We have been looking at the attributes of role models and evaluating our own qualities. This is a link to a "Multiple Intelligences" Quiz that we are using today to help us discover what our stengths are. Don't forget to record your "secret code" which you can use at any time to look again at your own results. Anybody can use this quiz! We would love to hear what type of intelligence is your strength so let us know by commenting below!
 
At morning tea, me and the rest of the class walked to the Ashburton River and we met a lady named Debbie Eddinton from ECAN. She helped us to find bugs in the water and measure the temperature and the clarity. But there was a suprise, a stick insect came out of nowhere! Then we saw room 15 coming. It was time to go. When we were walking back, me and Charlie made the big trucks hoot. After that we had lunch and went to play.

On Tuesday 26th March, room
fourteen and Laghmor Seniors went on a trip. We were going to Hakatere, it’s a
historical place. We had to be there at ten o’clock. We had to be at school by nine o’clock. It was a real rush.


Firstly we had to get on the bus. One hour later we were there. Then we had a break, it was morning tea. After morning tea two people talked to us, their names were Hillary and George. They split us up into three groups.
After that our group went to the Manager’s House. We went inside first. We looked around, there was nothing there that looks like our homes today. There was no garage or toilet.
Finally we moved on and started weaving. We weaved a square then platted a rope. Next we rotated and built rafts, they were made out of reeds, sticks, string and
paper.
After that George took us to the south branch of the Ashburton River and we identified insects in the water, and it was quite hard. After we left to Lake Heron to sail our boats. It was really cool and just about every boat floated, it was awesome. 
Everyone enjoyed the fabulous trip. But just about everyone liked floating their boats the most.
