Reflection of GEG Summit

Sanford gave us a recount and reflection of our day at the GEG summit at Hobsonville Point Primary School.

Daffodil Day

On Friday we were collecting money for cancer and Daffodil day.  We went over just before basketball and put our money on the coin trail.  

Raukawa made us this pic collage to show off what we were doing.

V*I*E*W*S

Our goal at the beginning of the term was to have 10000 views by the end of Week 5.

It's Monday of Week 5 right now.....and we are currently at 9965!!  Sanford told me that means it's only 35 more views until we reach our goal.

I wonder if we'll get there by tonight??
