I will tell you about all the different types of poems we have learnt about.<br />
<div>
<b>A limerick</b> is a poem that is allowed to rhyme. But you have to follow the correct amount of sentences and words in the poem. </div>
<div>
<b>Free Verse Poetry</b> is basically free, because you are sort of allowed to do whatever you want in the poem. You don't have to follow any rules, and it doesn't have to rhyme. </div>
<div>
<b>A Cinquian</b> is more strict about what you have to follow, unlike Free Verse Poetry. You have to follow a particular way you write your poem. The syllable pattern is 2,4,6,8,2. Also you don't want to give away to much information because you want the reader to figre out what your poem is about.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Troy's writing group have made a slide with our poems on them so you can see the different poems and guess which poem matches the different poems I have included above.</div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Here is the link to the slide:<br />

<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Feedback/Feedforward:</b> I think your poems look great and you have worked hard to create lots of examples for people to see. There are also some great language features in there. Like similes and Repetition. Next time you could work on your Cinquains because you need to practise the format. You could try different subjects. rosalind:)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Evaluation:</b> I think that I have done a great job with my poetry because I have added in everything that I need to add into my poems to make them interesting. Rosalind said that I needed to work on the format and have different subjects but I disagree with her because I think that I have included those really well.</div>

A Cinquain is a type of poem. In a Cinquain we are allowed our story to not rhyme. Also we have to follow a certain way we write our poem because we have to have two syllables in the first line, four in the second line, three ing words in the third line, eight syllables in the second to last line, and finally two syllables in the last line. <div><br></div><div><b>Here are my two poems:</b></div><div><br></div><div><b>Pirouette</b></div><div><br></div><div>Music,</div><div><br></div><div>Nice Leotards,</div><div><br></div><div>Pointing, moving, turning,</div><div><br></div><div>Dancing stylish across the room,</div><div><br></div><div>Balłet!</div><div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-H8a2DWaTW3o/VltvEbO3qNI/AAAAAAAABHY/JOTJ54kVu9A/s640/blogger-image--1072788727.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-H8a2DWaTW3o/VltvEbO3qNI/AAAAAAAABHY/JOTJ54kVu9A/s640/blogger-image--1072788727.jpg"></a></div><br></div><div><b>Eye On The Ball</b></div><div><b><br></b></div><div>Game on,</div><div><br></div><div>Whistle is blown,</div><div><br></div><div>Running, sweating, pushing,</div><div><br></div><div>And that is a goal for the red,</div><div><br></div><div>Hockey!</div><div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-s7b9-5i-poA/VltvCk031xI/AAAAAAAABHQ/wVCVU3Sfm-E/s640/blogger-image--1186346839.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-s7b9-5i-poA/VltvCk031xI/AAAAAAAABHQ/wVCVU3Sfm-E/s640/blogger-image--1186346839.jpg"></a></div><br></div><div>Feedback/Feedforward: I loved how when a person reads the poem you really have thought about what kind of words you use.

And in inquiry we have had a choice of which group we were in. There were groups like, Graduation, Building, Science, 3D Printing and more. We had taste testers at each station, to help us to decide which three groups we liked the most. I like Building first because it will help me for when I am older because I am going to become an Architect and an interior designer. Then I chooseImpact Projects second and Graduation third. And then after we decided our top three favourite then the teachers choose out of those three, which group we would be most suited at. I got my first choice. Then once we were in our groups we had to choose what we are going to leave behind at Russell St. <div><br></div><div>I am going to be leaving a mark at RSS because of the bench that I am making. My bench that I am making is called a Buddy Bench. And a buddy bench is for, if you have no one to play with. Someone can come and ask if you would like to play with them. It is also making people more happy at Russell St because they have buddy's and friends to play with. </div><div><br></div><div>I am also think outside of the box because if it was just a bench that people would just sit on, how would that change the school if we have already have benches. But I am adding a twist by making something we have not got at school already.</div><div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-nU7dxe3vfVo/Vl-arV0eY_I/AAAAAAAABHo/eWf4lihrnKY/s640/blogger-image-1162981944.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-nU7dxe3vfVo/Vl-arV0eY_I/AAAAAAAABHo/eWf4lihrnKY/s640/blogger-image-1162981944.jpg"></a></div><br></div><div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-DKglxijWeGE/VmnfY-bkNsI/AAAAAAAABIE/1pNBZVnMxfM/s640/blogger-image-1998314226.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-DKglxijWeGE/VmnfY-bkNsI/AAAAAAAABIE/1pNBZVnMxfM/s640/blogger-image-1998314226.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-V8PtPKcbqjE/VmnfXFr_JEI/AAAAAAAABH8/9PnDUa-DAno/s640/blogger-image-255763593.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-V8PtPKcbqjE/VmnfXFr_JEI/AAAAAAAABH8/9PnDUa-DAno/s640/blogger-image-255763593.jpg"></a></div><br></div><br></div><div>My Planning:</div><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><b>O4/11/15:</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">What?

