Current events - Michel Jordan's

Today we did Current events, one of the questions was about these shoes:

The Air Jordan 1's which Michael Jordan wore in 1985 were bought for 943,000 in New Zealand dollars. That is a lot of money! We had to guess whose shoes they were and we found out that they were his! My  friends and I think his shoes were ugly because they looked really old and dirty. In my opinion they looked like they were thrown in mud.

Did you know Michel Jordan played for the Chicago bulls?
He was the best player of the team. He used to be able to dunk from the 3 throw line, that is a very far throw and dunk. He retired in 2003.

One day I hope to be like Michel Jordan.Michael Jordan's signature Air Jordan shoes from 1985 are going up ...

Ancient Egypt

This Week we are learning about Ancient Egypt. To work out our topic we were given a set of tasks  to complete.
We had 3 small puzzles to complete, a word scramble and maths equations and after we get the equations right we got given a letter. After we got given our letters we had to see what the letters spelt out. After Isy, Hannah and I figured it out it spelt "Ancient Egypt". This took us all morning and half of the second block to complete.
This was a fun activity to do and hope to do it again.

Current events

Air New Zealand has been celebrating for 80 Years! Did you know that? So I am going to tell you a little about Air New Zealand.
Who: Air New Zealand
Where: New Zealand. Their main hub is Auckland.
When: They celebrated on April 30th 2020, for 80 years.
Why: Chief Marketing and Customer Officer Mike Tod says the 80th anniversary birthday is a time to reflect on milestones and thank New Zealanders for their continued support of the airline.
I think that this was really interesting, I didn't even know that Air New Zealand had been flying for that long.

My Autumn writing

This week Totara 3 got given a task to do about Autumn, We had to start with a plan about objects and other stuff that have to do with Autumn. Once Mrs Prendergast had checked it off we had to write our story. Then when she has seen it we had to post it our blog. So here is mine.

I look around up and down and I can see a beautiful blue sky, with white
clouds. In the distance light grey clouds are rushing through the wind.
Mountains cover the beautiful sky on this warm sunny day, making a
silhouette on the road behind me.
The autumn trees shake their golden hair until there's nothing left.
The trees that reach up to the midday sky are like twisted hands.
Their trunks are rough like a crocodile’s spine.
Woosh! What is that I hear? I can hear the nice cool wind gushing through
the neighbourhood. As I am walking around the back yard I can see and feel
the leaves flying everywhere and up the back of my legs. The wind is so
powerful that the clothes on the line are flying all over the place.
I can see green, brown, red, gold and yellow leaves all over the grass like a
multicoloured disco floor. As I take a step on the grass CRACK!
I hear the leaves crackle on the bottom of my shoes.
