Literacy Week 3/4
This week and next week we are working on a narrative for booktrack me and my group. We are working with Mrs Hall to create a narrative to put on booktrack for others to read. I really like working on booktrack because there are lots of sounds to work with and lots of books to read. I hope you like reading this blog post!
Makaraka Athletics Day

On Monday the 23th, we had our Makaraka School athletics day. I competed in all of the races I could, and that was the 100m and the 200m races. The 100m was my first race of the day, and we had to have two heats for the Yr 6 girls races. The clappers went bang and we all raced off, I felt really nervous and excited. I ran fast and when I reached the finish line I saw my mum right before me looking happy. Mr Hocquard handed me an orange rod and congratulated me for coming first, I was really proud of myself. The second heat ran and the judes got the top three ready for the final 100m race. Again I was excited and really nervous, again the clappers went and we all ran off round the corner to the finish line. I came first again with both me friends coming second and third. The 200m race was next, so Mr Milne called the Y 6 girls over to the lanes to wait for our turn. Again we had to go in two heats, I was in the first heat, so I got into my lane and waited for the starting sign. 'BANG' went the clapper and we raced off like lighting. I came first again in my heat, then the finals were after lunch. For lunch I had an ice-block and half a container of last night's dinner. During my 200m race, when I near the finish line I got the stitch so Hannah speed up and just passed right by the finish line so she came first by a few centimeters. So altogether I got a first and a second. I had a really fun day with the tabloids sports after the running. Week 1/2 Literacy Work
We have started a new rotation of literacy work in the classroom. The first two weeks of doing the literacy, my group was on Pm cards, so we had to read the PM card and then we had to answer the questions on the back.

Piktochart Poster
Today with Mrs Krausse we used this new app called "Piktochart". Piktochart works a bit like canva but it's got some differences. On Piktochart we created 5 steps on "How to report inappropriate behaviour online". Using Piktochart was really fun and it's not hard at all to work it. I hope you liked reading my piktochart step by step process on "How to report inappropriate behaviour.

My Groups AppSheet App!
Here is my group GSET App, this is just a screenshot but i'll put the link below. In our app we have a graph of the height of the grass, the agronomist info, and the grass info as you can see on the phone. This app stores it's data on Google Spreadsheets. When you add in data on the sheet it then adds the data in on our app so you can see the new stuff we add on. This app is pretty easy to work and I like using it. It's very fun to play around with but sometimes I get a bit stuck when i'm trying to fix errors and warnings in the app.
In conclusion, my advice is that if your trying to create an app for your business, use Appsheets! It's very easy like I said and very fun to use. I hope you enjoy looking at my groups app and reading this post! Enjoy and have a great day!

In The Holidays....
Makaraka School holidays are just 1 week away from now! Oh I can't wait! My family go away about 5 times a year. In the holidays, my family and I are going away twice. The first time were going away in the holidays is on the 4th of October and we're going to Anaura Bay, just up the coast for 2 nights, we're bringing the Mathers up with us.

Two weeks after that trip when Makaraka Schools Term 4 starts, all my family and our other friends the Carmichaels and we're both going up to Rotorua to stay at a holiday park called Rotoriti. We're going up to Rotoriti on Thursday the 18th. Rotoriti is located just passed Okere Falls and the White Water Rafting starting point.
I really like the holidays but then I miss school. We haven't gone on holiday out of New Zealand as a big family of 6. Well last year we went for a 10 day holiday in brisbane, Australia. That was really fun, but Mum and dad made it a surprise. We left on a friday and I got really annoyed because I had netball that day and I love playing netball! So I hope you enjoyed reading what i'm doing in the holidays with my family. To end my blog i'm going to have a question... Do you like the holidays better than school days? Or is it the other way round for you... Do you like school days better than the holidays?
