end of term reflection (WHICH MEANS THE HOLIDAYS ARE COMING!!!!!)

Choosing my own topic for the Inquiry Investigation was cool because it meant I could choose something that interested me and not just something random that I had no connection or interest in. So that was cool.
The presentation tool that I used for that unit was Glogster, a web 2.0 tool. I didn't have enough time to try out any other tools because they took too long to load, but I would have liked to look at some others. I chose Glogster because it's quite easy to add sound and pictures onto the screen and you can rearrange things to where you put them by clicking and dragging.
Seeing other people's work has brought me to understand how different everybody sees the same thing and what they make it into was really interesting.
Doing my reasearch was fun and I learned a lot about my topic. Unfortunately I couldn't use Google Wonderwheel as we didn't have it installed on our computer and dad wasn't sure about downloading it :(.

Creativity has been wonderful!! I love art and things like that and so this unit is really cool!! The montages that everyone has been doing have been amazing and it was really fun to make it :). I've enjoyed the different pictures and images that people have put in their montages and how they interpretate creativity. Nothing has been too difficult so far :)

Haha I'm not new!! :P What new learning environment? First I've heard of it.

I read feedback almost immediately, although replying it sometimes takes a little while... I do read other's work and learn from them - like how long to make the report sometimes!!!


Ok wow that was long!! :P

Holidays here I come!! :)

Another new baby goat!! I think I had a heart attack when this one was born because we had to pull it out. He was born at 10:30am today exactly and he's a boy and he's called Asha. When he was born he was in the wrong postion and so instead of his head coming out first his front feet tried to so I had to go get dad to help. Thats when I had the heart attack, running to get dad so the baby wouldn't die. After he came we repositioned it and pulled it out. It was also pouring and flooding so the baby took a while to stand up but it's all good now!! :-) heres a pic... Rem :-)
(sorry if I went into details there but I'm using this as my journal also so I can remember when the baby goats were born. :-)

NEW BABY GOAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Snow had her baby!!!!!!!!
sorry that this post is so short but I want to go see him again now. He was born yesterday and I named him Buckminster because he's really cheeky! :-) My pig Strawberry likes him and treats him like her nephew. :-)

Here's a pic!

Term reflection!!!!!!!! - HOLIDAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :-)

This term was Enterprise and I learned alot on how to create my own business which was cool, and how to advertise it. I think this was a good subject because it was interesting and will be usefull in later life when we start our own businesses. It was quite a long topic but it was sort of fun.
I wish the holidays came sooner though because when it's term time the days drag by but when it's holidays the days go whizzing past in a flash of light and you can't grab it fast enough so the term starts again!

Altogether I think that it was an interesting topic and I wonder what next term will be!

Mud glorious mud!

Me and my bro went into the swamp yesterday and played in the mud there (with wetsuits on)! It was awesome because you can make a hole into the mud and half bury someone in there! But then of course they get stuck and you have to get them out! Then my piglet/half grown pig Strawberry came and we hid from her (by burying ourselves with mud) which didn’t work at all and just made us completely covered with mud! Then we um, face painted ourselves with mud and then went swimming in a pond that dad dug a hole in so we had clay for the pizza oven, which makes it really shallow on the sides, and really, really deep in the middle! But by then it was getting dark so we left and swam in the sea to wash some of the mud off (didn’t work) and when we got home we were still covered with mud and we somehow spread mud everywhere – on the doors, curtains, floor, walls, towels – luckily dad’s not here otherwise he’d have a fit! Anyway that was fun and I would DEFINITELY do it again!!!
Here's a photo of me covered in mud, it's not very good because it was dark though!

guinea pig hutch

Hi Guys!

Sorry I haven't been writing in my blog for a few days (weeks) but I've had nothing to put in it! So I decided that I would write anyway.

Guinea pig hutch: me and my dad are making a guinea pig hutch! Our old one that Vamp and her babies are in is falling apart! First dad told me to get a piece of paper and draw to scale a 1200 by 2400mm (millimetre) and find out how to arrange pieces of a guinea pig hutch onto it. I did that and now we are going to make it! We have to make it tonight because he is going to drive his boat to Wellington tomorrow and we won’t have enough time then.

Sorry but I have to go because it is really cold here and my fingers are too stiff and numb to write any more!
