Samara's Visit

Last Friday, Samara Nicholas visited the senior syndicate and showed us her presentation on her recent trip to The Kermadecs with the NZ Navy.

Samara accompanied a group of young people who were chosen as part of the Sir Peter Blake trust.
They enjoyed diving, snorkellng and observing the different marine life and biodiversity in the area.

We have been busy working on our "Action Projects" as part of our follow-up to the Reotahi Marine Reserve.

We found Samara's presentation interesting and informative.




We used Samara's presentation to help us recall our experiences and ideas from the Reotahi trip.
We're using these as a basis for our writing blast for term one: a Memoir or "Moment in Time" piece of writing. 
We worked together a a syndicate to write our initial plans, draft our first copy and also to discuss how to re-craft and edit our work to correct errors and to make it even more interesting for the reader.
