Mystery Blogger
Wouldn't it be cool to have a mystery blogger contribute to our blog. They would share something about themselves or something that they think we would find interesting.
We really want to make our blog the place you visit every day to get the latest of what's happening in 7 Wonders.
What do you think 7 Wonders? How could we get this started?
Please comment.

Today we learnt about looking closely at the suffix of a word
A suffix is the name that describes the spelling at the end of a word. Eg. er= longer, shorter, higher etc.
We found it hard to think of words that had the same suffix as the words we were learning for www
so we Googled this.
It was pretty cool to see that lots of words use the same sound. We think that if we learn the sound and how to spell it, we will be much better spellers.
Mya's example:
I can spell pictures but I'm not sure of creatures. What can I do?
I know that they have the same sound at the end, so I can try using the same spelling.
What words do you know that you can use when you are a little stuck?

What rocks their world?
The tide? What happens when it comes in? goes out?
Predator or Prey? who's who?
How do we influence the rocky shore?

Using google Maps for HOHL
From Richard
Wellington to picton
Picton in the
south island was our family holiday location.
We drove to Wellington ferry terminal
and that took us…
13 minutes. However
Not as long as it would take us if we had walked (not carrying any gear) = 3
hours and 40 minutes. Then we left windy Wellington
and sailed to picton. It took us 3 hours and 11 minutes. So in total it took us
3 hours and 24 minutes.

Hands on Home Learning - wk 6
Use Google Maps to find out how far it is to your favourite holiday location. ( real or pretend)
To go in the "ipad for a day" draw you need to:
- Send in an image proving that you used google maps to find your information.
- With the image provide an explanation about how you would get to your location if you went in a car, walked or caught the bus.
- Put you name in the draw by adding a comment to this blog telling us that you are in!:)
Cooks Beach in the Coromandel was our family holiday location. We drove via New Plymouth so it took us...
4 hours and 52 minutes to get to New Plymouth (that's without stops so you can imagine it took longer than that)
However not as long as if we had walked ( not carrying our camping gear)=2 days and 23 hours !!!!
Then we left the lovely New Plymouth and traveled to to Cooks beach. It took us 5 hours and 11 minutes
So in total 9 hours and 63 minutes!!! Driving that is. Is that correct? What should it be?
