My Important Informational Rebel Report

For the last five weeks of this term we have been writing informational reports. Our WALT has been WALT write an informational report but since we got to workshops the WALT sometimes changes. The first piece of writing we wrote about a country of our chose and each paragraph was a different topic. My four subtopics were currency, leaders, population and the language. After that we wrote others. I wrote about animals in the second, sports in the third, famous women in the fourth and I am working on famous men now. The country I have chosen is Norway and all of our reports will be about our chosen country

My Proper Nouns and Common Nouns Drawing

 
Last week in Te Ngahere we learnt how to use proper nouns and what the difference between common and proper nouns are. Our WALT was WALT know how to use common and proper nouns. The purpose was to use capitals for the correct words because we are writing reports about countries and Te Ngahere are not very good at using proper nouns.

My Reading Goals

Last week Te Ngahere made our reading goals for term 3. Our WALT was we are learning to identify our learning goals. To select our new goals we had to come down to the mat as a reading group and say what we did not know how to do our what it was. Then Whaea Chrissy shared the document with us and then we had to ctrl c ctrl v them onto our goals presentation and date them. After they were greened on the hand in sheet we were then allowed to make the google drawing, as you can see.

Wonderfully Weird Writing Goals

Last week Te Ngahere made our term 3 writing goals. Our WALT for this was we are learning to identify our writing goals. We had to go to the writing toolkit and find what rubric we are.  I need to learn rubric 6 for organization and rubric 5 for sentence structure. Then we had to check last terms goals and see what we had not learned. I am getting really good at using my semicolons and metaphors, next term I think I will have accomplished them.

Magic Marvelous Maths Goals

Last week Te Ngahere made our new term three maths goals. Our WALT was to identify what we have achieved in maths and our next learning steps. First of all we had to fill in our IKAN sheets. My sheet was a stage 6. Then we had to choose 3 goals that we said we needed to learn from the Multiplication and Division section on the strategy side. After the teachers checked the slide we had to put them on, we were allowed to make a google drawing to show our goals as you can see.

My Magical Lovely Learning

On Wednesday it was Student Led Conferences. We had to make a google drawing called my learning. On this google drawing it shows our learning. It has links to some of our work this term. My Student Led Conference was at 3:00 pm. My mum came and sat down so I could tell her about my learning this term. In am above in writing, reading and maths in the National standards. I enjoyed the Student Led Conferences much more because all the other times when it was a parent teacher interview my mum never let me come in.

Matariki Fantastic Whanau Day

Last week on Thursday it was Paihia Schools Matariki celebration day. Some of the kids from school went down to the beach to see the stars and then came to school at 7 am for breakfast. Then when school started Te Ngahere (my class) did our artwork about our family using koru and kowhaiwhai patterns. Later at lunch the whole of Paihia School had a shared lunch on the deck by the Whare. The juniors went first and we were allowed to have 2 things each and then when we were done we  could come back for 2nds. After lunch we played games with  a man called Harko Brown. We played Maui and Matou (left and right) and we threw these poi things to a partner or two. Later on we planted some Ti Kouka (cabbage trees), Reinga Lily’s and lots more. I planted about five trees. This was the best day ever I can’t wait to see what the trees look like in years to come.
