My Narrative Story

Narrative Writing Plan

My Reflection

I am learning to write a Narrative.

I found the summary column easy because we had a guide to help us. Describing Yeats was also easy because we learnt lots information about him because he is the main character of the story. The challenging part of my plan was describing my character ( Faith ) because it was a character that was least mentioned so It's a little trickier to know.

My next step is to write a narrative story.

Biosphere

My Reflection

This is my Biosphere. We made biospheres to learn about what would happen if the earth got uninhabitable.

I had to learn what a Biosphere is and then create it using cardboard, scraps and materials 

I found this project really fun because we get to go crazy and make a creation.

Diary Post-Term 4 Week 6

Dear Diary,

Over the last exciting weeks we had been doing some extraordinary activities. Let me explain about my journey at school.

Inquiry

One of my most favorite projects we had done as a group base activity was making biospheres. We learnt that biospheres is a dome or a place that us humans can live in. Its also a place to keep our living environment in such as fresh air, plants and crops to eat and water. After learning about what is a biosphere and checked out what it looks like in a biosphere we started making our own biospheres using cardboard, glue and scraps og paper and cardboard.

Reading...

At school our class had been reading a book called Between Two Ends. Last week we had finished the last chapters of the book and finished the story with a very curious ending. The story is about a boy called Yeats who wanted to save a girl called Shari who was sucked into the story Arabian Nights and wanted to be a character of the story. Over the journey Yeats encountered adventurous missions and thousands of jobs. But at the end he finds Shari and bring her back home.

Dance

This term we have a huge event for the Year 6s. Around the end of the term we have a dance and so we have to learn some couple dances and partner dances. Last week we learnt a couple dance. We also learnt some dance moves to some songs. One of my favorite songs is Cha-Cha Slide. Cha-Cha slide is a song that you can dance for fun.

                                                               Maths

We have been learning about 3D shapes and their nets. Nets is basically the  structure to making a 3D shape. We learnt that a net is made using 2d shapes which is built to make a 3D shape. Once we had an idea of making a net we decided to make a pirate ship and a treasure chest using paper and drawing out the nets. My group decided to make a treasure chest. We thought that the pirate ship was going to be harder to make but actually the

treasure chest far too hard to make.

Swimming

This term we´re doing swimming but instead of swimming as a whole class we split up with two groups.One is called Squirtles  which is the beginners group and the other group is Blastoids which is the more advanced swimming group. I am in the more advanced group because I'm pretty good at swimming. In our group we learnt to do stream lining swimming and how to breathe by rolling our head onto our shoulder. Swimming is one my most favorite activities I have done so far.

Well that´s all I have right now thank you for reading and I will see you all soon.

Show Don't Tell Writing

My Reflection

I am learning to write a story by showing what I felt like and not telling it.

I had to write about a special activity that I had enjoyed in camp or had the most strongest feelings in and writing it down by adding feelings by showing how you felt.

I found this activity easy because as a class we had spoke together about all the feelings we had when we tried out the activities in camp.

What Makes Me Different And Special

Auckland Landscape Painting

My Reflection

I am learning how to paint using different techniques.

I had to stroke from side to side for the sky by blending different colors, for the ocean I used a sponge and dabbed it on the paper.

I thought this project was fun because you get to use all sorts of items and play with it on the paper.

With the skyline I used a black piece of paper and drew the outline of Auckland city. Then I cut it out and paste it on the paper.

I had fun making this skyline and I hope you enjoy looking at it.

Haiku Poem

My Reflection

I am learning how to make a Haiku poem.

I had to make sure that I had 5 syllables in the first line, 7 in the second line and 5 in the last line.

I found this activity challenging because finding the correct words for the poem was really tricky.

My next step is to make more challenging Haiku poem.

Term 2 Week 8 Diary Post

Dear Diary,

For the last fort night our class have been doing some new learning that includes Art,Reading,Writing and Sports.

Reading

Last week we were entered into a new book called the Green Book. Our teacher Mrs Graham decided to read the book in E book. E book is a website where you can read books online. We read the first few chapters and we found out that in the story they were moving to another planet because the sun was dying. It sounded really interesting and I'm hoping that they will love the new planet.

Art

We're also doing another art project and this time it's about Space and the Solar System. Mrs Graham explained what we were going to do and then we got into groups. The new art project was making paper mashay planets. Paper mashay is a creation. It's made using bits of teared paper and gluing it layers by layers. Our group decided to make the planet Uranus. We didn't start the project yet but it sounded really fun.

Writing

Next term we're having our speech finals and I am soooo nervous. Sometimes I freak out when I'm in front the whole school doing a speech because I think it's embarrassing. But anyways we started writing our planner for our speech and mines is starting out well. YAY. My speech topic is Bullying needs to stop. I thought this topic was a persuasive topic and it was.

I can't wait to see the final speech it's so exciting but also nerve racking. 

Sport

I also want to talk about our amazing netball game last week because it was AMAZING!!

Our netball team had gone to the school Star of the Seas and versed their A netball team. We put our bibs on and rock the game. At the end it was 13 nil. That means we scored 13 and they scored 0 goals. It was a great game and to celebrate we got bags of lollies.

So those were some of the learning that we did for the last few weeks. I know it wasn't much but you will learn more in my next diary post which is coming soon...

Speech Plannner

Reflection

I am learning to make a speech planner.

I had to make a structure of how a speech planner looks like.

I found that there was a lot of points in a speech and that's what I am aiming for in my speech.

My next step is to start writing the beginning of my speech. 

Diary Post Term 2 Week 7

Dear Diary,

Our class have been doing some extraordinary learning this term. 

We have been doing games, watching videos and making new creations.

We have been doing a new art project. It's called Agamographs. Agamograph is an artwork and Agamograph is the name. This artwork is kind of like an illusion but it's not. At first it looked tricky to make but I realized that all you need to do is draw a picture, cut them to pieces and glue them onto a piece of card. I had fun making Agamographs and at the end it really did turned out great.

An event that we have been doing through the last couple of weeks was Terrific Tuesday. Terrific Tuesday is an event that we made and we choose a subject and learn about it around the term. I chose to make putiputi flax flowers. Putiputi falx flowers is a moari creation and you make flowers out of flax. I did this with Mrs Melville.

A couple of weeks ago it was Matariki so we decided to do a Matariki rotation to learn a little bit more about it. Matariki is the Moari new year. We made cookies that were shaped as stars that represents the seven stars of Matariki. We also made kites, learn to make a maori instrument etc. I think that having a rotation is a much better way to learn about Matariki because I learnt alot more about this event.

Those were some of the activities that we are doing through out this term.I really enjoyed doing these activities. Hope you enjoyed my diary post and learn a little bit more about learning at school.
