In Current Events I covered these topics:
- The design of the Halswell Skate Park and I made a submission to the council.
- Donald Trump’s Refugee Plan
- Christchurch Earth Memorial
- The new Ngā Puna Wai Sports Facility
- The Red Zone and Avon River Regeneration Plan with a submission to the council.
My favorite topic was...The red zone regeneration plan because…it was fun reading and learning about it.

The Reading National Standards I have achieved are
- Year 7 and 8
- Identifying and resolving issues that come from competing information in texts
gathering, evaluating, and synthesising information across a small range of texts - I can use appropriate skills and technologies to find and use a range of texts for specific purposes.
Term 1 Novel Study
Term 1 Novel Study
This term I have been reading and studying the novel …Abandon Ship
I found this novel (interesting) because…I like reading about events that have happen in the past and I like reading books that have a good tittle.
During the novel I had to complete two major assessment tasks. The first is an Explain Map which shows the consequences of a major event in the book. The second was a Describe++ Map (Inference map) which shows I how I have connected prior knowledge and other experiences to what I have been reading to make an inference.

National Standard this covers
- Year 7/8 Standard
- using several pieces of information to make inferences
using their prior knowledge, along with information in the text, to interpret abstract ideas, complex plots, and sophisticated themes - I can use a range of strategies, such as inferring, to work out more complex words.
