100 WC

Please read Cameron's 100WC below. Top one in 8GMc this week!

“Just to throw it out there, Lucy, as well as millions of people need to go to school, not just want to, need to. The only way we can stop mass amounts of poverty and begging on the streets is if we send these children to school, no “ifs" no “buts”. We have to stop all those children suffering and set things right. We can decrease poverty dramatically by giving all disabled kids the education they need for a free healthy life. Wouldn't you want the same if you in poverty and disabled? Lucy absolutely deserves to go to school."

Tree Goodbye

After 140 years the largest Silky Oak tree in New Zealand will be coming down. Unfortunately it is diseased and is not safe. The Oval won't be the same on Monday.

News Report

Use these tips below to help you write a news report. You will be watching some of the fixture and then writing a piece for your blog or the class blog. Take an ipod with you, snap a picture - this will add interest for your story. Ask some questions and get some quotes - these can also be included. How are you going to plan? That is up to you. But remember I should be able to see evidence of planning. You might use a thinking map, a planner we have already used, or find a new one. It is up to you!

Once you have published your report and it is on your blog put a link to it in the comment section below. That makes it easier for us to enjoy your report without having to go searching for it. If not finished in class time - complete for homework.

Week #31 100 WC



We were just at home, doing nothing. Then we heard screams of terror, The ones that say…… We’re gonna die!  Me and dad jumped onto our feet, with him pushing me to the door, I dove, spun around and saw a pile of my house.

I later found out that he was badly injured. But it was strange, a Giant bee hit our house!

There were news reporters and crime scene investigators rushing in wearing protective gear. I asked one man, may I find out how a bee that size got here? No! He growled. But that didn't stop me!
