Literacy Wizard

I've have been doing some book club in school. The task I have been selected to do is the literacy wizard. What you have to do for the literacy wizard is read the book choose a page and paragraph, right down your reason of selection and then recommend someone that you think should read it. This is my literacy wizard.

Location	Reason for selection	Plan for Reading
Page 45 Paragraph.4	I select this page because I used to live in the biggest city in Australia and I've got bitten by a spider before.	I recommend Cooper to read it because he is Australian and he likes spider’s.
Page 46 Paragraph 3	I select this page because I’ve always wanted to go in a hot air balloon.	I recommend Heath to read it because he has been in a hot air balloon before and he can relate to it.
Page 51 Paragraph 4	I select this page because I like playing golf and have been to a golf course in Sydney before.	I recommend my Grandpa to read this because he have been playing golf all of his life.

Waitotara Valley

When you first arrive at Waitotara Valley you think it looks boring and ugly but when you go up the hill on our property you get amazed by the beautiful water fall view, the smell of Manuka bush rushing through your nostrils.  Bees Buzzing away, trying to find the best spot to find the most pollen. You can hear a gentle Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz the whole day long.

Goats

Goats are one of the animals that we have the most of on our property. We have all different kinds of coloured goats such as grey, white, black, brown and ginger. When you go up the hill you always get a whiff of the disgusting smell of billy goats. Nanny goats don’t smell  the same as billy goats.  When you are in proper Camo gear and you move very slowly, the goats won’t see you coming.  The  closest I have gotten to a goat without it seeing me, WITHOUT my Camo Gear on, is 3 meters.

Hunting

On a cold winters morning you wake up freezing. You get your hunting clothes on and get into the ranger desperate to get an animal.  Washing away icicles on the windscreen of the Ranger, because it was 0 Degrees overnight.   

Work Site

When you come into the Waitotara Valley you see a big working site with working tools scattered everywhere.  Tradesman and excavators ruling the property in the day time.

Swim

Looking forward to the swimming hole dad is busy digging us were the Buffalo used to wallow. Fresh mountain water meanders down the creek through the most beautiful secluded spots where there are tree ferns everywhere you look, the only sound you can hear is the treacling of water.

Maths

Me and my friend Callum got 3 medals on IXL. We worked very hard for it. IXL is an online maths website that you can learn new strategies on. You only  have a limited  amount of tasks that you can do.

This is some Writing that I have been doing over the past couple of days

Hot Water Beach

Its been a long, boring trip to the Hot water beach but when I hear the bustling crowd I get excited. Hot sand, baking in the sun and the cold ocean water-and only a shovel can bring these two together.

Swim

Splashing in the the hot water hole I dug then taking a dip in the cold ocean water.

Rock

The heated rock  heating up the water. playing hide'n go seek  between the giant rocks.

Dig

Families desperate to find a spot to dig a hole. As soon as you dig, hot water rises from below. Then it is time to play or relax and soak.

Picnic

Having a picnic in the shade, eating KFC Spicy chicken wings and drinking refreshing water. The best this after spending a hot day,  swimming in the sun is wresting in the shade on a comfy picnic blanket.
