Writing Personification

As my tired, soggy and worn out body slowly scrapes across the muddy concrete floor, I think back to what happened this morning. 

Just as I was about to fall asleep, these 5 wrinkly, cheese smelling things are shoved inside me. Their sharp tips scratch my innards and get caught in my fabric. I angrily chafe this intruder, and it responds by smacking me against a wall. As I’m unwilling to be torn on any sharp objects, I relent and let the smelly thing be. After an hour or so of running, my friend and I are forced to watch as the giant goes straight through a puddle of mud- with us still attached! It only groaned as a huge amount of water started flooding through my skin. 

Boy do I hate being a shoe.

Today for writing Alex and I needed to write a story from a shoes' perspective, the thing is, we couldn't talk. It got confusing at times because we both had ideas but they were nothing alike. We also needed to use the some of the senses to describe what was happening to the shoe. After that, we listened to the other group's stories and then we presented our own.

Reading Presentation

Today for reading we were doing a presentation about our history topic, our topic was about knight. In our DLO we talked about how to become a knight and some famous knight. After we were done we share our kahoot to our class to do. One interesting fact that I learnt was when the first crusade happen in 1096.    

Transformation

Today we were learning about the 4 types of transformation. After that we made a DLO about the transformations. We did this to understand what the 4 types of transformation are. The transformation that we were learning was rotation, enlargement, reflection and translation.  

Food Print

Yesterday Michal Garvey from foodprint talked to us about how she started to make her own businesses. She talked to us about how waste was being a problem and how she stared to plan her own businesses. It took around 2 years of planning and now it been 6 months when it opened. She did this because so much food is being wasted. Like 20 million loaves of bread has been wasted in NZ a year and imagine how much money it will cost for the resources and transport.

Manaiakalani film festival 2019

Yesterday was the 12th manaiakalani film festival. On our way to the bus we partnered up with a little student from room 6 or 7. My partner was Khit he was in room 7, when we got to the cinema we dropped off our partner to their seat. After we dropped our partner off we went to the back seats to watch the movies. The movie that I like was how to learn because it was funny and fun to watch. After the film festival was done we grabbed the same partner and got onto the bus.               

Market Game

This week for maths we are learning about marketing and budgeting. We played a game called market game. It to learn more about budgeting and if we will get a profit or a loss. This was hard because some of the question was hard for my partner and I. In the end my partner and I got a loss by 20 and 18 dollars.

For this activity I worked with Alex and Jack and we had a lot of fun creating this presentation. Once we had completed our presentations we would go to another class and present our rules to them. We chose to present our slideshow to room 1.

A History of Protest in New Zealand

This week in reading, our group was reading a book about some of the biggest protest in New Zealand's. The book that we were reading was called Stand Up A History of Protest in New Zealand. As we were doing reciprocal reading, we made a list of vocabulary, summary, predictions and questions. Then we made a literacy weaving strip and using two words each from the book. I chose bread and soldiers because back then instead of fighting the soldiers they would hang out bread. Choosing my second option wasn't hard, I chose soldiers because they were taking down the house to make new roads

Who is Guy Fawkes

Today you should all know this quotes remember remember the 5th November. Today we are learning about a person name Guy Fawkes/Guido Fawkes. My partner and I were making a DLO identifying Guy Fawkes/Guido Fawkes. In our DLO we add information about him like what school did he go, when he was little and what he did.    

Need And Want

This week for inquiry we had to compare the difference between need and want. This was kind of hard because we can't say need or want in the explanation. We worked into groups so that we can talk to each other and explain something that we don't know.
