Creative Writing

A few weeks ago Te Ngahere did a creative piece. Our writing was based on reduce, reuse and recycling. In my writing I used original idea’s, alliteration and onomatopoeia. My WALT was to make my idea’s original and I think that I did make my idea’s original. But next time I need to work on more alliteration and similes because it did not use them

Persuasive Peice

In the beginning weeks of term 4 Te Ngahere have been writing persuasive pieces about plastic and the fact about reducing, reusing and recycling. Our WALT for this activity was use the correct structure for a persuasive,  but this is the over all WALT, everybody in Te Ngahere will have their own personal WALT that the want or are trying to learn. My individual goal is to work on making my ideas original. I hope you get persuaded by my writing and I also hope you enjoy

Writing Goals

Te Ngahere we made our new term writing goals. Our WALT was WALT Identify our new learning goals. The reason I chose these goals are so I can become an amazing writer and above the national standard.

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.

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.

Ice Cream Making

A few weeks ago we made ice cream because Te Ngahere (my class) finished our learning plans in ten minutes. We had to do some reading on how to make ice cream. Our WALT was to answer inference questions. After we had made ice cream we had to make a recount about it and our experience my WALT was we are learning to use metaphors, which I highlighted in my writing. I thought I was fun even though I didn’t like the ice cream the experience was awesome.

Tim Tipenes Terrific Day Visit To Paihia School

Last week on Thursday the 11th an author came to visit his name was Tim Tipene, he believes that there is a warrior inside everyone. I mostly enjoyed him telling us about himself and his life. I have only read his 1 of his 10 books called Taming the Taniwha but I would like to get read more of his stories because the have a lesson behind the and the are well written. I can only name a few like Hinemoa te Toa, Taming the Taniwha, Maui the Sun Catcher and The Wooden Fish. I hope he can come to our schools again.

Awesome Amazing Animation

Narrative Story for Animation

For Writing in the past term we have made a character and the setting for it on a google drawing. Now we have done that we made a narrative of the character and setting put together. My goal for writing the narrative was to use good descriptive language, ellipsis and onomatopoeia.

Fictional Character Cronical

Nisse

A mythical man

His bumpy beard

His old skin

His loving heart

His mystical magic

He lives in a cottage in the lost woods of Norway with wolves bears and foxes,

He is eating porridge as he grows old helping the animals and caring for your homes . . . if you give him porridge with butter, and as Jul (Christmas) comes closer he is make sure he looks after all the animals.

By: Lily

I was learning to write a descriptive piece of writing in a different way.

We wrote about any fictional character that we knew and wanted to. I wrote about the Norwegian Santa Claus. After we wrote the story we got to make the character on a google drawing and this week we are making the setting for our awesome magical characters. I might need to improve on my alliteration and metaphors.

Taste Tummy Rubbing Tangelos

 23/2/17

                                         Tangel🍊s

“Crack” as I peeled the delicious tangelo revealing the scrumptious segments. The smells reminded me of springs delightful wonders. One whiff of the smell and I was in love with what it's smells may bring to the flavors. Gently I placed it in my mouth and wow I wanted more and more it was amazing. Juicy orange tasting segments as tiny as they were, they were delicious I wish I was eating them forever. One by one I ate the segments and ripping their flesh.“SHHH” as the juice squirted out of the tangelo segment as my teeth squished it. I never thought I that a round orange ball would be that tasty. I love tangelos sooo much, “I glad I have a tangelo tree at home!"

******************THE END*********************

I was learning to write a descriptive piece of writing.

We wrote about a tangelo we got to smell, taste and feel it. I thought I was a great way to write a story. I worked on the similes and alliteration and onomatopoeia. But I need to work similes because I really don’t really know much about them. Other wise I think I did really well.

I Remember . . .

Tuesday 7th - 8th February 2017

I Remember . . .

Lying on the warm rocks of Russell

As the ocean breathed in and out tickling my tiny toes.

Listening to my sister laughing as the sea birds pecked away at her lunch.

SQUACK!! The bird whaled as Teah chased them into the cloudy sky

Then comes Amy sprinting across the hot tar road.

Suddenly comes a splash of refreshing sea water as Amy jumps to the ocean.

Looking up to the shimmering sun as it warms me once again,

Thankful that the sun was shining that day.

That was my summer

   

I was learning to notice and use a structure of a piece of writing to write my own descriptive writing.

I had to start with what we were doing,

Something that was happening,

Something we did and why we did it

Then we figured out the rest of the structure of our stories.

I thought I did the beginning well by putting ‘lying on the warm rocks of Russell,’

It is my most descriptive piece of writing so far in all the years I have been at school.      

Cool Christmas Menu

The is my menu for Christmas. All of this is made up and what we want to have.I am going to show my family and ask if we can really have this.

Awesome Amazing Action Wonderful World

Last Wednesday we went to Action World for a school trip. We walked all the way there. My favorite part was the rock wall, Tarzan swing,  water slide and inflatable slide. We went in the afternoon with rooms 5,7 and 8. It was the best school trip to Action World ever.

Come See, my Toast Procedure Writing

I learnt how to write a procedural text. My first one is where I have not learnt anything and my second one is where I have learnt some of the text structure and the language features like action verbs and time sequence words.

Come one, Come all to see my Fairy tale story and Comic Strip.

I learnt how to write a narrative last term and I have improved a lot since last year. Last year my narratives were horrible. In my narratives I need to improve using metaphor.
