Map Work for Week 4, Term 3

Think of a place in the world that you would be nervous to visit. In the comment box below write that country down and why you would be uncomfortable visiting it. Give us an interesting fact about it. Don't forget to add your New Zealand towns also along with the interesting information about one of them. Missed you all today :(

After being pampered at the Polytech

The girls from Room 5JP were invited to have their hair done at Tai Poutini Polytechnic today. This is how some of them came back.

Thank you for my lovely day

These are the beautiful flowers my awesome class gave me. Thank you guys. I had the loveliest day:)

Map Work for Week 2, Term 3

Please post your map work information here! Don't forget that I need to know the time difference between NZ and your chosen country as well as the time there and here! Last week some of you didn't work out the difference :)

Map Work

Sorry I didn't have this ready for you sooner. Please put your map work here!

Our Writing Motivation

We have looked at this video today to inspire us to write. We have to choose our audience, our purpose and the style we want to use to write. We used our writers journal to take notes as we watched the video. Some of us will put our writing below so come back and see what we have done!

Map Work

Use the cluster map or globe on our blog site. Choose a dot. Find out where that dot represents. Mark it on your world map in your homework book. In the comment box below:

- Name the place you have chosen
- Name two towns, cities or landmarks that are close to your chosen place
- Find two facts about your chosen place or one of the places you have identified as being close by
- Think of a question you have about that place and write it in your comment box as well.

Zumba

Today Michelle from BodyWorx Gym in Hokitika came to talk to us about careers in the fitness industry. While she was here she took us through a few Zumba songs and moves. We also got to make up some of our own.

What did you learn about the fitness industry today?

Getting started

Hello Room 5CO and Room 5JP!

Welcome to our blog site!

To get us started I would like you to simply open up our blog site sometime during the week and say hello and put your name. Remember to only use your first name and your last initial (if there is someone else in these two classes with the same first name).

Remember some important internet safety rules when using this site (and others):

• never give your full name
• never give your phone number, address or email details
• don't mention where you will be at a particular time
• don't put any of that information on the net about anyone else
• think carefully if you respond to anyone else's comments because they can't hear your tone of voice to determine if you are joking or serious
• it is ok to have a debate with someone if you don't agree with their ideas but do it in a friendly manner
• do not call people names or put them down
