Refugee) tried to stay somewhere warm and dry, but a Turkish man stopped them. He asked for a lot of money, per family member to stay one night. Mahmoud's father said no and tried to find somewhere else to sleep.
