In Br Wananga we have been doing posters about ourselves. Mine is pretty basic. Anyways, here it is.
I am a Year 7 student in the Uru Mānuka Cluster. This is a place where I will share my learning. Please note that some of it will not be complete, it will be my first drafts. Remember to be positive, thoughtful and helpful when you leave me a comment.

sports heroes!
Yesterday we made a google doc about sports heroes. We had to state who our hero was (obviously) and why they were our hero. I picked Joey Logano, who drives a NASCAR (American stock car).
The link you see in the doc to the daytona 500 is here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TQs6az5p4n8The Steam Powered CAR

ELECTRIC GUITAR FACTS! wait, they can kill you?
Today and yesterday in hurumanu 2 we have been researching guitars. I chose to research about the electric guitar.
WANANGA CLASS DISPLAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
In Br wananga we have our own class display of a tree with all our custom leaves we drew on it. It signifies all our personalities, and we all worked on it together.
It includes all the leaves we drew, a few Riroriro birds for our Kahui, and a few drawn and coloured branches as well as a coloured trunk.
My role in the tree was making some leaves to stick on it, and I am pretty happy with how it looks.
I enjoyed being able to be myself and be creative while drawing the leaves. I also liked how we did it all together. #WeAreHornby #WeStandAsOne
