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.

 

T-shape

For T-Shaped Literacy I was learning about language features. Language features are what authors use in their storys to make there reader´s make a picture in their mind.

I found it easy to find the language features and write about it and find what I need from the text.

I found it hard to find some of the language feature´s like metaphors.

I really enjoyed to write the words in the slide.

Next time I need to use the Language Features Toolbox to remind me what some of the language features are .

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.
