Salmon fishing and toy museum!

Today in Wanaka we went to go fishing for salmon at this place called Hook. It was pretty expensive to catch a fish as it was $40 a kilogram. I caught a 1.9 kilogram fish and was so excited! The colors were really beautiful and I caught it on my second proper cast! After that we went to the Wanaka toy museum. it had lots of toys but it also had lots of old cars, planes, truck, motorbikes, and even a few boats! There were also pedal cars and when rode on those. It was actually quite a lot like E.C.M.O.T back in Gizzy! (although you couldn't go in many of the cars and all that.) Tomorrow we are going skiing and we have to get up at like 6.30 in the morning. I am going skiing and not snowboarding and I will take lessons. (Obviously). So far it has been really cool in Wanaka and it will hopefully get even better!  Also we ate some of the fish hot smoked. YUM.  I also forgot to mention that we are staying with two other families, and there names are Fish (nickname) and Jo, La, Paula, Ned (In the photo below), Darcie, and Miller.

Puzzling world!!!!!!!

Yesterday in Wanaka we went to this awesome place called puzzling world. It is really cool with lots of cool illusions in it. There also was a really cool maze that you had to get to four towers before you were allowed to get out of the maze. The maze was really annoying and it was so big and confusing!!! We didn't go skiing today because apparently the weather was really bad. BUT, I know that we are going skiing on wednesday, thursday, and friday. I am really excited to go skiing and I hope the weather is good (It is supposed to be good but the weather websites can be wrong sometimes).  All the things in puzzling world was really trippy and it was so confusing.

Wanaka!!!!!!!!!

This week me and my family are going to be skiing in Wanaka. We flew up yesterday and today we havn't skied but we have gone for a walk through the town and have had our skiing passes sorted. It is meant to be raining tomorrow but rain usually means snowing in the mountains. This will be my first time skiing and I am really excited to do it! I have decided to learn to ski instead of snowboard because if you learn to ski first then you get better quicker. Learning to ski is easier to learn than snowboarding because your feet are used to moving by themselves but on a snowboard they are strapped to the board. We are staying in this really cool house that is super warm all the time! The view from the living room is awesome as well because it is looking over the town and the lake and there are some mountains for a backdrop. I will be keeping you posted over the week and I will tell you what I did that day. Please leave a comment

REFUGEE

For the first week back of term three we have jumped right into our learning. For our reading group we have been assigned a task were we have to read little snippets of this book called refugee every week and then we have to answer questions about the part of the book we have read. It is a really good book as far as I can tell. It is about three children and their families in different periods of time, trying to emigrate to other countries to escape from war and starvation. One of the kids and his family are in Nazi Germany, 1939, trying to escape from the treatment they get for being Jews. They try to get to Cuba. On the other side of the world. One is in Cuba, 1994, trying to get to America to escape from starvation in Cuba, and the last one is in Syria, 2015, and I don't know where they are going just yet, trying to escape from war and political unrest in Syria. It is a really good book and it is written by Alan Gratz. Please leave a comment on this post. :D.

Term 2 reflection.😀

So it is the end of term two... AND IT HAS BEEN AWESOME! we have gone to E.C.M.O.T, the Museum, Life Ed Truck, the four Pou, ANZAC day, and the Waka Tarawhiti. The inquiry topic has been really fun and I think I have done well in academics. It is awesome to learn about the old technology that our grandparents parents, and great grandparents have used.

I was really proud of my report and am happy to be chosen for the GEGNZ google summit. The next term is going to also be amazing. In the next term I look forward to the GEGNZ. It's going to be superly awesomely cool.
