September Happenings 5





The History Fair! E11 and J13 entered into the Auckland Homeschoolers History Fair. The History of Chocolate and The Hobsonville Heritage Reserve Proposal were researched and collated and presented. It was amazing to see the variety of subjects and the originality of some of the entries. The boy next to J13's stand had chosen The History of the Screw as his subject!
E11, a great Exhibit: even an edible heading! You showed VERY good knowledge of the chocolate-making process and it's history. Well done and happy eating!
J13
Well researched and beautifully presented project. You are obviously passionate about your subject and 'out to make a difference'! Well done. You are well able to explain the background to the project. Excellent work.
Well deserved comments for all that hard work:-) E11, you did so well talking with people and especially the judges and I loved your chocolate painting! And the word search competition was a great idea. J13, it was fun searching the Sally Army shop for Crown Lynn pottery and watching you bring together all the info for the display. It was obvious to see that you are passionate about your subject by the way you engaged with the judge.
Roll on the 2009 AHS History Fair.......please just start now instead of a couple of weeks before the deadline!!!!!
