The Presentation

One week before Wednesday the 13th, my class found out that we had to make a presentation to explain to parents and teachers from other schools how we used our Chromebooks. It took a long time, but eventually we finished making all of the slides. Every body in my class had to talk and explain at least one thing that we used on our Chromebooks. This slideshow (above) shows what slides I made If you go in to present mode, click the settings symbol then click speaker notes, you should see what I had to say about my slides.

Interactive information report

We have been learning to write an information report. To make it more
interesting we linked our information to a picture. Click on any part of my

Mt Hutt Camp

Mt Hutt Camp

On the 23rd of July Tuesday morning the year five and six kids from Kokatahi
School left for Mt Hutt retreat. When we arrived we did some activities and went
to bed. On Thursday morning When I woke up and got dressed in to my ski gear
and we took a bus up to Mt Hutt ski field. Our class was split into three groups.
Two groups of people who haven’t skied before and the other group had skied.
I was in the group that had. Both groups had an instructor. Our instructor renewed
our skills on the learners slope because none hadn't skied in a while. Once wehad gone down the small slope we started to get bored. We asked if we could go down the steeper slope and we
were allowed. Before we went down he said remember to turn but caleb wasn't
listening and as we went down he thought doing the pizza would stop him but it
didn’t and he sped down and hit the side. He didn't go down after that. After the
instructors left, the experienced group were allowed on the steeper slope but none
of us were allowed on the chair lift so we used the magic carpet (it's a conveyor
belt). We started skiing down the slope and it was so fast and fun that you had to
turn and brake or you will smash into the fence at the bottom of the hill. We skied
down the steep slope all day until it was time to leave.

Shanty Town

Shanty Town On Thursday the class went to Shantytown to learn about the valley in the old days. We learnt lots of cool stuff about the old days. First we arrived and they told us what to do in an emergency then we got dressed in olden day shirts and waistcoats with a cap. After that we had morning tea. After morning tea we learnt that the Maori came over to the west coast for pounamu using the Noti raureka (Browning's Pass) and the Europeans came for gold. We learnt that the gold miners needed food so farmers came and cleared the trees for land. That was the start of farming on the west coast. Since there was lots of flax on the west coast flax mills were made to make rope. Dairy farmers drop off milk to the butter factories and most of that butter was used for the miners. They also supplied milk to the dairy factory that opened in 1901.

Rocco's Anthology

descriptive writing

I’m in the desert climbing the tallest rocky cliff I can find at sun set and the clouds are golden orange and I am hanging off a cliff. Despite the cold wind I are determined to get to the top. My hands feel like they are burning because the hard, rough, sharp rocks.

My harness and climbing gear is very tight and I am high off the ground. I can hear rocks tumbling
and fear they will hit me but they pass safely. Everything is dark with shadow except the ocean
coloured sky and the golden clouds. I am a little bit frightened but keep on climbing. I smell clean
fresh air
