Nga taputapu o te ruma.

Last week we did te reo in our class. 

Then we got into groups of four but some people had three or five.

We were learning about a te reo game its kinda like memories so you flip the card and when you pick up the card you have to guess the card that you picked up.

I found it easy to say most of the maori words on the paper.

I found it hard to say some of the maori words bacause the words were too long.

I really enjoyed doing the te reo so I can learn how to talk maori a little bit.

E haere ana au ki te toa.

This week we did a slide show of what we will mostly get at the supermarket and then we had to write our food in English then we had to write it in Maori.

I found it easy to make my shopping list to put in my presentation.

I found it hard to find the correct Maori words for my shopping list.

I really enjoyed putting my presentation together.

Next time I need to pick the right Maori words for my presentation.

Show Don't Tell

WALT makes inferences about a character's feelings.

This week we read a story called Timo and his shorts. It was about this boy called Timo and he got some new shorts so he can go for a swim at school with his friends. Then he had a big problem when he got to the changing shed to get changed but his shorts were gone.

I found it easy to talk about Timo’s face,body,and voice.

I really enjoyed talking about Timo’s reactions and feelings and what he might be thinking.

epro 8

 During this week my class did this rotation thing everyday after morning tea. Yesterday my class did epro 8 and in my team was Dallas,Ezekiel,Devontae, and me. When the teacher gave us the instructions we had to build a dog kennel. We were learning about e pro 8 and how to build the dog kennel.

First, my team and I had to think what we had to do with the floor and then tried to make the legs so our dog house could stand properly.

Secondly, when my team was building we were in front of everyone because we were on criteria three and the dog house was nearly taller than me.

Finally, when the build was done we had to break the whole thing down and put the parts in their correct spots.  

I found it easy to grab the nuts and bolts and give them to Dallas.

I found it hard to put the parts together.

I really enjoyed building the dog house with my team.

Next time I need to be more understanding so my team knows what I'm saying.

Acrostic poem

 During week 1 my class and I went into lockdown. We had to do online school work and we had to do our work at home. It was boring because we had no cross country to do.

In the first week of lockdown I was getting bored. I couldn't wait to go to school but we got stuck in a lockdown for a few weeks and carried on with online school.

Second, while we were in lockdown I always tried to do something to entertain myself so me, my mum and my sister went for a walk down to The Aerodrome. Then we walked down there for six kilometers. When we got back I checked my chromebook to see if I had class but it took me one minute to find out that I had no class.

Finally: Now we are in Level two I can go back to school to see my friend’s.

We were learning about an Acrostic poem.

I found it easy to write while I was in lockdown.

I found it hard to put language features in my writing.

I really enjoyed doing online school so the can explain how we can improve my writing

Next time I need to do more work for maths and reading so I can move the little man up into the air.

Patly cloudly

We are learning to infer and make predictions when we are reading.

This week me and my class did Literacy. In Literacy we watched a video called Partly Cloudy. The whole class watched the video and then we went to our tables to put our information in our slide of T-Shaped. 

We were learning how to make inferences using the book Wheke.

I found it easy to put information in my Literacy slide.

I found hard to make some inferences.

I really enjoyed watching the video to get my information.

Next time I need to try thinking about the clues in the text to help me more.
