I am a Year 6/7 student at Edmund Hillary School in Auckland, NZ. I am in Room 9 and my teacher is Roya. This is a place where I will share my learning. Please note that some of it will not be complete, it will be my first draft. Remember to be positive, thoughtful and helpful when you leave me a comment.

Liam's Terrifying Dream
(Story Starter)
When he closed his eyes, drifted off to sleep, his real life began. Every night his dreams would take him on the greatest adventures. It was when he was asleep that he felt most alive…
“Look! Look down there!” His voice could just be heard above the sound of the airplane's engine and the shrieking wind in their ears. “Can you see it?”
For some reason, they weren’t falling from the wing of ‘NZW.’ It was like a simulation. They could see the whole country of New Zealand, including Lake Taupo and a whole bunch of cities! There were large, puffy, cotton- like clouds surrounding them, what could go wrong?
“Next stop, Land Jiggles!” said by an unknown, low toned voice. “Land Jiggles? Where’s that?” “You’ll see,” the strange voice replied.
After minutes of sight-seeing, Liam started to feel like they were about to slip off! “What? What’s going on?!” His heart stopped, as greyish clouds rushed past, Liam’s long, blonde hair started dancing like a Rockstar. The plane where they had just been sitting was getting smaller and smaller, while leaving his brother Gian behind!
Liam felt alarmed, but had nothing he could do! His stomach dropped, then came memorable flashbacks. But soon in his dream, Liam passed out. Off he went, falling in mid air.
Liam tossed and turned in his creaky bed while mumbling “Help!” He kept wiggling and jiggling, whimpering until finally, he felt like he landed on a soft, white marshmallow. “THUD!”
Suddenly, Liam woke up, all sweaty while in a weird position on the ground. It was 7:30 a.m. “Phew” he said feeling relieved, “It was only a dream.” As Liam slowly opened his bedroom door, he saw Gian, his older brother with his eyes all droopy.
Gian stared at Liam, looking like a zombie child. “LIAM! I just had the craziest dream ever! I was riding on the wing of a plane then accidentally fell off!” Liam was in disbelief, “WHAT?”
Liam gasped for air and sat straight up on his drooled bed. He felt all wobbly from all this fiddle. “Is this still part of my dream???”

A Little Kindness Goes a Long Way
This week, our class is learning about how we show kindness to people around us. For our task, we have to make a comic story about kindness. I also learnt that what comes around, goes around. So if you do good deeds, something good will happen to you too.
I used the websites: Story Board and Book Creator
Tu Meke Tuatara
Me and Neha's task is to research about how penguins get affected by environmental issues and how we can stop that from happening.
We learnt how to research as partners and work together. This was a bit difficult because we could only communicate online instead of talking in person. But in the end, we still managed to do that by only speaking in text, and in meetings!
I find this activity really enjoyable and fun!
