Hey, this is our presentation on Adam Gidwitz’s visit to our school. First let’s start with talking about who this amazing author is. Adam GIdwitz is an accomplished author and writer of A Tale Dark and Grimm series, he also just released a new book called Max in the House of Spies which he gave us a quick overview of. He has received a Newbery Honor for his other book called The Inquisitor’s Tale.

At our school Adam Gidwitz also talked about how he never envisioned himself as an author although all his life he had a big imagination. With that he told us to be open minded and never think that just because you want to grow up to be one thing sometimes you may have talents that better suit something else. He told us stories about his early childhood and he talked about how his book Max in the House of Spies was based on a family friend.

And here are the photos of the presentation:

As usual I worked with Callan Durack

Here is my experience of a tree planting trip I did with my school called Keep Durham Beautiful. Here are a couple of pictures from the trip.

In the second photo we planted Sycamore trees, Poplars and Red Seeder. We also watched a documentary that talked about listening to the trees and how water flows through the trees. It also talked about how protecting trees is very beneficial to us humans directly and over time. Overall this field trip was very educational and gave me a great feeling that I helped something good.
