writing

 This week we edited some of our writing that we did in the first three weeks of term. I chose this one because it was easy.

It is an example of personification

 

play make create term 3 week 3

 In Week 3 of Term 3, we did Play Make Create. This is where the teacher reads you a story and you discuss the message in the story. Then you create something based on the message and also do a piece of writing. You can use materials or make a digital creation.  This week Mrs Craig Read the book: The smartest Giant in Town by Julia Donaldson.

  It was about being kind.

 I chose to build a bridge to help the giant get over the bog.

 Going To Waipu

On Friday, me and Mum went to drop my nana off in Auckland so she could go to my aunty’s birthday.

Then me and  Mum went to Waipu and we had a sleep over at Mike and Katy’s house. They are Mum’s friends.

Katy took us to dinner. For starters, I had salad, prawns and waffles. 

Me and Mason, who is Katy and Mike’s son, and my mum played handball. Mum were the best at it. 

We had a cool time.

Writing Week 5 Term 2 2021 simile Poem

 In Week 5, we learned how to write a Simile poem. This kind of poem needs a simile in almost every line. We could base it on any topic we wanted.   I chose to base mine on me  Here is my work….

My Simile Poem.

My eyes are as brown as soil.

My hair is black as night.

My legs are as long as rulers.

I am as fast as a cheetah.

Writing Week 1 Term 2 2021

 This week we had to write a Repetition poem about what we didn’t do in the holidays. Here is my work:

Feathers

 This week we went on a hunt in the playground to see if we could find some feathers. We didn’t find any but luckily our teachers had collected some so then we came back to class and wrote about them using our senses of sight and touch to describe them. Here is my work:

Term 2 Week 2-Environmental Writing-Feathers

Task: Write to record ideas generated by our feather hunt in the school grounds and our examination of the feathers we collected.

Choose whatever type of writing you like using the language and structure appropriate to that kind of writing EXCEPT you are not allowed to write an acrostic poem or a couplet poem.

If appropriate, use a range of different sentence beginnings and start your paragraphs with different time sequencing phrases

Record observations based on your  senses  of sight and touch eg Ideas about shape, size, colour, texture

Check your spelling and grammar

Use basic punctuation correctly (Capital letter to start sentences and full stop, question mark or exclamation mark at the end of sentences).

……………………………………………………………………………………………………..

White feathers, black feathers are so fluffy.

White feathers,  black feathers are so smooth.

White feathers, black feathers falling down from the sky.

White feathers, black feathers everywhere on the ground.

White feathers, black feathers are very light.

White feathers, black feathers in the tree.

White feathers, black feathers are so soft.

White feathers, black feathers on a bird.

Chocolate

 This writing task was about a language experience. Our teachers brought different kinds of chocolate to school and we got to eat it! We tried white chocolate, milk chocolate, dark chocolate, caramel chocolate and pink chocolate. We could write about it in any way we liked but our teachers hoped we would use lots of describing language and our senses.

Easter Recount

 The goal of this writing activity was to retell what we did during Easter. We had to remember to use sequencing adverbs at the beginning of our paragraphs.

Cicadas

This week we were looking for cicadas to write a recount

The old church.

 Me and my class went to the old church and we had a book to write adjectives and adverbs in to describe the church. Then we wrote a story.

Writing using opposite adjectives.

 Kia ora

We are learning how to write a couplet poem. We looked at an example on page 32  of SJ 1.4 1992. Then we had to choose our own noun, two opposite adjectives to describe it, think of rhyming words for the end of each line and finish the last line with a onomatopoeia word repeated 3 times. Here is my work.

Responsible

Responsible

Responsible is when you look after school property.  Responsible is when you don't

 touch the teachers properly. If they tell you that you can use it then you can use it and

 when you're finished with it you put it back where it belongs. Responsible is also about cleaning up your own mess.

  

  

  

Recount of monarch butterfly

Kia ora.

We are learning that Basic Punctuation means that you have a capital letter at the start of a

sentence, and a full stop, question mark or exclamation mark at the end of every sentence when

you do a piece of writing. One piece of writing I did was a recount about looking at swan plants.
