Gaming Reviews

This week in writing we are learning how to write effective reviews using many of the writing skills learnt over the first two terms. Many of us are choosing to write gaming reviews while the rest of us are writing book reviews.

We hope to make a Gaming and Book review website complete with Q-R Codes! Watch this space...

Here is the template we have used which is taken from a great book called "The Writing Book" by Sheena Cameron and Louise Dempsey.

As part of our W.I.T. Studies some of us have been learning about how to stay safe in natural disasters such as volcanic eruptions, tornadoes, earthquakes and tsunamis. Kevin Archer from the Taranaki Regional Council came and talked how what these are, how to prepare and how to stay safe. I learnt that there is a 83% chance of Mt Taranaki erupting in the next 50 years. There is a 3% chance of erupting in the next year. Many of us put our note taking skills to use by making notes as he spoke.
