SSR Week 1

Fiction - read at least three short stories from a School Journal and record your thoughts about your favourite one. 

Thoughts: My thoughts on Feleti’s birthday, by Kalala Raeli. I like how the book gives a lot of information about Samoa and what it was like growing up in samoa.

SSR Week 2

Magazine - read at least three articles from within a magazine. Record your thoughts about your favourite part. 

On Monday the 27 of July I read a Magazine called, Wild Things, Small And Unusual. My favourite article Was about a species named Springtails, a Springtail is a very small bug, so small that when the Springtail jumps it looks like a dust particle. It was really interesting reading about these

because I never knew they existed.

SSR Week 3

Fiction - read a short novel. Record your thoughts about your favourite part.

I read Kensuke's Kingdom by Michael Morpurgo. My favourite part of the story was when Michael (the main character) gets washed up on Kensuke’s island with his dog Stella Artoise. I really enjoyed this book because it included a lot of different places around the world

instead of focusing on just one

Beach cookout

Beach cookout On Wednesday the first of July Ruma waru walked to the beach behind the marist rugby fields to Cook food safely over top of a fire. My group consisted of me, Olive, Summer and Emma but Emma was sick on this day. We went to the beach to light a fire safely and then cook food on it for the William Pike Challenge. We made the fire first by collecting tinder, kindling and firewood. We then put the wood in the log cabin formation. We cooked bacon sandwiches for our main course and cooked bananas with brown sugar and chocolate for our desert. Our parent's help was Tania olives mum.
