Kiwi Kids News

WALT: summerise what we read on kiwi kids news. First, we had to make a copy of this sheet Then, we had to go on kiwi kids news After that, we had to read and put info on this sheet Then, we had to post it on my blog. I enjoyed learning about what I have been reading on kiwi kids news and it was super odd. It was challenging when I was writing on my sheet and I put it (nearly) on my blog then I had to restart this whole thing!
HOPE YOU ENJOY!!!

Key Word Hunt (work from teacher)

WALT: summerise or story. we read the story and wrote down the important parts down 4 times after that we had to find the keywords or phrases* then we had to summerise the story in a sentence or two so that if people haven't read this story they can understand what happened in this story. I enjoyed this because it was fun to read and do activities as well. It was the best when we got to find the Keywords or the phrases. It was challenging when we had to make a summary of the book 0n what we did


* Phrases mean little sentences that explain things like: If you can't say something kind don't say it at all.

Blog Analysis

WALT: make a blog analysis,
Today we had to do a blog analysis so we keep track of how much blog posts we have done since 2017.  We had to make a google sheet and had to see how much we have blog posts in the past 3 years.  And we made observations. It was challenging because it was my first time doing this

Dick Frizzells artwork ( the Tiki )

WALT: Draw Dick Frizzel artwork,
Yesterday we had to draw a copy of our own Dick Frizzell's artwork and mine was a tiki we had to draw it in our scrapbooks and today we had to pastel, paint, die, crayon or use colored pencils to colour the artwork I used pastel and die. First, we had to draw it on a good piece of paper Then we had to colour our artwork inside the lines of what art we choose after that we had to die it if we wanted to then we had to leave it to dry. I enjoyed doing it because art is fun and we get to have fun while we do it. It was challenging to colour with pastels inside the lines but I got there in the end.
We only had two days to do it because Miss Farr said that we had to do other things instead like our choose your own adventure stories.

adventure stories

WALT: write our own adventure story. We had to copy this sheet and name it, then we had to answer all the questions, the questions were: What makes a great adventure story? Why do people like them? What makes them adventurous? What adventure stories do you know? What might good writers do?
It was challenging when my group wasn't doing the brainstorm I had to try and convince them to do it.
When it was challenging I had to try and make them do there work or it would affect there life and future.

My Family

WALT: write our family tree in Te Reo Maori
Today we had to write our family tree in te Reo Maori it had videos if you don't want to read it so then I will read it to you.
I enjoyed making a challenge because we only had to do one slide with a video but I did all three.
It was challenging because we had to write in Te Reo Maori but I did something else as well I did it in English so other people that can only read English so they can read it as well. I only did it in English because I was thinking about other people not just myself so here is my family slideshow.

NUMBER OF THE WEEK!!!!!

This is my number of the week for this week The number was 623.
I enjoyed it because it was really fun ( like all maths )
I had to fill out all the slides and post it to my blog
it was challenging to do it in one week

Tanka poem ( first time galloping )

       Galloping first time

        In the bush it was scary

        Up the hill, we go

              Ahhh, we had a scary gallop

              When we were done we went back

THE END BY: YAZMIN

ANTARCTICA poem

ANTARCTICA

In Antarctica, there are really big icebergs in the sea,

 If you are in Antarctica maybe you should check out the penguins they are pretty cool.

when you are there why don't you check out the big snowy mountains, 

so if you are there have a dip in the sea it will be pretty cold but still.

why don't you also climb the snowy mountains you could fin a snow yeti all the way up top.

if you dare you could make a boat and sail to an iceberg to see what it looks like?

but what you need to do is look at the sunset at night it will look like the sea has gone red.

if you go there you need to pack a tent otherwise you need to sleep in the snow.

you need to get there on a plane or you will not get there if
 you could go there how long would you stay?

you will need to pack a bag full of warm clothes because it is in the meniscus
so if you go there please be ready for ice-cold weather

Week 1 Reflection

This week I have learn't how to order fractions into a whole number because we had to do it for maths
This week I enjoyed ordering fractions into a whole number because it was fun and I thought I couldn't do it but I could
This week what I found challenging was that we had to do a fraction maze because I didn't get how to do it and people made me more confused but I managed to do it.
Next week I want to work on space and the fraction maze because it is fun

Week 8 Reflection

This week I enjoyed making the fruit kebabs because we got to eat them and also because it was really really fun.

