Inquiry

Over the last couple of weeks we have been learning about drains. We had to ask a couple of key questions and then me and Charlotte make a movie about drains. We had to include A topic title, What you knew at the start, Your key questions for investigation, What did you find out ans then you had to take ACTION.

Here is the movie we made.

Our field trip

On Tuesday we went to the Tukituki River and the Karamu stream. We had to do lots things like measuring temperature, how fast it was flowing, width and depth. We had to find Macroinvertebrates and much much more. At the Tukituki River, me, Pare, Charlotte and Ruby found the heaps of Macroinvertebrates. 
And we had so much fun!!.I learnt that if you have a little bit a algae that is good because the macroinvertebrates eat that bit but if it was thick they would not eat it all and the river dies.

Camp gone wrong

Camp gone wrong



While me and Harriet were tramping up to sunrise hut we were at the back of the class.When we were we walking we saw a baby wild piglet, it was right down the cliff so me and Harriet went to touch it and we slipped down the steep, rocky cliff.

So the story begins...

Where am I, where is the class, most importantly where am I. I look to my side and see Harriet I said to myself at least I still have Harriet, we make a great team. Now I say to myself lets find a shelter.



Let’s use a map of the forest,track where we were before and find where you are now.There we are right in the middle of nowhere, no one will ever find us now.Now let’s find the nearest track and the closest way out.Don’t let that little baby pig distract you. Let’s focus on finding a tree to rest in and sleep in for the night.



So I ask Harriet ‘’what about this tree it’s high and it looks like it has good shelter’’ she said ’’it does look like great shelter’’.I said ’’I will set off to look for some wood and can you find some big leaves.Then we meet I have got some sticks, strong thick sticks.’’Harriet have you got big leaves’’ I say and she said’’yep’’so I bring them back.‘’It’s getting dark’’I said, ‘’we better hurry back’’. Harriet said ‘’We better get started then’’.We start to yell out’’Help, help is anybody out there please help us we really need your help, Harriet and I are starving out here.

I say ’’look at this tree it is high and it looks like good shelter We just need to add some sticks that I have got and then find some sticky sap and stick the leaves together for a blanket. I  will climb this tree first but I can’t climb it, it to hard because it is to thick. I say to Harriet, “ill you get my rope,it’s in my bag. Harriet throws it up and it lands on a strong branch. I climb and while I am climbing I can hear some cracking it sounds like a branch but where, where could it be. As I slowly look up the crack is getting louder as soon as I look I can see the branch I am using and it is breaking. So I go back as fast as I can and yell ‘’the branch is breaking’’but it is too late I fall to the depths of the forest, and it seems as if everything is in slow motion. I hear a faint yell of Harriet saying ’’GEORGIA’’...
Don’t quit on me’’.Your bag where is the bag there it is, is there a first aid kit theres gotta be a first aid kit I pull out a Rope, two Rain coats, Pocket Knife, Water and food, Whistle, Map of the Ruahine Forest and there it is a First aid kit.I wake up I see Big and bold beech trees, Turquoise blue rivers, Tues and fantails chirping a song, the moss eating the forest floor, The squishy mud swamp traverse up the hill then I start to go sleepy very sleepy I yell out help ,help help ,help ,help ,help... but no one could hear not even harriet…



As I wake up I look to my leg it is tattered and torn with a bandage around it but where's Harriet I look up she is in a smaller tree much easier to climb.I try to yell out to Harriet she looks at me and says ‘‘Georgia is that you I it is,guess what I used the leaves and some berries I put the leaves on the top of the tree and put the berries on them spelling SOS and it look like there is something coming in the dictines I also think the class has called a search party were getting out of here.



I stand up with some sticks I used as crunchies and say ‘’what’s that growling sound it’s sounds like it is there ‘’I can hear it to, try to come up here’’ ‘’but I can’t’’
‘’is the plane here yet’’ ‘’very close’’’ ‘’Harriet I am scared’’ guess what the plane is here it is landing down there down a step, step step clife.’’I will take that risk’’ ‘’ no Georgia you will hurt your self’’ ‘’to late CANNIBAL!!!!’’ ‘’later Harriet comes down she is riding one of the big leaves she got.We meet we walk to the plane and ask for a ride back he says ‘’ticket please’’ ‘’but we don't have a ticket we are stranded please let us in’’ ‘’sorry ladies not this time’’.

Later we see a big group of people running to the plane with tickets we said ‘’where did you come from’’ ‘’down there man follow the track’’ ‘’so we set off  Harriet says my crunchies are still fresh do you want one ‘’no I am fine thanks I wouldn't even be able to hold it ‘’wait a minute what's in you bag what’s that glowing’’ ‘’ I forgot I have the MUSIC MAKER 1000!!!! ‘’dont yell Georgia‘’ ‘’now Harriet get my music maker thanks now  do your magic♪♫♪♫♫♩♬♪ there plane tickets lets go’’ ‘’we make just in time her are our tickets’’ ‘’Harriet were going home’’ ‘’YAY says Harriet’’.Then I say ‘’Harriet you were a good friend thank you so much for everything’’.

Camp Moment



5th March 2014

I.A.L.T Create a short recount that captures a camp moment and interests a reader.

Georgia Maidens - Camp Concert.

On Tuesday our class went to Camp Wakarara and on Wednesday night we had a camp concert.When it was our turn, I was really nervous, shaking and laughing at the same time. I was in a group with Pare as the assistant, Eva as the director and Bella, Daisy and Me were the popstars.Then at the end of the skit we picked 3 people to be a microphone. They would sit with their hands up in the air.They were Laura, Charlotte and Guy then we would all sing price tag by Jessie J with a little dance in it :)

This is the song.

Ohh It seems like everybody's got a price
I wonder how they sleep at night
When the sale comes first and the truth come
second
Just stop for a minute and smile.
Why is everybody so serious?
Acting so damn mysterious
Got your shades on your eyes and your heels so high
That you can't even have a good time.
Everybody look to their left
Everybody look to their right
Can you feel that? (Yeah)
We're paying with love tonight.
It's not about the money, money, money
We don't need your money, money, money
We just wanna make the world dance
Forget about the price tag yeah.
Ain't about the (uh) cha-ching, cha-ching
Ain't about the (yeah) ba-bling, ba-bling
Wanna make the world dance

Forget about the price tag yeah.

A journey through the mind of Georgia maidens.

A journey through the mind of Georgia maidens.

Take a trip inside my mind, where anything is possible and your mind can run free and wishes come true and there are never nightmares.


At times my sister is so annoying , she will wake me up in the middle of the night and will not go away.She will always ask to play a game.


I have the most awesome friends in the world.And my family is the coolest in the world.I wonder what my family will look like.


I dream of winning a beauty contest with emerald crown and the prize is a ticket to Hollywood and I buy the cutest little puppy or kitten in the world that is white or black.


I wonder what i will look like when I am older, and what job I will have, i would like to be a vet and save animals in the jungle.


My hope is to have my own farm, with lots of horses ,bunnies, sheep,pigs,cows,chickens and farm dogs.And someone will invent a flying car.


I can often do a back flip into the pool, and a forward flip into the pool and belly flop.


When no one is watching i steel lollies, and prank call people or dance like the 1980s in the mirror.

This year my goal is to be a house caption, and be in the blue sticks.
