ANZAC Day for me

For the last week my literacy group has been looking at a box that we got in the mail. Inside the box there were some things for World War 1.we were asked to think about what they ment. Aliyah and I wrote about the football team and we added some of our own photos.

ANZAC Day for me

I think that the story Thirteen Served Five Died was a very stern and sad story. I can’t believe that the population in New Zealand  in 1914 was only 1,095,994 and 194,254 went to war that's 10 % of New Zealand . I never knew that Anzac day was so important until I read the story Thirteen Served Five Died.

ALARM CALL

This week we have been writing a story about a photo of a kitten and a troll. In the picture it looks like the goblin is going to step on the kitten. But we had to make our own twist, my twist was about how the goblin was a naghty little boy who was sneeking down the hall to find the x-mas preseants.

ALARM CALL

“Ahhhhh a MONSTER named Ivan”  Monsters are mythical creatures and this one looks like a troll or goblin.

Now this Ivan is nothing but trouble he’s green, slimy and ugly, he has a beard that goes all the way down to his knees and ruby red lips.The creepy troll crept down the street looking for his house. He crept down to address number 90 along the hallway and could not find anything but then he stopped...

There was a kitten named Mr Meow in his way it was taking up the whole path, (The kitten was a marshmallow, white and fluffy) next thing Ivan knows is that Mr Meow has woken up his mom and dad! Ivan was scared he knew he was supposed to be sleeping. “Are you trying to get at the christmas presents, AGAIN!?” says mom “back to bed” dad said “ohhww man” Ivan whispers.

SWEET FREASH BREAD!!!!

SWEET FREASH BREAD!!!!

Mmmm!! Sweet fresh bread!! Last week in class, Ponui-o-Toka read a big book about bread making. Then we made bread the next week. The reason why we did this was because we are learning about healthy eating for inquiry.

At the start of the day we made the dough but first we had to wash our hands because the teachers don’t want us sharing germs. Then we combined the ingredients together in a bowl while looking at the recipie. We mixed the yeast in a different bowl with water and Mrs Jack added in sugar and Mrs Jack mixed it with her HANDS!! Then we poured it into our other mixer and mixed it with a dough mixer.

The teacher kneaded the dough, when we are kneading all you are doing is just pushing down with the heel of your hand then folding over and repeating that process over and over again. While you are kneading you are spreading the air bubbles throughout your bread dough.

Then we put the dough in a bowl and cover it with a tea towel and wait 1 hour for it to rise in a warm space we left ours in room 6. I said “when will it be done rising i want to eat it” Mrs Jack preheated the oven.

I said to my friend “YAY!! Time to taste the scrumptious looking bread” When I tasted the first batch of bread it was really sweet I think that because Mrs Jack added a lot of sugar, The second batch tasted like a scone and both batches were crusty on the outside and soft inside.

I thought that the bread making was fun because we got to eat it in the end and it was scrumptious.

Holiday Recount (Mega Air)

For writing we were told to write a recount about our weekend. I wrote about going to mega air because it was really fun.

Mega Air

“Whoooooo this is fun” is what I  thought the whole time. In the holidays I  went to Mega Air with Nana And Ryus. Mega Air is a indoor trampoline park.

First I went to the Dodgeball Pit and the people who started the game made it free for all (no rules) when we got into the game I  got hit in the face by the a ball and I thought really watch where you're aiming mate not cool, the balls are yellow with black stripes and are quite soft. I  had fun with Ryus (my brother) in the dodgeball pit but then I decided to leave because nobody was getting out and that's boring.

Next Ryus and I went to the Airbag and we raced he bet me out of the Airbag because I got stuck and I landed on my back and could not roll over, when I finally rolled over and got to the corner of the Airbag and got stuck but then… a man who was helping children out of the foam pit and Airbag helped me out of it, I  thought he was kind. Then I  went past the Airbag to the wall I  have never been up surprised my brother doing that. I t was hard but really fun.

Then I  played in the half pipe and fell a lot (half pipe is where there are three tramps two on the sides and one on the bottom) I  jumped around and had fun but then I  had to go home ryus. nana and I  got into the car and then I  got told that Ryus did not get hurt and that is newfangled (different from normal).

In the end I had fun because I got to go to mega air and have fun but mainly just because a man helped me out off the air bag.

                     NOW YOU HAVE FOUND MY HIDING SPOT.

Tornadoes

For reading we have been learning about weather. The first subject I did was tornadoes. First I searched up tornados. Next I did my plan. Then wrote about them. Here is my information report.

