Penguin Project

This term we have been making a project about penguins. There were three choices to pick out of. There was a picture, a life size drawing and a diorama. For the picture book you could do it in a pair of three, for the life size drawing you had to do it in pairs of two and the diorama it is also pairs of two.

Me and my group picked the picture book. We made it based it on the gingerbread man but as penguins and we will show all of there dangers and things they have to face in a daily basis, like dogs, cats, rats and builders. We have to do the pictures which is quite hard to do. We haven't finished yet and I also think we are a long way from finishing. The teacher said we only have to do about six to ten pages. We have done six.

My group has about one week. I hope we can finish if not that would not be that great. 

Beach Clean up

This week, we did a beach clean up. Our teacher said there was a prize for who ever got the most trash. She said the prize was from Japan. We had to do it in groups of three. I was with Max and Momo.

The teacher gave everyone a bucket. Once we had our groups together and buckets sorted we went to the beach. We found a plastic bag and a plastic tube sort of thing. We walked all the way to the Wainui Surf Club. Our bucket was pretty much full by the time we got there. One of my friends found a towel and somebody else found a balloon with stuff in it. We had a play there for a while then we had to go back to school.

We walked back on the pathway and we found two beer bottles. A lot of people found beer bottles. Also, on the way back, I found a nerf dart and some kind of sweater.

 When we got back to school we had to count all of the rubbish that we found. We didn't get too much but that is a good thing.
