Writing

Two weeks ago I made an acrostic poem and it was about Reuse, Reduce, Recycle. I had used onomatopoeia and alliteration and it was cool because I have never made one before. I like making acrostic poem. Next time I am going to work on metaphors.

Maths Goals

Last week in Te Ngahere we made our maths goals google drawing. First we did our IKAN sheet and picked three Goals. We had to chose three Goals from the IKAN because we did not know all of them. The ones that I picked were very hard. We were learning to identify our next learning goals in maths.

NZ BUSH

NZ Bush

Did you know that NZ Native trees are getting killed by possums and other stuff?. Did you know that māori ancestors believed that spirits and gods lived in the bush.

Did you know that in 1800 Europeans came and brang:  Dogs,Cats,Stoats and Weasel that killed of the native birds. And: Possum, Deers, Goats and Pigs destroyed the forest.

The early Māori burnt some of the forest to provide fernlands and land for cultivation. They introduced the Rat and the Dog which were predators.

Many birds were excited or could only survive in the deep forest or on remote island.

Other like: Kiwi, Kokako, Kaka and Kereru are threatened with extinction today. Unless we put time and effort into making sure they survive.

A few weeks ago  Te Ngahere we made a report. I learnt how to use proper nouns and common nouns. I learnt how to use paragraphs and to use topic sentences. We had to write more than two reports.

Writing

Last week Te Ngahere’s  Walt was to use Common nouns and Proper nouns. We had to work with a buddy. We had made a Report and then we made a google drawing. On one side we had to write about Common nouns and on the other side we had to write Proper nouns. I worked with Kingi

Reading goals

Last week Te Ngahere created a google drawing with our reading goals on it. The Walt was to identify our next reading goals. We had to get our learning goals from the progression sheet.    

Maths Goals

Last week Te Ngahere made a google drawing of our maths goals.

We  had to copy our goals off our Ikan sheet because we had to learn them. Our Walt is Identify our own learning goals.

Goals

Last week Te Ngahere made a google drawing for our writing goals. We had to go on rubric and choose our next learning steps. I think that setting goals will help me with my writing

Matariki Art

Last Term Te Ngahere and Te Maunga drew Kowhaiwhai and Koru they were cool as. I drawn a Kowhaiwhai. We had to drew them about our Family and Whanau. My background is green that is my favorite color. We did it for Matariki It was cool .

Last week on Thursday we went to matariki and we had a shared lunch . When we were there most of the kids were at the beach I wasn’t. There was heaps of food. We were only allowed 2 because there were more people that wanted more.

Last week one Thursday we went to the Treaty Grounds. When we were there we had to plant some plants and I had to carry all the gardening tools. Then we had to make manu aute for weaving. There were games, my favorite was when you had wrapped a cloth around your head and then you had to shake the paua and try and trick them and tag them.

Last week we were drawing Fidget Spinners and we had different ones. I had a sharp one and it was really cool. Te Maunga came and drawed some Fidget Spinners too and I really liked my sisters one.

Making Ice Cream

Last Friday Te Ngahere made ice cream because we had finished our learning plan and if we got all of the learning plans done we got to make ice cream. When we made ice cream we had to put cream in the bag and then put two tablespoons of sugar in the bag of cream. Then we got a bigger bag and we put ice in it and then we but six teaspoons of salt in the big bag and then we put the little bag in the big bag. Then we went outside and we had to shake and shake the bags until they were cold enough. Then Brodi and Alexis put the ice cream in the freezer. Then we had to wait for them to be cold and then we open them and we ate the ice cream. Last week we made a recount my goals were to use alliteration metaphors and similes.

 On Friday Te Ngahere made Ice Cream We made ice cream because we finish our learning plans. When we made ice cream I was working with darris and we used plastic bags. And we put cream and sugar in them and we got a big plastic bag and we put ice in them and then put the salt in. Then we went to shake them outside and we had to shake an shake them until they frozen. Then Brodi and Alexis put them in the freezer to make them into ice cream. And when they were cold enough we got to eat them and when we ate the ice cream it was salty and it was like sand and it was spreading everywhere on me.

My writing goals are to know how to use commas ,full stops and speech marks. I am really good at using full stops. I need to learn more about speech marks. I still need more practice on commas .
