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 Magistic Math Goals

Last week Te Ngahere we made our new maths goals. This term I am working on stage 7. I chose my goals by finding what I needed to work on the most. Our WALT was WALT identify our new learning goals. Here are mine . . .

William Pike

Last week on Friday all of Te Ngahere were doing activities based on a man called William Pike. We also watched a webinar about him. He told us about climbing Mt. Scott and a lot of other things too. We made a google drawing with our answers to some questions that had been set up for us. Two of the questions were related to a story we read earlier in the year. I enjoyed it and wish to do it again. Here is my drawing.

My Reading About the Story: Curse of Being Pharaoh

Earlier in the term, the class did a presentation about a story called Curse of Being Pharaoh we had to answer comprehension question. I really enjoyed making the presentation. The questions for this activity were fun to do while you summarized what you read. I would like to do it again on a different story. Our WALT was WALT answer comprehension questions.

My Fabulous Four Shot Video

Link: Four Shot Video

A few weeks ago we started a new project in Te Ngahere. It is called Lights! Camera! Action! I am really enjoying it and making the awesome films. The films had to be made out of a four shot video. My group Molly, Mishaela, Lucy, Astin and I made our one on the senior playground. The shots are called establishing shot, long shot, medium shot and the close up. Our WALT was WALT tell a story with four shots. I hope you like our video you can also see it on YouTube.

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.
