Here is my first effort.

The GET READY GET THRU website says we need a torch and spare batteries in our survival kit.

I am going to design and make a portable emergency light/torch for my survival kit.

Week 7 reflection

Week 7 reflection

I have finished my static image image presentation. I was pleased with how I decided to show my presentation and what book I chose. This week I helped Ally with drawing the books for the once static image and I also helped her with layout the inside and finish the cover.

This week I have worked really hard on my reading workspace by getting in the proof for my answers and answering questions.
Next week my goal is to finish my reading workspace.
And I have finished almost two books and my movie report on my reading wheel.

balloon car popplet


We have been making balloon cars out of recycled bottles and cartons. We had a limited amount of time to make them and then we raced them in the hall. The car is thrusted with the air from the balloon.

My poem of me

I am a mini, small and unpredictable, travelling the world.

I am a library full of knowledge and adventure.

I am Te Mata peak, paths twisting and turning, leading to unexplored land.

I am a top hat topping it off with style.

Bubbles float down from the sky, I try to keep one off the ground it might be Alexandra Grant.

Memoir story

Is remembering confusing?

Dad had just got off the phone, he looked concerned. I had just got home from school.
"Get changed into some nicer clothes." He told me.
"Why, where are we going?" I asked.
"To your grandparents." Now thats strange I thought. 

Later we were in the car, the whole family. When we arrived grandad welcomed us in. We walked upstairs, my grandma swept me up into a tight hug. She did the same with finn.
Hm, normal I thought?
"would you like some water?" she asked.
"No thanks." we both replied. Five minutes passed. She had asked the same question again ten times.
"Thats weird." Finn said to me.

when we were back home I asked dad why grandma seemed so confused. I had broken the tension. Dad took a deep breath in...
Your grandmother had dementia. It took a while to process the news. I knew what dementia was...Well, sort of. But this was life changing. How would the family cope? This limits everything. My mind was blank I couldn't quite understand.