 This week I have learnt how to say words in māori because we had to make the kebabs using instructions in māori.

 This week I found difficult was that we had to make kebabs using māori instructions.

Next week I think I need to work on pronouncing māori words correctly.

Kepapa Huarākau - fruit kababs

Today we made fruit kababs ( Kepepa hurarākau ) we did it in the tech room here are the instructions in Te reo moāri:
Reka ngā kepapa huarākau. Anei ngā tohutohu.
Tuatahi, horoia ngā kerepe.
Tuarua, tīhoretia ngā āporo, ngā huakiwi, ngā panana me ngā ārani.
Tuatoru, tapahia ngā huarākau kia iti.
Tuawhā, werohia ngā huarākau me ngā rare kōpungapunga.
Tino rika ngā kepapa

This is what it means in English:
Fruit kababs are delicious. This is how you make them.
First, wash the grapes.
Second, peel the apples, kiwifruit, bananas, and oranges.
Third, cut the fruit into small pieces.
Fourth, put the fruit and the marshmallows on the stick.
The kebabs are really delicious.

Here are some pictures of us making them!

Week 5 Reflection

This week I have learnt how to make connections with the story that I have done in my life or with the world or with a movie or a book I have read. This week I have found Te Reo Maori hard because we have to do it every week and we had to say the colors and the thing we are talking about. This week I have enjoyed basic fact because we have to do it in five minutes and answer fifty questions in that time limit. Next week I want to work on doing my basic facts in five minutes because I only had five answers left so I really want to get all of them done.

week 5, work from teacher

WALT: solve problems using standard written form.
This week we were doing the standard form of our maths. When we did it we had to work it out and it was really hard to do.  fun
I liked it because it was a challenge and I have to get some help with my first question from Meka. but other than that it was really fun so you should try to do it. here are my questions that my teacher gave me. ( the last one is is our thousands so it was super duper hard ). HOPE YOU ENJOY :)

The GPGP ( The Great Pacific Garbage Patch )

The Great Pacific Garbage patch Newsletter
Introduction
The Great Pacific Garbage Patch - The PROBLEM!

The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is 3 times the size of France ( 6 times the size of NewZealand )
It is in between Hawaii and California.
The Great Pacific Patch ( The GPGP ) is like an island but it is made up of rubbish.
The GPGP was made in the 1950s but wasn’t found until 1993.
It was made of people littering and it was washed into the sea and then it was taken to the GPGP.


Paragraph 1: What is the GPGP?

The GPGP is a garbage patch with heaps of rubbish.
It is there because people keep on littering and the rubbish keeps on to the GPGP
It is bad because we have been littering for too many so please be careful!

Paragraph 2: The effect on animals

The GPGP is killing all the animals and making them really sick!
They have to get to land and they will try and make them better.
If they  can’t make them better they will die.

Working with the teacher

WALT: ask questions after we have read one page

ANZAC Poem about world war 1

All New Zealand soldiers fighting for Britain
Nice amazing soldiers fighting for us in world war 1
Zig zagging around the battlefield dodging lots of bullets
Anzac soldiers in their trenches
Countries around the huge battlefield

Digging trenches to save their lives
Australia and New Zealand arriving at the battlefield
Young men injured in the battlefield

By Yazmin and Slade


We wrote this because of Anzac day is coming up and we celebrate the day on April the 25th because that's the day New Zealand soldiers landed in Turkey at dawn so that is why we have a dawn parried because of the New Zealand Soldiers landed at dawn but we lost in Galipalie 
because lots of our New Zealand Soldiers died because the Turkeys were waiting for us and we landed in the wrong place and were we landed was in a steep dropoff and the Turkeys shot most of the New Zealand Soldiers In world war 1 but we were trying to block the Germans but that idea was busted!!!
