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. 

Cook's Cove Walk

Cooks Cove Walk 

It was Thursday morning when we went to Cooks Cove for a very tiring walk.The teachers were sorting out the driving groups. My mum took me and a few other kids,It was about a half hour drive to Tolaga bay.Only the years six's went to the walk because we were practising for our camp.

When we arrived we got told our walking groups I was with Hunter and Te atawhai and our teacher was matua Stephan. First we went up these stairs and just that was extremely tiring. We got to the a big statue and I thought we were done but guess what it was not even a quarter of the way we still had ages to go. Next we had to go up a mountain near cooks cove,witch was quite tiring. There were some downhill bits which were nice. After the hills and stuff we got to the look out it had a good view.This is the lookout picture 

It was very tiring though. Next we went down lots of stairs which was a big relief but on the way back up thats just painful.Once we got down the stairs we got to have a brake and have some food.Then we wen't back up witch wasn't as hard as I thought when we got back to the start I sat down straight away then we headed back to school.
