Why do we blog

Blogging is a great tool to use because we can learn how to share our work with the world! If you have just written it in a book then who would read it apart from you and the teacher and maybe our parent if we ever take our book home?
Also if you have your own blog you can learn how to use the computer in a different way, like instead of just searching for things we can learn how to make links like this: www.teamroom8.blogspot.com
we love managing our own blogs because they don't only have to be boring and all just words they can be fun and we can learn how to add lots of little gadgets like fish and a shark and lots and lots more!

Young Leaders

On Monday 30th at  6:00 am, the year 6's from Myross Bush School went to Dunedin for a Young Leaders Conference. A lady named Alice, and Charlie off What Now were hosting it. We had five speakers they were Pat Buckley, Alison Shanks, Adam Hall, Dave Axktion and Alison Mooney. My favourite speaker was Dave Axktion. He was very funny, he told us something that happened to him when he was skiing. It was that he was never that good at skiing and his friends were really good. So one day he thought that he would try a jump it was 20 feet long. He did that and it was fine and then he thought oh that was easy so he tried a 40 feet one. He went really high and when he landed he landed on his bottom and he pooed his pants! He was also a very good speaker and his main point was "You make your own descions nobody else does". I also enjoyed all the other speakers.

After the conference we went to the art gallery and we went with an art teacher, he taught us how to make a dye and pastel art piece that represents who we are. We had to choose 5 symbols that suit us best, we had to draw each of them bigger than our hand. After we had drawn them in pencil we had to go over the pencil lines in indian ink, then we got it dried. Then went round the edge of the indian ink with yellow dye. We did the background in a dye of our choice then we coloured in the objects with either dye or pastel. At last we were done!

After that we went to the muesum and we went into Discovery World. That is where we were staying the night. We had pizza hut pizza for tea and after a while we went to bed.

The next morning we had to wake up at 7:00. For breakfast we got to choose out of rice bubbles or cornflakes, I choose rice bubbles. After breakfast we went to the butterflies, they were beautiful. Then we went on a scavenger hunt around the WHOLE muesum. then we went to the Tangata Whenua gallery and learnt about carvings and stuff like that. Then we went to the swimming pool and we had lunch at the pool we got a cool change orange juice, an apple or orange and a roll with either roast beef, chicken or ham I choose roast beef after lunch we headed home.

Now I would like to become a strong leader!

    Sounds like you had a fantastic time Ruby. I can't wait to see the art that you created. I'm sure you will be a strong leader throughout your life.
