Fathers Day

           
                               

This week we were asked to recreate our dads online or a special person in our life and why they were awesome and special.

This is kind of what my dad looks like but older and you can never see his eyes but in the picture I made you can (kinda). To me my dad is awesome because he is always there for me and my brother, he takes us to cool places like up town bounce ( up town bounce is a trampoline park) and something that I find really awesome is that he works near two trampoline parks! Me and my brother are his most favourite people in the world when we don't include the cat. And he loves us as much as we love him.

Daffodil Day

Today at our school it is Daffodil day, to celebrate Daffodil day we dressed up what we wanted to be when we were older and brought a 2$ coin to donate to the cancer foundation. I dressed up as an artist and my friend Ashling dressed up as archaeologist. 

We donated money to the cancer foundation so it can help find a cure to stop cancer.

Mischa's summarie

The funeral finished and everyone was saying there goodbyes, then Jason saw the strange people from before and they were making him freak out... a lot. When everyone was leaving and Jason's dad was paying the funeral bill he was wondering where everyone was going and saw everyone quickly entering the Driftwood Cafeteria. But when Mrs Keese was leaving Jason was surprised and asked what about the cemetery? Aren't you coming with us? To say good bye to Grandma? She held Jason's hand tightly and replied She's not here anymore and left.

When they where following the limo to the cemetery Jason's father was being moody about the car because he was upset. Jason had mixed feelings when they carried the coffin and when they buried the coffin. The trip home was silent, when Jason was home his dad had a few beers then went to bed, Jason called Hector for his daily hatred call about Florida then Jason went to bed.....the one his Grandmother had a stroke in. They were woken up early on Saturday morning from the dumpster truck. Jason started thinking about how much junk there was in the house, then wondered about how many free magazines his grandma had gotten.

They started to dump things that couldn't be sold and give other things to charity, at the end of the day (Jasons dad was on his last trip the the donation place) and Jason was tired but still curious, then he stared at the white box Mrs Keese had pulled out with the note (Very important papers) and started to pull out yellow folders/papers as he was starting to put the things back in the box he noticed a magazine, not the Time or Life magazine, It was called bizarre Mysteries and was dated October 1944 the images where of a man, woman and a crocodile on its back, its massive jaws hanging open loosely. And lots of strange this things he hadn't noticed before on the picture by someone named Emerson Beale, I suddenly looked at the the letters EB, I heard my dad coming in the drive way and ran to him yelling YOU HAVE TO SEE THIS!! He came in with groceries, so whats this?, what did you find he replied Is it weird grandma hid the important papers box! He held it and said wait I remember this the colours and that and that he tapped at the name I think she knew him ( the writer ) They sat together reading the magazine together and flipped through it some of the stories had monsters or ghosts and flipping through they could see that they were dark with murder and violence.

My Mural

                                                                                 

This is my Mural, it represents about how my Great Grandparents sailed from China to New Zealand. The bamboo and cherry blossom shows that my grandparents are from china and that everything is peaceful, the pandas and the buildings mean that my grandparents are moving out of home into the big city then the sea, boat, and New Zealand flag shows that they sailed on a boat all the way from China to New Zealand and finally the house next to the flag represents my family's home.

Group Endeavour Ignition - what are you curious about? ‘What we learn with pleasure we never forget!’

Today at school we are starting impact again in Marama, To start off the teachers put out different things on different tables then asked us to get some notes and write down some questions about what makes us curious at each table. The table I was most interested about was the food/spices table. Some of my questions where about why did bark smell like cinnamon? And Where does pepper corn come from? Next the teachers asked us to go to the table that we where most interested in, get a large piece of paper and sort out all the different categories in a group, And that was all for toady.

The Post Card

This week for Book Bash we have to read five chapters of the Postcard, then write a prediction about it.

I Think that Jason is going to look in the neighbours letterbox and find a Postcard that has something to do with his dead grandmother.

I also think that that Jason is going to meet a girl ( maybe apart of his family) and together they are going to find his/there grandfather. I think that because of the picture on the book.
