I believe that kids should pick their own teacher.

I agree that they should not pick their own teacher because the teacher can be lazy, bad at learning or could be to easy.

In my opinion kis should pick their own teacher because some teachers can be good at teaching and some are lazy.

fixing writing

Here is our edited story.
Things we learnt about were
  • We aren’t allowed to use then, and, also and because at the beginning of a sentence.
  • Speech marks go on the OUTSIDE of the full stop or other punctuation.
  • The end of a sentence can be marked by a full stop, an exclamation mark or a question mark. You don’t need to put an extra full stop after a question mark.
  • Remember to check ALL capital letters. Sometimes we need to put them in and sometimes we need to take them out.
On Monday 24th September 2018 Room 7 did a blindfold challenge. We wanted to have fun and make our morning a bit interesting by playing a game.

Firstly Miss Ashley told us the rules which was no touching the tables or pieces of paper on the floor or you will lose points.“  However you are allowed to touch the chairs because you sometimes have to step over them to get to the end. Next we got into buddies. My buddy was Lucina.  We had to line up by the heater in our buddies.

First it was my turn to go so Lucina (my buddy)  put the blindfold on me (over my eyes) and helped me to stand up. The blindfold was tight it felt like a constrictor boa on my face. I felt so confused and disorientated because the blindfold was covering my eyes. Lucina told me to go left, right, straight and step over.” I was feeling nervous and a little bit scared because what if she was tricking me?“ and I was really doing something silly. I got to the end safely and took my blindfold off.

Next it was my buddies turn so I helped her put the blindfold on. I told her to walk straight first, then next turn left. She doesn’t know her lefts and rights so she went the wrong way.I said no your other left and it was a little bit funny. In the end we got to the blue fruit tray and we made it without losing any points!

I think I would like to do this activity again because it was cool to do something different and fun in class especially since its the end of the term and I think we are all feeling kind of tired.

blindfold challenge


On Friday 21st September 2018, 9.10am room 7 did the blindfold challenge, room 7 students had to get into buddies and miss arranged the furniture.

We got into buddies and my buddy was davlyn, after that miss ashley told the instructions. the instructions was you have 10 points and if you touch or bump a table or if you step on a piece of paper you lose a point, you couldn't touch the person who's blind folded.

After we got into buddies and got the instructions we played the game I had to tie davlyns Blindfold then we got up and I had to instruct him then I said “go right” and after that I said in a commanding voice  “stop your gonna bump in a table “ and he didn't bump into it then he reached the end


After davlyn was blindfolded I was blindfolded  when I was blindfolded I felt nervous and terrified at the same time when I was getting instructed I stepped on a piece of paper and it went “CRUNCH” I was like “did I step on a paper “ then davlyn replied “YES” in a frustrated voice and I reached the end.

My favorite part is when I lost a point and being blindfolded.

Natural disasters

Information report: natural disasters

 Natural disasters are a phenomenon which occur all around the world. Some are caused by moving tectonic plates, some are caused by wind and air pressure, and some are caused by other natural disasters.

 Volcanic Eruptions by Stanley
Volcanoes eruptions are very dangerous because Volcanoes shot out fire and lava,where does the lava come from magma. Magma is crusty and magma goes through the throat of the volcano then melts then shots out the lava. 
Earthquakes by Railey
Earthquakes are natural disaster that can crash buildings and make the rocks separate.
And do you know that earthquakes are caused by the two tectonic plates because when a two plate
Meets they rub and crash the ground and make the ground shake.

 Hurricanes, typhoons and cyclones by Stanley
Hurricanes start on water and Hurricanes have strong gust wind that the hurricanes even pick up trees. hurricanes have a eye which is in the middle of the hurricane and meteorologists use the greek alphabet for the storm. the clouds in the hurricanes is cumulonimbus.



Tsunamis by Railey
Tsunami are mostly caused by earthquakes because when it happens near the water it could shake the water and make a huge tsunami.
But when the tsunami crash it could make huge flood. Some of the tsunami’s flood are mostly bigger than house.

 Tornadoes by Stanley
Tornadoes form on land by a thunderstorm meeting hot air and cold in a rotating motion. The best place to hide in a tornado is the basement. because the tornado cannot reach you because the tornado can only get the roof.
Floods and drought by Railey
Flood mostly caused by tsunamis and rainfall
Because is the drainage is full of water is could make a flood. Some of the country’s has bigger flood than New Zealand.
And do you know that if tsunami hits the town it could make the a huge flood and it would take for weeks to make the flood go away.

 Blizzards by Stanley
Blizzards are like snowstorms because blizzards have snow and snowstorms have snow too but they both have different wind speeds. Blizzards have something called white out. White out means its very white and you can't see anyone.


Dust storm by Railey
Dust storm are caused by strong wind, dust and dirt at same time. When the strong wind meets then dirt and the dust it could a little sand storm but when the strong wind gets more dust it could make a huge dust storm.
But how do sand storm finish, the sand storm finish when the strong wind stops.

 Wildfire by Stanley
Wildfires are something that could burn a hole mountain. Wildfires can be controlled by people burning a little spot of the mountain so the fire can't burn the hole mountain

Man-made and natural disasters can devastate people and the places we live in. Although we can’t predict most natural disasters, we can do our best to keep safe and look after our properties and things we value.
