Elisions

In Te Maunga we have been learning about the election. We learnt what policies and the parties are. My favorite party is labor  because there policies says for your first year in university is free! To help us figure out what policies, billboards and lots of others are, Whaea Becks created iwa ( nine ) sheets of paper to help us understand what billboards and policies and lots of others are!!

To explain our learning we had to make a presentation about what we were learning.

Here is my presentation,

I hope you enjoy it:  

For the Birds

In Te Maunga we have been writing a story from a character's point of view. The story is about birds who meets another big bird, and the little birds were very mean and bulled him. We had to retell the story from a character's point of view. I think I did well on focusing on the success criteria. I think that next time I could add some metaphors and similes.

I hope you enjoy it

Here is my writing:

As I sat on the power line my brother came and sat on it too. I didn’t want him there so I punched him and he punched me back. All of a sudden all of my other siblings dropped down onto the power line. This made me really mad so I started punching them and my siblings started punching me back. We started a fight, suddenly a loud noise made us freeze, I turned around and I saw a BIG version of me. At first I was afraid but as I looked him I thought he looked DISGUSTING and HIDEOUS!!!

I started laughing then everyone started laughing. Then I imitated him. Lots of my other little chubby brothers started imitating him. Just then the big bird flew over to us and plopped down in the middle of us. I started screaming “ get off, get off” but the big bird lost it’s balance and fell forward. My brother and I had a great idea we started pecking at the big  bird's feet. Everyone started cheering “do it, do it.” Suddenly one of brothers noticed that the big bird's head was like three inches off the ground and started shouting madly “ he is three inches off the ground,  he is three inches off the ground!!” everyone looked down and gasped. . .

He was three inches off the ground. But the two peckers didn’t notice they just kept on peeking and suddenly PING the big bird fell off. But my brothers and I went ZOOMING into space and ZOOMING back down to the ground. The little birds were naked and they ran into the bush. In the bush the brothers regretted what they had done. “NOW we have to grow feathers AGAIN!!”

friendship blog post

In Te Maunga our we have been learning about relation and friendship's. I think that we did well at working and cooperating in our groups. I think that we could be a little bit faster.    
dose everyone know what good friends are:

Friends are very important people in our lives. A friend is someone who shares our good times, plays with us and listens to us. A friend is someone who helps us out in times of trouble. Sometimes friendships change. Sometimes we meet people and make new friends.

Scotland

In Te Maunga we were learning about celebrations around the world. Bella and I did a presentation to show our learning. Every one had to chose a country to work on in pairs. Bella and I chose Scotland. What I need to do next is add what the celebration is and what we did well is that we finished.

My Pepeha

 In Te Maunga I have been working on something that I want to show you...  
 it is my Pepeha.

A Pepeha is how your ancestors came to New Zealand, who you are, and where you are from.

I have done it on a Powtoon, which is a slide show and it automatically moves from slide to slide when you press play. You can also add music and moving pictures to make your Powtoon more interesting and fun.  I think I did really well doing this activity because I worked really hard a finished it on time. I think I could do better next time I could do more slides and make it more interesting.                                    

Welcome to your very own blog for learning. We look forward to seeing you share your learning with your teachers, your school, your family and friends anywhere.