How did this help your understanding of the problems Baba and the nomads face in finding water to survive?</div><div>I know that a nomadic tribe is a group of people that travel in different places. They also carry a put up tent with them. Because they don't live in one place. Baba is twelve years old and needs to find water for her tribe. It is also very hard when you are moving lots. Their tribe puts lots of pressure on Baba. How will they survive?</div><div><br></div><div>“Now, something else caught her eye. Could it be?...It was a miracle - a dream come true.” (p.13) Why did the author not tell the reader what Baba saw here? What was the purpose of this omission? </div><div>Because it gets the reader interested to read more and find out what they are talking about.</div><div><br></div><div>Alliteration is the repetition of the first letters or sounds of words within a sentence. The author writes, “There was grass: long, luxurious grass.” (p.11) How does this use of alliteration help you to visualise the grass?</div><div>Because it describes the grass in two clean fresh words.</div><div><br></div><div>What other words that start with “l” could you add to the sentence to enhance the description? </div><div>Landscape of grass.</div></div>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-262535690733061305.post-33159916941678101022015-10-15T08:56:00.001+13:002015-10-16T13:46:25.114+13:00Book BashAt school we are starting up a thing called Book Bash. That is when the teachers choose ten books that they think that we will enjoy. Then we pick three favourite books out of the ten. The way we decide if we are suitable for the book is we read the blurb and decide if we like the book then we read one page out of the book and if we don't know a word we put up one finger out of five. Then if we get five words wrong, then we will have five fingers up and that means that the book is to hard for you. <div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-iVq3U204gTQ/ViAoE-IrxTI/AAAAAAAABF4/hgYbZWrrffU/s640/blogger-image-855865199.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-iVq3U204gTQ/ViAoE-IrxTI/AAAAAAAABF4/hgYbZWrrffU/s640/blogger-image-855865199.jpg"></a></div><br></div><div>1. Title- I think the title of the book is a weird title. I don't know what it means yet but I will find out when I read it. I wonder why the book is called Petronas. It is a very interesting name.</div><div><br></div><div>Cover Design- The cover design is very rain like. I love how they have got drips down from the top of the book because it fells like it is dripping to be opened and read. Also I wonder why the lay have got a bird flying on the front cover. But soon I will find out.</div><div><br></div><div>Blurb- the start of the blurb really interesting because it hooks the reader in. I wounded why they used the word "He" instead of the name of the thing. The end question always hooks the reader more and more and makes them think about the question more and more. This book does that really, really well.</div><div><br></div><div>2. Predictions- I think the book is about a person who has discovered a bird around the city. And the person thinks it knows how was here before them and why.</div>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-262535690733061305.post-26212658290225119442015-09-25T10:36:00.001+12:002015-09-25T10:42:50.199+12:00Image QuestioningThis week for our Tic-Tac-Toe's I chose to do Image Questioning.

