My Holidays

Something Awesome that happened in my holidays was on a Sunday my Mum and I went to Maunganui for a Lions Club 8km run. We started at 10:00 sharp, I was in the lead for at least the first 2km's but then marathon runners caught up sped the rest of the way. In the end, I ended up coming 5th overall.

Something Scary that happened during my holidays was when I went to a friend's birthday, we went sea biscuiting, and when my friend and I fell off there were stingrays underneath us.

Something Relaxing that happened during my holidays was when my Mum and I were watching a TV show on the couch for hours just us.

It's a New Term!

This new term is one of my favourite terms because we have athletics, prizegiving, camp, candle lighting and sailing. This going to be awesome!!

Who invented Hieroglyphics?

Who invented Hieroglyphics?


Hieroglyphics were first discovered when Napoleon’ troops made the discovery in 1799 of the Rosetta Stone, Napoleon's troops provided the critical information which allowed Jean-François Champollion, taking into account the work of other scholars, to discover the nature of the script by the 1820s.

The ancient Egyptians believed that writing was created by the god Thoth; and called their hieroglyphic script "mdju netjer" (words of the gods). The word hieroglyph comes from the Greek hieros (sacred) also glyph (inscriptions) was first used by Clement of Alexandria.

Hieroglyphics were created around 3000 B.C, so roughly about 5,000 years ago. Hieroglyphics are the oldest known language along with Greek and Sumerian archaic, Hieroglyphs can be read from left to right, right to left as well as from top to bottom. Kings and queens names are placed inside a cartouche. In the hieroglyphic writing system, vowels are usually not written. If multiple symbols are be placed on top of each other on the same line, you read the top symbol first.

Newspaper Article

Newspaper Article  

This week as part of our Literacy contract, we were given a task to write a newspaper article, including words that were written on the board (Grateful, bank, banknotes, disaster, helpers, honest, flurry, recovered). My group (Evan, Andrew) created a scene about a bank heist in 1869; it took a while to perfect, but in the end, it paid off. We created our own newspaper title (The Wild Weekly), we decided to go EXTRA and make the background like olden time paper.
