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.

Endemic Birds of New Zealand

This is my Native Birds slide. We did reading projects about birds of NZ and birds feeders.

My Breleant Bird Feeder

This week for Oral Language we presented a bird feeder that we designed. My one is a rounded cage filled with flowers for the nectar birds and a perch.

My Ugly Athletics Photo

On Monday we had the Inter School Athletics at Bledisloe Domain. My favourite was the high jump and hurdles because I won 4th in high jump and 3 in hurdles. For me the worst activity was the 400m run. The schools that went were: BOI collage, Kawakawa, Maromaku, Motatau and Waikare. It was the best athletics ever.

Caring For Baby Birds

This is an activity that we did for reading to go with our native bird project. We had to rewrite it into a procedural text.

My Thinglink

This week for Oral language we made a thinglink on the science activities I did my one on the floating egg one it was so fun to do this science.
