My Tartan 

For the past week and a half we have been making a Tartan. We had to search up on google our surname then Tartan. We then got a picture up and whatever the base color was and got a piece of paper. After getting the piece of paper we ruled out some lines on the paper 1 cm apart and cut it. We got some colored strips of paper and weaved them into the base color. When we were done weaving we put pva glue all over the paper to stick the strips down. We did the same on the back but added a piece of paper. After the gluing we picked a boarder color and glued them down to the sided of the paper. Here are some photos.

Diary Entry:

Character: Max Hartlieb

Today me and Esther (my wife) have come to Venice to see if we can find Prosper and Bo. We have found a detective so hopefully he can find them. His name Is Victor Getz. We were sitting in his office and Esther was telling him about Prosper and Bo, she gave him a picture. I just hope that he will do the job right. He said that he had never had a case like this, he said that he’s only had some like looking for lost dogs, suitcases etc. He said we were the first clients to come in about some lost children. We have had Bo in our care ever since his mother died 3 months ago, we didn’t take on Prosper. Prosper was very upset about us “stealing” his brother away from him. We have a bit of hope in Victor to find Prosper and Bo. They have been gone for 8 weeks now. Victor had been asking us some questions about our childhood like if we had ever ran away before. I just shook my head no. Victor took on the case. After the interview we left and went back to our hotel.

  Room 21 Fitness 

On Monday we (my class) did some fitness activity's. We did for about an hour or so. Miss McCombie set up these activity's for us. We did an accuracy activity were we had 3 tennis balls and we were in a group, we had to roll the tennis ball and try to get it into the hoop. For our other activity we also had to be in a group, we did a speed activity were we had four cones set out and had one tennis ball. For this activity the people in the group with the ball had to run and place the tennis ball onto the cone then run back, then when all the tennis balls are on the cones the other people in the group have to run and grab the tennis ball from the cone and run back, the first team to get all tennis balls back win. For the accuracy activity I was in a team with Zara, Tiare, Damon, Laykon, and Dean. For the other one my group was Leandri, Zara, Damon, Ritchie, and Bradley. The games took 30 minutes each. Here are some photos from Monday.

Room 21 Planting Trees 

On Monday room 21 got the chance to plant some fruit trees. We planted 4 plum tress, 4 pear trees, 4 apple trees, and 2 fejioa trees. We had help by Mary from Orchards in schools. We used wood and rope to help stand the trees up properly. We did this from after morning tea (11:30) when we finished eating to the end of the day (3:00). In the middle of it we got a bit of a break and then we ate and go straight back into work. We learnt how to use a shovel properly. To use a shovel properly we had to slide one of our hands down to the bottom of the shovel and the other hand at the top of the shovel. We got put into groups, I was in a group with Leandri, and Summer.
