Hello readers for the last couple of weeks we have been doing classes and this week we had a reliever we were good but some of us were being silly. And we had to do reflection time there were 4 questions we had to do. The classes that I like are business and health I show commitment in both of them I get my work done and I show all of the CARR values. We have also been doing arts kete our project is pick up sticks were right now we are colouring in the sticks. When the reliever was here I was good I helped him with the roll but I was also talking to my friends when he was talking. My goal for the last week of school is to try and stay off all of the cards. These are our CARR values Respect, Resilience, Commitment, Achievement.

Eye Dissection
Hello readers for the last couple if weeks we have been learning about sound waves but yesterday we dissected a cow eye we watched a video and then we dissected the eye after a while I left because I hated the smell. I enjoyed the dissection but at the same time I didn't because it stunk. It was interesting because when we cut inside of it black ink came out. I was surprised to see people doing the dissection because it was yuck. I learned how to cut inside of a cows eye.

Cay
Would it be hard to live on a small island? I think it would because then you would have to make your own tools to go hunting and get food and water. But there are people who are good at that but all you can hear is the waves and the small island with trees. You might even try and walk around and find creatures.
