Rere RockSlide

 

In my writing class we have been working on creating our own piece of writing about our favourite place to be. Personally my favourite place to be is probably Morere Rockslide. Because there is a bombing spot and a huge rockslide, and also you will have lots of fun. It was extremely fun for me because I had seen some of my mates from school and It was excellent. It was a really great time seeing them I hope I could go there again sometime.

I really found my work easy because I could remember lots of what my friends and I had done on the day. I tried to add as much personification as I could and use the most descriptive words I could think of. Today I pushed myself and wrote down four paragraphs.

There were not many things I found challenging but only probably a few problems. I did kind of struggle with writing four paragraphs in the amount of time but I did it so maybe I can achieve that again the next writing session.

Next time maybe I can put more punctuation and descriptive words in my writing and more descriptive language. I am still learning to put more rich words and less lazy words. I will try and strive for better writing and a bigger improvement.

Today we have been learning about doing a Maori Kupu quiz. It is a quiz about maori words and see how many words you can get correct. I tried myself and it seemed pretty hard but overall my scored was 76 out of 100. In my opinion I did really good but maybe next time I try this I hope I can improve my knowledge and strive for a more greater score.

Fantasy Creature

 

My writing class and I have been working on creating and coming up with our own fantasy creature. We have thought about what type of Genre our creature would be and then we have filled in other things like what type of special abilities our creature could have, history, where it has come from or we he was born and then the inspiration, purpose and everything else that had been on the google slide. I have done my work the highest quality I could achieve and complete my work with the given amount of time.

While proceeding through my work I have found lots of easy tasks that I have to do which was, drawing/polyline my creature but I have drawn. As I think it would be much easier. I easily thought about what type of Genre my creature would be and what its would purpose would be.

I am very positive in saying that there were a lot of challenging things that had taken place in the time completing my work. The things I found hard were drawing my creature because I had so many Ideas about what I wanted to draw, but I could only use one. Therefore it had made me frustrated but I had been resilient and carried on with that task, later I completed it.

 I have taken my work and done the best quality I could do. I have completed my work in the given amount and I think that maybe next time I could finish my work with a more high standard and level up on my writing by using more detailed words and maybe more punctuation.

Olympics Acrostic Poem

 

For the past two weeks we have been recording information and learning about the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. We started doing an Inquiry about it and now we have started a acrostic poem. Here is my acrostic poem that I have been working on.

I thought that this work was really easy but I really liked doing this and I hope we do more stuff like this because it is really fun to do. I liked doing this because I had a challenge but I overcame that and finished my work in the given amount of time.

This work was really easy but their were a little bit of things that were kind of challenging to me. The first thing was trying to come up with a word that started with I but I never gave up and completed that task.

I am not sure that I have done any mistakes so maybe next time I can try to reflect on my work and try to level up with my mahi and complete my work with the high standards that needs to be shown in my work.

Olympics Value

 

My friend Tyran and I have been working on recording information about the Olympic Value Respect. We have put our information onto a google drawing and created a designed colour for the background. We tried to put detailed words in the sentences and we also tried to explain the Value Respect as best as we could.

I think that we both had done this task really fast and maybe we could of added a lot of more information about the Value Respect. Maybe even added another Value and explain what that means because there are three types of Values which are, Respect, Friendship, Excellence.

I had the thought of thinking that it was very challenging but when I was adding information onto the google drawing I actually thought that I was very capable of doing that and the fact that I thought that I couldn't I knew that I was wrong.

My friend Tyran had given me all of the information so I could copy it and put onto the google drawing and put it into  my own words because If didn't that would be copyright and that is illegal. We each got pieces of information from the sites that we had been given from the teachers and got the recommended information that was nice and clearly explained and we also tried to hook the reader in.

Maybe you can an Olympian one day?

Reading Must Do Activities

 

We were learning about Climate Change and all the things that have impacts on it or things that Climate Change have impacts on.

I found it easy to understand all of the questions that I have been given to answer. I found it really easy to finish my Must Do activities with the highest standard I could.

I found it challenging to gather information for the greenhouse gas explanation. I found it challenging to think five true or false questions.

Next time I will do the questions with the quality behaviour and quality detail that is recommended.

I Am Poem

 

We were learning about writing our own Poem about ourselves. We were learning about using adjectives and different types of words to describe what we could hear, see, feel and lots of other things about you.

I found it easy to borrow some of the words from the piece of paper that we had been given. I found it really easy to fill out the gaps and finish my work in the given amount of time.

I found it challenging to find the words on the piece of paper that I thought would match the this that I could see, feel and hear. I found it challenging to give each sentence that I wrote there own space and struggled to fit each of them on my page.

Next time I will fit every sentence in each box. Next time I will finish with more richer sentences and use ore descriptive words in each sentence within my writing.
