This week we have been sent into the library to sustain a book so re can display and recite our book in the front of our class. There were many varieties of books to decide from. But the book I chose was perfect for me.
Title: Jinny & Cooper
Revenge of the stone witch
Written by: Tania Ingram
Definition of the book: For Jinny, it's not easy owning Cooper, her annoying talking , disappearing guinea pig with a love of biscuits and a talent for sniffing out trouble. Especially trouble of the witch kind.
Is the witch burying strange things outside Jinny's house? And why can't jinny bring herself to be friends with goody-two-shoes Katie, the new girl next door?
What do you think?
I haven't filly read this book yet but I really think that I am going to enjoy this book.
Prediction:
What I predict about this book is that there are many twists and turns. I predict that the guinea pig will cause loads of trouble but will still protect jinny. Raise your hand if you like to own a talking, disappearing, and teleporting guinea pig, because I know I don't.

Remember to be cybersmart
W.A.L.T create and use our own photo's and learn about what copyright means.
What I learnt was that you have to ask for permission for a photo is you get it offline or you give credit to the photographer of the photo.

"So what do you have on the list?" "Umm drinks" "Yup" "Ohh you better mark et" Get it Market!!
Today we are getting ready for a huge market day tomorrow. I am so nervous but so excited at the same time. Students from room 5 and room 4 are doing a market day. A majority of my class have use pallet wood (donated by whaea Gaylene) Me and my group (Letisha, Kaya, Charlee, and I) have created really adorable shelves. It is so sophisticated but it is so simple to make. There is a variety of different shops, for example, Nail salon, coffee table, string art, slime etc. Me and my team have worked really hard and I think every other team has too.
Today room 4 and room 5 are preparing the hangi so it is ready for tomorrow. The plan is to prepare the hangi this whole day and put the hangi in tomorrow. So that means we are peeling the potatoes, opening up the chicken, chopping our vegetables, making stuffing and more. I am so very excited for this adventure ahead of me.

1, 2, 3 PATU UP!!
 |
A few weeks ago we had a huge tournament of 2 touch. I was so excites and anxious. I couldn't wait for the tournament after all of the training. The person who coached us was matua Joe (Parehuia's dad) When I heard of 2 touch I didn't think much of the game, but when we began to train and actually learn the game I really started to like it so much. I mean, not as much as netball but it has to be at least on of my favorite sports. The rules are pretty simple. Down below I writ the rules about 2 touch
- Teamwork - If you don't work as a team then you wont win the game, literally.
- 1 touch - If you get 1 touch you cant score a try but you can still run
- 2 touches - If you get 2 touches from 2 different people from the opposing team you are playing it is a instant hand over.
- Campers - Campers are the people that are at the try line waiting for the person with the ball to through the ball to them so they can score the try
- How to start the game - To start the game you have to pass it back to a person on your team. If you are in the try line then the opposing team will have to wait for you to pass the try line.
- Scoring - when you score a try you have to leave the ball where you got the try.
- Touching - no rough touches
- Passing - you are allowed to pass in all directions
- If you get 1 touch in the tryline pass it backward to a person and they can score the try. If they get a touch then that person can pass it back then they can pass it back e.c.t
- Have fun

Make good decisions with your money
Today we welcomed a special guest into kura. His name is Garry. He is a money man that works at the ASB. Today he had a lesson with us in class, and he was talking about how some people and other people spend there money wisely and dumbly. We had this really cool game about spending money wisely. We all got into separate groups and he gave each group $1200. We had to spend our money on a holiday, flights, motel, food, insurance, passport and more. This game taught us to spend our money wisely and never use a credit card because at the end of the day you have to pay a bill. Did you know that if you don't pay the money you borrowed on the credit card, then you would have to pay more than what you actually have to pay. So here is an example...
You got to pay for a new sofa/couch and you writ the payment you had to pay on your calendar and then a few months or weeks later you forgot. Now what will happen is that the place where you bought that sofa from will charge extra money onto the actually payment.
Yes that is just the unspeakable but just remember to always never borrow money of your credit card.
So while we were playing the game he gave each team $1200 so the first thing we had to pay for the holiday was the flight. If you wanted to you could go on the premium flight or the 1st class but here is the twist, if you were to go on the premium flight then you would have to pay $300 but if you were to go on 1st class then you'll have to pay $500. Me and my buddy decided to go with the premium class because we didn't want to pay more than $300, but my buddy decided to go with credit card and we didn't know what was about to happen. Down below are the rest of the things we had to pay for.
Passport - $100
cash
Motel - $100/ $300/ $500
We chose $100 credit card
$200
Food - $200
Cash
When we were near the end we were piled with money but let's remember that when you borrow money you have to pay it back. So if me and my buddy used credit card and borrowed money for the motel and plane and we were overdrawn and didn't pay our money back that means that we have to pay more then the original price. So that means that we had to pay back $400 for the plane and we had to pay $200 for the motel.
At the end of the day we ended up with $200 but the main thing was that we had to have fun because all of the money we saved to go on a holiday was spent on things that we wanted and that's what we wanted to do, we wanted to have fun with the money. So if you ended up with $400, $300, $200, $100, or even none means that you spent how much you wanted on your holiday. Remember that you could spend that money because it was your savings money. Down below are the results of how much money each group ended up with
Group 1 : $0
Group 2 (Me) : $200
Group 3 : $0
Group 4 : $200
Group 5 : $100
