Last week on Friday the 26th of May,The year seven and eights from schools around New Zealand went to NYLD in the Vodafone events centre Auckland. NYLD stands for National Young Leaders Day,NYLD is a day for year 7&8's to go listen to leaders speak to you about being a good leader. There were over two and a half thousand other students at NYLD this year. My favourite speaker was Valintine because he was really funny. I can't wait till next year when we go again.

This New Zealand movie has collected 9.7 million in the seven weeks it has been showing.

Goal: I organise myself to be ready to learn. I know when I need to take a break from my learning. This week the goal has been helping me finish my learning because I have taken more brain breaks. When I take more brain breaks I feel fresh and when I feel fresh I complete my work easier . I do not focus when I don't have brain breaks.

What skills do I have that help me in writing? Imagination What can I offer to others in writing (Writing club or workshops) How to write a detailed narrative What do I think makes a good writer? Practice,Creativity and time What am I interested in writing about? Narratives and storytelling What is your biggest challenge or obstacle as a writer?Correct punctuation e.g. speech marks

So far in the book brian has been traveling to New York to see his dad,Because his parents divorced and so Brian stays with his mum in the school weeks and then goes to his dad's in the summer. Brian is traveling with a pilot that is in his mid-50’s Brian has had a turn at flying the plane because the pilot was in pain. After a little bit more flying Brian realizes that the pilot was having a heart attack the pilot’s skin goes cold he is dead. Brian starts controlling the plane until it runs out of fuel and he crash land into a lake shaped as a L. He throws up and screams as he's walking out of the lake wet and cold. And he had ripped cloths and was really scared.

GOAL: I organise myself to be ready to learn. I know when I need to take a break from my learning. To achieve this goal I am going to Go to sleep at eight thirty and set my alarm at ten to seven. Also I am going to have a bigger breakfast and have a mandarin on the way to school. During the day I am going to drink lots more water to keep me hydrated.

Goal: To choose the right learning space for the right learning. Blogging - The Lounge; AWS - The Lounge OR The Hub; IE creation - The Lab OR The Creator Maker Space; Reading - The Lounge; IE Summarising - The Lounge; Writing - The Lounge OR The Hub; Book Spine - The Lounge OR The Hub This week our goal was to do the right learning in the right learning space. This week the goal really helped me because I completed my work,This week I was sitting with my friends only a little bit. Next week I will try improve and not sit with my friends and next week I will get all my work done.

On May the 9th 2016 fireman Cory Kalanick saved a little grey kitten from a house fire. After the house firemen were checking the house then Cory found the dead kitten laying on the ground in front of him. Cory picked up the kitten and took it outside next to the fire truck and pulled out some gas and got a water bottle. And luckily the kitten came back to life.  

Looking at the picture and reading the back of the book,I think the plane gets hit by lightning and crash lands into the bush or the lake down below. All Brian has to survive is a HATCHET,Brian is a city boy and dosen't know anything about the wild. Brian has to learn to live the hard way or die, If I was Brian the first thing I would do is build a little hut and then make a bow and arrow with bamboo and string in the bush. I am really looking forward to reading this book because I have heard it will be a good book for me because I am into those kind of book's.

I do well on Choosing good places for me to work that suit my learning. This is good because it doesn't distracted other people while they are learning. I think I need to work on putting more effort into my work.