Tornadoes

Tornadoes are a fast spinning tube of cloud, that touches the clouds and the ground

Tornadoes look like a giant cone they are grey, there is a such thing as a supercell tornado, a landspout tornado, a gustnado, a water spout, a dust devil and a fire whirl.

A tornado destroys everything in its path it can kill or badly injure people. There is a such thing as tornado alley is in the USA (United States of America) between Texas and Dakota. Tornado alley got its name from how many tornadoes happen there a year. There is a safe spot in a tornado and that's in the middle of the tornado which is called the eye of the tornado.

I think that tornadoes are very scary and bad because they can kill or badly injure people.

Fixed Mindst and Growth Mindset

Fixed Mindst and Growth Mindset

For power time we have been learning about what Growth Mindsets are and what Fixed Mindsets are. We were gived an asignment to create our own version. Here is my completed work.

Titanus Giganteus

For reading we wrote about an insect of our own choose I choose Titanus Giganteus.

anus giganteus

Titanus giganteus are a powerful insect. They are alive.

Titanus Giganteus have three body part the abdomen thorax and head they also have antennae.

A Titanus Giganteus is a huge beetle with powerful jaws with a really strong bite. They are pure black and have two sets of wings. Another name for Titanus Giganteus is Titan beetle. They are 6.5 inches WOW.

Titanus Giganteus live deep in tropical rain forest in South America, North Brazil, Colombia, Peru, Ecuador and the Guianas, most titan beetles we find now are mostly from french Guiana.

Adult titan beetles do not feed, searching instead for mates, baby’s Titanus Giganteus eat leaves seeds fruit.

I hate Titanus Giganteus because they are huge and gross.

Tit

ANZAC

The last 2 weeks we have been learning about ANZAC Day and about the people that risked there life for us. We read a story about the moria batalian, We also had a spiecal vistor who was my Nana and she showed stuff from world war one. She also showed us photos of his grave and his freinds grave. 

SNOT!!!

We Were learnig to make show don't tell where we are not allowed to say what it is.

Success Criteria

Write 8-10 sentences using Wow words and similes.

1 sentence has alliteration in it.

Hook your reader in. (Make your first sentence interesting/ different)

OMG!!! The mixture looked disgusting and like a green gooey pancake. I was so excited to stick my hands in it! “What did Mrs McGuinniety get us do!?” The contents looked disgusting and gross. Once I touched it I realized it wasn't so bad. Then I sniffed the substance and it smelt like my favorite soap. I could hear the noise of people screaming “eww” and “yuk” but I thought “cool”. For some reason when I touched it I felt happy. The mix was just gross it felt weird when I touched it. That was the slippery, slimey, smelly, snot.

Spencer Park!!!!!!

We did wrote a recount about going to spencer park and having fun. In our recount when hade to have first, next, then, after that and so on.

We went to spencer park to get to know each other.

I AM SO EXCITED FOR SPENCER PARK!!!! is what i said last friday. Last Friday the year 4-6 children went to spencer park to get to know each other.

When we got there we had morning tea. First I went on the playground to play with my best friend Ayliah and the first thing we went on was actually the big blue slide. At Spencer Park I got to meet Shine and Riley my old friends we played on the tyre swing thing together. There were three more schools a high school and to other schools just like ours.  All of our teachers wanted us to be the best school there.

Then I went to the flying fox with Ayliah and found my first best friend Ebony she gave me a huge hug that was really strong (she hugged me because we have not seen each other in 2 years)Then I saw her dad Mat he was so nice he was even helping out he all of the school.

Then we went to the beach and we had to create a tower My team was Ayliah and Emma N We ended up having the smallest tower because someone stole the stick that we put down waiting to put into Our tiny tower we just made of sand at that point We knew we would lose But we didn't give up we keep on trying to get out of  made of Driftwood but it wasn't very hard Pull out because the driftwood Was stuck, In the end we were happy for the three teams that won the first place was for the tallest second place words for collaborated and third place was for creative. Did we walked back to the place where we put our bags down with brown shoes and socks and bags and then we walked back to the field.

When we were back we were were able to choose to do sports or just play on the playground I just played on the Playground because I'm not that much of a fan of Sports. Ayliah and I went to her secret place and then she fell in and I just laughed because she fell but then i helped her up because she is my best friend. Then we got in the bus and got back to school.

I was so happy that we had gone to spencer park with all of my friends and some from the other schools.