<b><u>What I Know About Interior Design:</u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
1.Interior Design Is when you design a room inside a house.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
2.Interior Designs inside a house normally have two or three colours they base their room on.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
3.Interior Design can have different themes like country side or Modern Life Style.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
4.Interior Design can have the feeling of bright rooms, warm rooms, dark rooms and more.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><u>What I Have Learnt About Interior Design:</u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
5.Before you start you have to make plans about how long you want things to be inside the room, what colours and what furniture, you might want or need.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
6.Colour pallets are used so you can decide what colours you might want the room, depending on what theme you want and what feeling you want to get when you walk in the room.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
7.You will also need to make sure you have measured the walls and everything to make sure the furniture all fits in at the end.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
8. You need to choose what room you are going to recreate or make inside.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
9. You can get inspiration off the internet like up the top I have done and what other people think.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
10. You also need to think about flooring and what type of flooring you want to have.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
11.Decoration is everything in rooms, even if it is just a book on a shelf.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
12. Starting on a room is hard if you don't have any inspiration to get you started.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
13. Making a Mood Board is a great idea as it shows what you like and might want in you room.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
I think you have done a good job on this passion project because you have found lots of photos and you have told us the steps that you took to learn about interior design. What I think you could work on is trying what you have learned about and show a picture of your room with some interior design in it so we know that you can do it. Rosalind:)</div>

<span lang="EN-US">I think I have done a great job with my passion project. I have learnt and got better at designing. And what things you should follow if you ever make a room. I am really proud of myself. I could get better at my style I choose next time because I took along time to deside also you get different feelings when you walk into different spaces, I think I would have gotten a more play room feel. I was not going for a play room but know I know what to improve.</span></div>

<br>
Friday the 31st of July the Kapa Haka group went to Pae Tamariki. Pae Tamariki is a chance from what you have learnt in Kapa Haka, to share your knowledge. We performed at the Regent Theatre. We perform our songs that we have learnt in Kapa Haka. We practise every week on Monday after lunch.<br>
<br>
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/CGEM47d3rWk" width="560"></iframe><br>
<br>
Big Idea:<br>
<br>
At Pae Tamariki, I felt... A bit nervous and excited at the same time. I felt nervous because we are performing I front of loads of people. And I felt excited because we don't normally perform to loads of people everyday.<br>
<br>
I felt most proud of…being there at the Regent, with my Kapa Haka group because I wouldn't have been there for the experience, without Rosie and Nic. Rosie and Nic Teach us Kapa Haka.<br>
<br>
I found remembering to move to the sides tough, when the boys do the Haka challenging because… sometimes people forget to move over that side and also sometimes people squish you I between someone.<br>
<br>
I managed this challenge by….remembering people to move to the side and to not move so close to each other because we would not be able to do the actions.<br>
<br>
At Kapa Haka, I next want to..... Getting less nervous for when we have to share like at Pae Tamariki.<div><br></div><div><br>
Feedback/Feedforward:</div><div>I think you are wonderful at Kapahaka and work hard. You smile a lot and enjoy Kapahaka. But as you said you could work on having fun when you perform, on stage for lots of parents and other schools. Taylor<br>

I think I have got the idea of how to do the box method but I think I need to work on getting faster on the strategy. I know I can get better at this when I get faster at it. I have a goal that I will work on it until it gets fast. I know I have accomplished it when I can get a really hard division or multiplication and solve it really fast.</div>

Our purpose is Production Ora-Life. Our task is to upcycle old things that we have got at home. The theme that I am in is Hero's And Villan's. I am a Villan. I got to chose my first and second choices out of three different themes. My first choice was Elements, second was Hero's And Villan's. I got my second choice. We made a mood board to start getting our inspiration inspired, for when we do start creating our gourmet. My inspiration is Maleficent because she starts of as a villan and she inspired me to have big black wings in my creation.<br>

We have to choose three Tic-Tac-Toes for the week. We need to remember to use our time wisely for the whole morning until brunch. By the end of the week we should have three Tic-Tac-Toes, done to high standard. One of my Tic-Tac-Toes I choose for the week is called Interview. We have to interview someone. It can be anyone you want. It can be someone from a story book to someone in real life. I did mine on Alice In Wonderland.

