Wonderful Sentences.

I have been learning how to copy and paste from our class writing flip charts to share our learning. I know how to insert bullet points and use the highlighting tool.

We know that wonderful sentences need:

• detail (elaboration)
• Capital letters and full stops
• Punctuation (, ! ? “ “)
• Quality vocab - WOW words

WALT recognise different parts of speech.

• Nouns are naming words. eg. chair, book, July, Awhi
• Adjectives describe nouns. Eg. wooden chair, writing book, freezing July, lovely Awhi
• Verbs are doing words. Eg run, walk, jump, skip, chew
• Adverbs describe verbs. eg. briskly running, slowly walking, jumping high, skipping happily and chewing noisily.

EXAMPLES

1. The bird is angry. 

2. The bluey-blackish bird is very angry.

3. The mean, bluey-blackish bird is angrily staring at its terrified, furry prey.

1.The cat is sad.  

2. The black cat is awfully sad. 

3. The midnight cat is shedding a tear as it waits for the witch to return.

Tuna Kuwharuwharu Longfin Eel

This term we have been learning all about  the longfin eel.

Our assembly item was based on the story of Velvet and Elvis. This  was a story about the migration journey that the longfin eel takes. Click here to view our assembly post 

I have created 3 different digital learning objects to share my learning on this topic.

The first is a poster that created in my topic book about the challenges that the longfin eel faces. 

I created an eel life cycle on google drawing.



I also made a google poster to share five interesting facts about the long fin eels.

Waitangi trip

On Tuesday we got to school early and we got on the bus and went to Waitangi so we can learn new things on technology. When we got there we got in a line and Whaea Kerry and Whaea Monika welcomed us.  then we walked in and I saw interesting things like photos of Antartica and the shiny technology laid out when Caytlin came in she showed us some special rocks. That was very mysterious because they came from different places around the Pacific and were 500 to 700 years old and I felt pumped and nervous, excited. 

Then we went on scratch got our avatar and I made my eel on scratch too then at the end of the day we had a look at the eels and one had its head sticking out. One looked like it had a hard surface and didn't look happy. Then we went to the bus and some students got off at Kaitaia school and some students went back to school.
