Camp Collage

LI: To create a collage of photos to represent our experience at Kokako Lodge. Also showing what we had done in the past.

I made a collage about our camp. 

 A collage is putting a lot of photos together, this makes a piece of art of yourself. The collage I made was photos of me at Kokako Lodge camp. The reason we were able to take photos was because brang phones, which were given out to each group. We all took photos for each activities

Afterwards, we used the photos we took to make our collage. The collage was fun to make because of the things we did for the activities. If I was able to go to camp again I would go.

I enjoyed this activity because we can have memories of ourselves when we went camping.

Explanation Writing

LI: To understand the structure and language features in an explanation

How did Goldie Locks upset the Bears family?

To upset someone is to make someone unhappy, disappointed, or in a state of worry. In the story of the Goldilocks and the Three Bears she made disappointing decisions. Above all, have you ever made someone in a state of stress?

In the fairytale of the Goldilocks and the Three Bear. Goldie Locks makes some disappointing bold moves with this in mind. Goldilocks’ curiosity took over and she went into the house of the three Bears. Goldilocks sat on a chair which was just right then suddenly it collapsed, the smell of the porridge made her hungry so she ate all of the porridge. After that porridge she felt tired so she found the three Bears beds but she slept on the bed that was just right. However when she was having a cosy nap the three Bears walked into their house, looking devastated at the shocking mess in the house.

If someone came into my house I would be shocked and terrified, if someone broke my favourite chair I would be angry, if someone ate my food, I would be furious and if someone was sleeping in my bed I would be aggravated.  

To help us understand how to write an explanation we looked at the purpose, the structure (what it looks like) and the language features. An explanation tells us how or why something is the way it is. To help us understand this we learnt about cause and effect. Cause and effect is an action and a reaction. We used the story of Goldilocks and the 3 Bears to help us understand this. Here is our explanation that describes how Goldilocks upset the Bear family.

Treaty of Waitangi

LI: To explore the world in 1840 and the art of the Treaty

This week we learned what they would have been like in 1840. Did you know that the Treaty of Waitangi would have been cancelled because of William Hobson being sick. After this we identified some of the key people and their role in the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi. I found it interesting that there was still slavery in America in 1840, it still carried on for another 25 years. We then gathered all our information to help us read the event of the Treaty of Waitangi. Then we looked at the picture seeing what could be happening at that time of the event.

However the image above was an impression of Marcus King , the painter of the picture. It was nearly a hundred years of his impression but it was only 98 years of the impression.

Shuttle Orbiter Quiz

I learned how to make a quiz.

First I had to plan out with my group on whos doing what. We had to see what order the questions go in for our quiz to be perfect to do. We also reasearched on the answers so were able to make sure that the answers are right, we were kinda struggling on trying to find the right answer.

Next we started to add all our planning stuff onto our quiz. I also needed to find out how to do coding for our quiz so I asked Mr Wong for help about how to code. After doing everything that was needed we tested the quiz for it to be good. After thinking its good we showed Mr Wong our quiz. At the end it needed a few fixs for it to be good.

I enjoyed this activity because I got to reasearch a lot about shuttle orbiters. I did well on my coding.

Commanding Conversation

I did a task called commanding conversation.

I made a conversation for a son and a dad. I used different things for whenever I was making up the talk.

I enjoyed this activity because I got to make up a conversation. I did well on this task. I need to imrpove on rememebering to use question marks and commors.

Te Reo Maori

I learnt Te Reo Maori.

First we had to talk in Maori for 8 minutes.

Next we learnt how to say new words in Maori. We also had to tell the time. We only got 3 slips on using one english word.

I enjoyed this task because I learnt how to talk in Maori for 8 minutes. I need to improve on telling the time. I did well on saying the new words.

Visualising

Visualising is used to make an image in your head about the story.

Visualising is used for books that don’t have images in them so you can make an image in your head. For example, A story about a pirnsses on a castle stuck at the top, the knight has to save the princess.

Visualising is used for many different types of stories.

Identifying Poetry

There are four different types of poetry. The four types of poetry are Haiku, Diamante, Limerick, and Cinquain.

A Haiku is in 3 lines, A haiku also tells a moment in time. The syllable count for haiku is 5, 7, 5.

An Cinquain has 5 lines, it is a story or description using a syllable 2, 4, 6, 8, 2.

A Limerick has 5 lines and the topic needs to be something that is normally humorous, and is on the 2nd 5th and 8th beats.

An Diamante has 7 lines, the word count goes in 1, 2, 3, 4, 3, 2, 1, it is just like a reflection, for example a person standing in front of a mirror. which makes it in the shape of a diamond. It uses nouns, adjectives and verbs.