In questioning we ask questions, Before we read the book, during we read it and after. Before we ask Questions about what we think we can find in the book judging on the book title, cover and blurb. During we might ask questions, like why might he have done that and where are they taking him. And after we read the book we ask questions that we can find in the book.</span></div></div>

Evaluation:</div>

I think I have done a great job with my questions and answers because they tell the reader why in the answers that Alice has given. But next time I would like to make it more entertaining some how becaus e I couldn't find out how to make it more interesting.</div>

I have been working on using better words in my writing and using time words. Also I need to put some interesting words to make the reader influenced to read the rest of my story. How I got my goal was I did a test with the writing in my book already at the start of the term with the writing that I already had put in there. Then we marked our work in our book and put a tally mark for each part of my writing that I had done next to that goal on the paper. Once we finished that then we added our tally marks on our sheets separately. Then the sheet with the least amount of tally marks would be the goal that we worked on.<br>

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><br></span>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">"I would love to." Mr Robert carried on, "So, this is Mr Rusty <span style="background-color: red;">and</span> I think he would be great on our </span>team because..." Mr Robert stopped to look at Mr Rusty, "He has got what it takes. <span style="background-color: red;">Since</span> he has got<br>
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: red;">and</span> tracking devices it is way better instead of carrying loads of spy stuff on your own. <span style="background-color: red;">Since</span> </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">this </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">robot has a whole home inside him, you can go under cover on a secret mission inside to hide your </span>self!"<br>
<br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: red;">When</span> he looked his boss straight in the eye, Mr Robert got a chill down his spine.</span><br>
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><br></span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><br></span>
Mr Roberts boss took an apple from his white fridge <span style="background-color: red;">that</span> was about the same size as him.<br>
<br>
<br>
"Well, I am very impressed with you <span style="background-color: red;">and</span> your robot. You, Mr Robert, have worked here for many years <span style="background-color: red;">so</span> I think that you and your robot should go on a very important mission." The boss stood to examine the robot carefully. <span style="background-color: red;"> As</span> Mr Rusty stood very still he did not want to knock over <span style="background-color: red;">or</span> fall on anything.<br>
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><br></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><br></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">The bosses room was full with shelves on the left for all his outstanding awards as a spy. On the right was a little table for two. His desk made out of dark brown wood , was in the middle of his room because his bathroom was behind him. <span style="background-color: red;">As</span> though you think he could not posably fit his bed in his </span>room, you thought wrong in the back of his desk is an pull out draw which holds his bed inside.<br>
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><br></span>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><br></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">"Also, Mr Rusty can fly me down to earth <span style="background-color: red;"> then</span> back up here to HQ again." Mr Robert added <span style="background-color: red;"> with</span> a </span><br>
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">pleased smile on his face.</span><br>
<br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">"Very im</span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">pressive. I want you to do this very important mission." <span style="background-color: red;">While</span> the boss said as he turns his </span><br>
computer screen on <span style="background-color: red;"> and </span> it flickers into life. It shows a picture of their target <span style="background-color: red;">also</span> where the mission is on earth.<br>
<br>
The picture is of a woman <span style="background-color: red;"> with </span> short dark brown hair. She's got evil eyes <span style="background-color: red;">that</span> look very cunning.<br>
<br>
<br>
<span style="background-color: red;">When</span> Mr Robert turned to face Mr Rusty, Mr Rusty had a very suspicious smile on his face <span style="background-color: red;">and</span> Mr Robert didn't know why.<br>
<br>
<br>
Mission Day has arrived <span style="background-color: red;">and</span> the excitement danced around the air.<br>
<br>
<br>
