Haiku, Survival Island and the Bey Blade challenge!

Over the past few weeks we have learnt how to write a Japanese Haiku and played the Survival Island game.
We had to play Survival Island in randomly chosen groups and we had to work together co-operatively to ' survive' for 5 days. Points were given each day for how we solved our problems and for our map and log book. Our last task was to create a newspaper article about our 'rescue and return to New Zealand'. The winning Island will be announced next week.

We learnt that a Haiku has 17 syllables, we wrote some about the Japanese Tsunami and Christchurch earthquake.

Brayden and Jack have been bringing their Bey Blades, they were spinning them in class one lunch time and Mr Noke said his old fashioned wooden spinning top could spin for longer. They had a challenge- best of 3. Mr Nokes top won 2 out of 3 !!!
