Today in Wānanga we have started something new. The teacher showed us a slide show that we have to work on. One of the task on the slide show was create a poster about Adrenalin Forest. The task said that we have to tell you what you can do there. There is lots of things you can do there. One of the things you can do is climb and walk very high above the ground. Here is the poster.
I am a student at in Uru Mānuka. In 2020 I was a year 7 and in 2021 I will be a year 8. This is a place where I will be able to share my learning with you. Please note....some work won't be edited - just my first drafts, so there may be some surface errors. I would love your feedback, comments, thoughts and ideas.

Playing To Win Fast Finish Task - Kahoot
Today in reading Playing to win group got to finish reading there book. After we finished reading we had to do fast finish task. One of the task was to make a kahoot about the book so I choose that one because it looked fun to make and it would be cool to make something that not most people make. I got to make the kahoot with a partner. My partner to help make the kahoot was my friend Shanaya. The kahoot has 22 questions. Me and Shanaya tried to make the kahoot long because it was a good book and there was lots of things going on.

Playing To WIn - Fleur Beale
Today in reading since we don't have our discussion questions today and we didn't read anything there wasn't much to do. Since we didn't have much to do we moved onto fast finisher tasks. The fast finisher task that I am doing is getting some information on the author of our story. The author's name is Fleur Beale. She is not just an author she also used to be a teacher. The school she used to teach at was Canterbury University. She went to was Victoria University and Christchurch Teachers College to study. I don't think that this helped her a bit to write a novel but her family inspired her to keep on writing. Fleur Beale mother was also a writer. Fleur Beale published playing to win in 1999 and it came out to New Zealand in 2006. Her most popular book is "I am not Esther".
Speech Writing - Why Girls Should Be Allowed To Play Rugby When There Older Then 13
Do you ever get tired of not being allowed to play rugby? I do very much. Hi there, my name is Carla and I am here to tell you why girls should be allowed to play rugby.
Why should girls be allowed to play rugby? I think girls should be allowed to play rugby because it makes girls stronger and it makes girls more brave. Girls should be allowed to play rugby because it gives girls a chance for them to not be what their parents want them to be. There’s a stereotype for girls that want to play “boy sports” and their parents don’t support it. Most of the time girls don’t play rugby because they think boys will be mean and judge them about it. I know lots of girls that like rugby and want to play but they don't want to because they think they will get judged.
Not many clubs offer girls rugby teams. When you are 13 and younger you can play mixed teams. When girls in the country are older than 13 we are not allowed to play rugby until we are 18 and women’s teams are offered. When girls are older than 13 we have to go into town and play but sometimes in town it can be expensive. How do you think Emily Valentine became popular? Emily Valentine became popular because she played rugby. She was the first girl to ever play rugby in history that's how she became popular.
For me it is good to play rugby because it makes me less of a girly girl and it makes me have more confidence with what I want to be. Girly girls can still play rugby even though they like pink or they like dresses. It doesn't matter if we play rugby.
Did you know the Black Ferns are better than the All Blacks? It is very true I tell you, if you don't believe me go and search. Rugby makes girls have more questions. Girls can be the man. When girls remember who they are the game changes. That's why I think girls should be allowed to play rugby no matter what their age.

100 Word Challenge - Bubble
Today since our teacher was away we have a simple day. Our task was to do the 100 word challenge.Our teacher put this on the slide to tell us what to write about: You have stumbled upon a life-size magic bubble which will allow you to float to any place in the world and remain safe and healthy. Where would you want to visit? I haven't had much expires with bubbles so I made up a story and a fan fiction I read. I got other the 100 words. Here is my work.
One day I was walking along a road. Soon I stumbled across a lake. The lake was crystal clear and sawing smother. There were a lot of cars passing by. Soon there were too many cars and it got very windy. Soon enough I fell into the lake but when I fell into it… I GOT TELEPORTED. I got teleported into a different world. This plant is amazing. I want to stay here forever. This plant had animals that could talk and the people have powers. I started to walk to see if anyone was here. Soon I stumbled across a person. The person got scared and put me inside a bubble. The bubble started to fly away but not too far.