<span style="background-color: red;">Before</span> Mr Robert slowly, as slowly as a snail, got out of bed Mr Rusty was already up <span style="background-color: red;">and</span> ready for the big day ahead.<br>
<br>
<br>
"Good morning Mr Rusty." Mr Robert carried on, "It is your first mission today <span style="background-color: red;">and</span> it is going to be great. I'm going to get ready, so you can stay here."<br>
<br>
<br>
Mr Rusty noded his head <span style="background-color: red;"> as</span> Robert turned the corner to put his clothes on.<br>
<span style="background-color: red;"> When</span> Mr Robert came out to where Mr Rusty stood, he wore a track-suit <span style="background-color: red;"> with</span> the spy logo on his top.<br>
<br>
<br>
<span style="background-color: red;"> When</span> Mr Robert saw Rusty had finished his breakfast, Mr Robert zoomed over to the table near the kitchen <span style="background-color: red;">and</span> ate his breakfast as fast as a cheetah running.<br>
<br>
<br>
They were all ready. Anticipation rises in both Rusty <span style="background-color: red;">and</span> Robert.<br>
<br>
<br>
They go into the center of Mr Robert's big room. <span style="background-color: red;">When</span> Mr Rusty noded his head at Mr Robert, Mr Robert goes into the center of the room followed closely by Mr Rusty <span style="background-color: red;">and</span> presses a blue switch on the wall and flicks it up.<br>
<br>
<br>
<span style="background-color: red;">When</span> Mr Rusty looked up he was amazed, "Oh my gosh! This is awesome, your roof opens up to space!"<br>
<br>
<br>
"Yes, yes it does." Mr Robert said very proudly.<br>
<br>
<br>
Mr Rusty opened a door on the front of his belly, <span style="background-color: red;">so t</span>hat Mr Robert could travel down to earth.</div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
Once they were at earth, in Sanfransico they were ready to switch the button on the inside of Mr Robert so that they could track the evil eyed lady down.<br>
<br>
<br></div>
<div>
"I know she is here somewhere, so stay low." Said Mr Robert keeping an eye open though the binoculars.</div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
Suddenly Mr Robert heard a rustle in the dark green bush, in the far corner of the garden outside the mall.</div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
A villain jumped out of the bush <span style="background-color: red;"> and </span> it was the exact villan from the photo on the white computer screen.</div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
Mr Rusty suddenly flung a door open on the side of his hip <span style="background-color: red;"> and </span>with his huge, big, hand he reached inside <span style="background-color: red;">and</span> grabbed out Mr Robert.</div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
"What are you doing? Wait, don't throw me out. We are spy buddies!" Mr Robert begged to Mr Rusty.</div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: red;">But</span> it was no use because Mr Robert had put the red Mood Changer on Mr Rusty <span style="background-color: red;"> instead </span> of the blue Mood Changer.</div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
Mr Rusty threw Robert across the garden <span style="background-color: red;"><b> </b>and</span> he landed in a big, tall tree.</div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: red;">Before</span> Mr Robert could blink the villan had jumped into Mr Rusty <b style="background-color: red;">and</b> they were off. They are flying back to HQ.</div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
"Oh no, I am so busted." Mr Robert said very sadly, "Oh my, well, they are probably going to HQ to take over the world!"</div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
Mr Rusty knew that he would be stuck down at Earth for a very long time.</div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
Mr Rusty was nearly thee at HQ, when his door that he flung Mr Robert out of opened <span style="background-color: red;">and</span> the villan fell out of the door screaming!</div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
Mr Rusty faulted suddenly <span style="background-color: red;">and</span> also went falling back down to earth.</div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
Through the sight of Mr Robert's eye, he could see two things falling down from the sky.</div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
When they landed the was a big, loud, strong, bang <span style="background-color: red;">and</span> thump. It was like a earthquake under people's feet.</div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
Mr Robert ran over to where the robot <span style="background-color: red;">and</span> the lady lay.</div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
The robot woke up <span style="background-color: red;">and</span> got off the floor. </div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
"I am very sorry <span style="background-color: red;">and</span> I promise I will always be on your side if you change the Mood Changer." Said Mr Rusty.</div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
So that is just what Mr Robert did.</div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
The End!<br>

