This week for chapter chat I did 10 facts about gorillas! My title is, go go go go gorilla! I have three big facts in boxes and then little colourful clouds with small facts in them! Then in the middle, a have a circle with a drawing of a gorilla in it! And a really cool thing is that it opens up and there is this bit of just random writing about gorillas! IT was super fun doing this karawe chapter chat task!

Year 6 bike ride
Yesterday I went on the year 6 bike ride! First, we just went through this frame bit then we went into the bush after that there was this really long tunnel that we went through and then we went to see a waterfall. We bike a tiny bit more then we hade lunch at a place with this old building with these things hanging from the roof. We ate a little then explored, we went to these old cart things and up the stairs, then we did some more biking but we got to a really narrow part that we had to walk our bikes for a little while after we rode all the way back to the cars got in and went to Mc Donalds! I got a frozen coke and a caramel Mc dip! I went in a car with Lily and Teana! It was super fun!

Chapter Chat, Geurtude!
This week I did the chapter chat task of drawing Gurtude the gorilla with flying goggles on! I think I did a SUPERNOVA because I drew Gurtude with the goggles and I made a title then I put three little drawings of Erik, Sid, and Grandma! I also put some facts about gorillas on for Gurtude! I made the drawing look like a photo because I drew a frame around the drawing! I drew a little plane because she is wearing flying goggles! I found it super fun and I can't wait till next weeks and I hope they save Gurtude in the book!

Case Closed!!!
This term Whetu had a crime scene! So we based some of our learning around the crime scene to try and solve it! Today we finally made the person confess! We had our two last suspects in to ask some questions about the crime scene! All the evidence pointed to Mrs Taaffe! Some of the evidence was she went to school on the day of the crime scene, she had fingerprints all over the scene, and she had her hair cut and coloured after she went to school! The things she stole were the HDMI cable thing and some milky way chocolates! She needed the HDMI thing because she had been having trouble chrome casting and she saw the chocolates and she took some! She did it on Sunday or Saturday the 10th or 11th! So that is how we solved are crime and got are badges! It was fun!

Chapter Chat!
This is probably my favourite chapter chat I have ever done! I really enjoyed making my animal cage but then I thought I could make it better so I thought I could add a tiny ice cream stand and some people and the little signs like zoos have! I even made a kid holding an ice cream! The only mistake I made was that I made the meerkats bigger than the people but that is ok! I really liked doing this and I thought it was so fun and can't wait till next chapter chat!

Letter of the week, E!
This week for letter of the week the letter was e! I found e hard on some questions and easy on others! It was a fun letter because I had to think about some of the things I wrote down and some of the other I could just write down but then some I had to search up! Some people say it is too early for Christmas but I don't think so! I can't wait till next weeks and it was super fun like always!
Think like a detective, codes 4 and 5!
I just finished codes four nd five so now I can get my coding badge! I have done all codes, code 1, code 2, code 3, code 4, and code 5! Code four says great job and code five says you are now a master coder! The hardest one was code 2 but after a got it it was easy! I found this super fun to do and hope to do more sometime!
