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.

I am water

We were learning about a poem called I am water. The poem was about how water travels from the mountains to rivers and the sea.

I found it easy to find all the nouns and make the design. I tried doing maori patterns for my border.

I found it hard to understand some of the words in the poem. So then I made a copy of the Glossary and researched the definition of the words I didn't know.

I really enjoyed working on and doing the design.

Next time I need to find all the language features.

 

Clickety-Clack Cicada

 

We have been learning about language features during Literacy. The way we have been doing this is by reading and understanding poems. 

Some of the features I identified in the poems are metaphors, verbs, onomatopoeia, and adjectives. 

This week we read Clickety-Clack Cicada by Jill Brasell. 

I found it easy to identify some of the language features such as metaphors.

I found it hard to locate the nouns because it is an area I think I need to work on more.

I really enjoyed learning about metaphors because they make the story more interesting and help to create an image in our mind about what the author is trying to tell us.

Next time I need to work on discussing the poem more and sharing my ideas.