In Kapa Haka we learn about how to speak the Maori Language. We learn a buch song in maori and in those words we are singing about something or they mean something. We also have actions that go with the song and the words that you sing. There are two groups in Kapa Haka. There is one big group for everyone who wants to take part in it. In that big group we allow the ages from year 1- year 6. For the big group we practise once a week on Monday after lunch. Then there is a small group for the year five's and six's who want to push there selfs further in Kapa Haka, practise more and learn more about this Language. The small group practices two times a week on Moday and Friday lunch times. I particapate in both groups. When Matariki comes around each year we perform to our parents and teachers. I like Matariki also because we get to share what we have learnt in the Maori Language.</div>

In my science group we have been learning about animals and their Adaptions. There are two Adaptations, Biological and Behavioral Adaptations. A Biological Adaptation is something that is apart of the animal that it was born with. A Behavioral Adaptation is what the animal learnt to do like tiny puppy's can't bark when they are very young they have got to learn, that is an example. I made a video about my animal that I have been doing research on and that animal is a Snowy Owl. My I Wonder Question was why do Snowy Owls have feathers on their feet. Look at my video to see what I learnt about them and their feet.<br />

Feedback/Feedforward: Wow Amy! You have a really good rage of strategies. I can really tell that you were practising a lot and thinking a lot when you were writing down the answers. One question: "What other strategies do you think might be the best choice for an equation?" Oh, and what I think you need to work on is to add more detail while recording what work you have done. -Aye<br>

Evaluation: I think I have done a great job with my Maths but I really think I could work on showing differnt stratages next time and I could add more detail about what I am showing you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-262535690733061305.post-16386010985396139432015-06-02T13:55:00.000+12:002015-06-18T18:36:29.649+12:00Reading TIC-TAC-TOE PostWe have a goal either Expand Vocab or Comprehention. I am Comprehention. We have a Tic-Tac-Toe list for our goal so we can practise our goal more and improve while were not with a teacher. We go to two work shops per week with a teacher. We have to go to a yellow and orange work shop on your goal. You have to go to two different coloured work shops because if you went to two orange or two yellow you would be learning the same thing. When we gym to a work shop the teachers sign our sheet of what we have done during literacy time. I chose a Tic-Tac-Toe to show you what one of my Tic-Tac-Toes are during the time we are given to complete our activities. I chose to read The Tortose And The Hare. After I read that I had to fill in some questions about the story.<br>

Here Is My Answers To The Questions From The Story:</div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline;">Questions for “The Hare and the Tortoise”</span></div>

<br>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline;"><b>Who won the race and how?</b></span><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline;"><br class="kix-line-break"></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline;"><br></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline;">The Tortose won the race because the Hare thought he was so much in front of the Tortose he fell asleep. Then the Tortose passed the Hare and when the Hare woke up the Tortose was just passing the finish line.</span></div>
<br>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline;"><b>What was the moral (or lesson that can be learned) from the story?</b></span><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline;"><br class="kix-line-break"></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline;"><br></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline;">Believe in your self because anything is possible if you believe and never count on something that you can't trust.</span></div>
<br>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline;"><b>Write one text to self connection you have made with the story.</b></span><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline;"><br class="kix-line-break"></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline;"><br></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline;">Like the Tortise I believed I could come in the top five for Cross Country and I did because I believed I could and I practiced nearly everyday.</span></div>
<br>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline;"><b>Write one text to text connection you have made with the story.</b></span></div>
<br>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline;">In the book Hero there is a boy who hasn't got much friends in fact he has only got one friend and he tried to make other friends. After he made new friends he found they weren't nice </span><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline;">to him. They Bulled him and made him do things he wasn't comfortable with.</span></div>
<br>
<span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline;">That is like the Story The Tortose And The Hare because in the Tortose And The Hare the the Hare Bragged and Bragged about that 'he is the fastest runner in the forest and the animals didn't like him bragging all the time. That is like when the boy in Hero doesn't like the things that his new friends no to him and make him do.</span><br>
<span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline;"><br></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline;"><br></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline;">Big Idea:</span><br>
<span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline;"><br></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline;">I did a Tic-Tac-Toe on The Tortose And The Hare. I am in Comprehenstion so I am working on Text To Text, Text To Self and Text To World. Text to text is when there is two books you have read and you make connections within the two books about what is the same about the two books and what is different. Text to self is when you read a book and you find something that you have done or has happened to you that is the same or different. Finally text to world is when you read a book and you make connections with the world that has happened before.</span><br>
<span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline;"><br></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline;"><br></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline;">Feedback/Feedforward:</span><br>
<span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline;">I think you did a really great job at writing the story and making connections mabye you could work on making text to world connections.</span><br>
<span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline;">Aalaa</span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Evaluation:</span><br>
<span style="font-family: Arial;">I think I did a great job with explaining what had happened in the story in the questions because I made it clear what was happening. I could have worked on making text to text connections because I was struggling to think of a book I have read that had something's the same.</span></div>
