Matariki

We are learning to locate keywords and information. 

We were learning about Matariki.

I found it easy to write about Matariki because I got the information from the text we were reading.

I really enjoyed putting the stars on my work. I enjoyed learning that Matariki is used for gardening.

Next time I can go on online to get more information.

Public vs Private Info

We are learning about digital footprint.

We talked about Public and Private Informations.

I learned not to give some one your adress.

I already knew not to give your email to anyone.

BLAKE NZ VR

Last term Blake NZ visited. We learned about marine reserves. We were able to use VR sets and Explore the oceans.

We found it easy to learn about sea animals and clean water and pollution water look like because the VR sets made the learning clear and interesting.

We worked in groups to make a presentation.

We really enjoyed working together and finding information.

Next time we need to use better communication in our group.

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.

My learning wall

the loaves

 We were learning about metaphors A metaphor compares 2 different things. In this poem the author use metaphor to compare bread to cloud.

I found it easy to design because I did amazing design.

I found it hard to draw because I draw multiple things.

I really enjoyed colour in because I used a lot of colours.

Next time I need to draw carefully and think what I should draw.
