Number Ninja

This week we were learning about co-ordinate graphs Te hanah and I made this to help yous understand. W.A.L.T: Read coordinate graphs. I think we were successful because we were able to make a slideshow with enough examples to teach others about coordinate graphs.

Complex

This week I have been learning about simple, compound and complex sentences.I chose to work on complex sentences.What I found hard was doing the rules for complex sentences and getting  images on my thing link. Next time I will try and make a better DLO.

Global Warming- a global warning

This week we have been screencastify our speech. WALT to read with fluency and expression. What I want to improve on is slowing down because I was going fast. I was proud of my self because I would change the speed of my voice and change the sound of my voice. What I found hard was being brave when I was talking in front of people around me. What I found easy was speaking clearly and loudly.

To be successful I will: 

Speak clearly and loudly 

Pause at full stops and commas 

Change the speed and sound of my voice

 I won’t rush my reading.

Cat Attack!!!

Last week my group was reading Keep your cat inside. What I found hard was writing the authors message. What I found easy was writing my least favorite part. I hope you enjoy my book report.

Book Review By Rangimarie

      

Book Title: Keep your cat inside

Author: Mike Tapp

This is a non-fiction book. The book is mostly about reputable organisations and scientist showing and giving facts that tell people we should keep our cat’s inside. Because they eat native birds.

My least favourite part in the book was knowing that The Wildbase Hospital has to treat native birds and reptiles that are being hurt from ferocious cats to make it worse they had a list of birds that cat have injured kakapo,Kiwi, Black stilts and kereru

I think the author’s message is that we should keep our cats inside because cats are natural predators and are killing native birds, reptiles and other animals.

Prom Queen or Not?

WALT independently improve our work by adding interesting language to enhance the mood we are trying to create. We are also learning to check that we have used complex punctuation correctly. I know I was successful because I used complex punctuation in my speech and used figurative language. My next step is to try and add more complexity in my ideas.

Prom Queen or Not?

There I was lying on my bed it felt like time was standing still. I was bored out of my mind. Daydreaming of myself on a roller coaster. At the tip of my ear I could hear someone talking to me.  I looked up and saw my aunty, “ Do you want to help me prepare for my prom?” she said. Immediately, I replied saying, “ I would love to”. Minutes later we arrived at the school,“Bye mum bye dad”. I glanced at the school and then looked back BAM the car had vanished. I was petrified. Where did it go?

BANG! BANG! BANG! we were knocking on the door for hours. Emma finally came to the rescue and opened the door. My eyes were drawn to a tremendous vine with magnificent flowers added onto It. I felt  like I was in an enchanted forest. We started getting into work I was hot glue gunning the beautiful flowers onto the vines and then a disaster hit - We were we were out of glue sticks. Sadly we had no more decorations to finish off. So we had to go to the hall where they were having the ball.

We were soldiers marching to the hall they were all ahead of me I looked at the humongous school thinking to myself ,“ Hopefully I don’t get lost when I come to this school”. I refocused and they had vanished. What was going on? My heart was thumping so fast that I couldn't even breath. I was lost in a maze with no way out. I followed my instincts and I made it to the hall. Just as I was walking in I could hear scratching on the floor. I was so afraid. What could it be? I was a spy on a mission and my mission was to find out what was in the hall. I quietly said, “On three” I said to myself 1 2 3 I ran in and it was just my aunty stacking the chairs up. I was so pleased. Going back to the day I still wonder where the car went. I looked back at my phone and I had missed thousands of calls from my mum “Oh no!” I gasped. Just as we were walking out of the school I could see a silver truck. I ran as quick as lightning. It was my mum and dad. The stress that I had just flew away.

The day sadly had to end I had so much fun. I had a sensational day but also a frightening day. I will never ever ever forget the day I helped my aunty prepare for the prom.

Reading task.

We are learning to expand our reading vocabulary by working with a buddy to find word meanings. What I found hard was pronouncing the words. My next step will be to try and pronounce all the words properly.
