Winter means SNOW!

 

This week on Thursday we were learning to write about what we think you would feel during winter time.

First we had to pick what we were going to write about and our choices were,Rain,Wind,Snow.

Next we had to Write about what we smell at winter what we hear at winter,what we see,and what we would never forget and others.

I found it easy to find a cute snowy background for this piece of writing. I also found it easy to write about all the different thing that I smelt and that I hear and also what I see.

For this writing piece I found it hard to finish in time because today I had to finish this piece of writing.

Next time for this writing piece I need to manage my time right by not talking to the people next to me or by getting distracted by them.

My koru!

 

Today for our writing we were learning to write about a koru and learning to put verbs and adjectives in our quick write. We were also learning to describe about how the koru pops out or what it likes to do in our opinion.

I found it easy to find the background for yesterdays writing. I also found it easy to write about how the koru plays and how it pops up! It was also easy to fit as much writing facts about how the koru plays and hows it pops up.

I found it hard to find a colour that stands out and that you can see in my background like the colour white.

next time I think I need to spend less time on picking my background and less time on picking the colour for my words. Next time I also think I need to add some more verbs and adjectives.

What makes a good blog comment?

 

We were learning to recognise a quality blog comment and give reasons for our thinking.

 I found it easy to read the the different comments and know right away if they are good or bad blog comments.

I found it hard to make the comments on the side having to explain the reason why we choose it was good or bad. I also found it hard to get the arrows because they could not tilt to the side so i had to use and line instead of making the arrows tilt.

 We used whaiwhakaaro and Mahi tahi to explain my thinking to others, justify my thinking,and for mahi tahi we used do my fair share.

Next time I need to make more and better reasons for why I picked the comment to be a good one or a bad one.

Authors purpose.

 

We were learning about what an Authors purpose is and how to read about what the Author means in their story. Our learning assets were Kairangahau and kaiwhakarite.

I found it easy to read the story and answer all of the questions on our slides. 

Copyright Challenge

 

Road safety.

 

We were learning to create a road safety advertisement for road safety week. We were also learning to create media. We also learnt to use mahi tahi witch means to work well in a group of people even if they are not your friends.

I found it easy to think of easy and fun ideas for me and my group to video for our movie. I also found it easy to use our time good so we had lots of time to write about it.

Next time I need to video more and let the person who was videoing have a longer turn to be in the movie to.  

Reflecting on writing.

 

For our writing we have been writing Narratives. We have been learning to add a great hook in or opening line to our writing and to start our sentences in different ways.

This week we also had to have a smile and alliteration in our writing. This slide shows my hook in, sentence beginnings, simile and alliteration.

We are using our Kaiwhakarite/Self Manager learning asset by reflecting on our learning.
