Narrative

Hello for the past few weeks we have been doing narrative writing. First we watched a video clip then we followed on the video by writing a narrative. Our narrative could only be 200 words long.

The mountain dirt road

“Breaking news: 20 people found dead on Cliff Road in the past 2 days. One of the officers on the case has been on the case for a few hours tracking fingerprints”  The officer reports a man in a red mask, goggles, and a black suit walking around. 

Peter walked up to the man and flashed his badge. "I have a few questions for you," the officer said.  The officer asked Riley the questions and he went to his car to write it down. As he is writing it down in the car Riley starts running to the nearest gas station

  Riley gets to the gas station but acts naturally. Karen thinks Riley looks suspicious so she calls him up to see what he's doing because he has been in there for almost an hour just wandering around. Riley takes off his red mask and Karen asks many questions which annoys Riley so he shoots her and runs outside.

  Then Riley ran out and started running to the cake shop. When he got into the cake shop he put on his red mask. Mark looks at him suspiciously because he saw on the news that someone in a red mask has been on the scene of the crashes. He looks at the pictures of his newspaper and it looks like him. Mark also sees that there has been a report of Karen dead in the newspaper. Mark decides that Riley is the person who killed Karen and the people off Cliff Road so Mark shoots Riley.

The End

Perserverance

For the next 2 weeks in whanau time we are looking at the word "Perserverance". First we had to find out what Perserverance means. Perserverance means Learning something new or not giving up. We had to make a poster on Perserverance using Canva.  What's something you have used Perserverance for?

Mars Research

For the last 2 weeks we have been researching planets. The first thing we needed to do is pick a plannet I chose Mars. We had to research the plannet and present it on a slide. I enjoyed doing this because I found out alot of facts that I didn't already know.

Polar bear report

This week we have been doing animal reports. We had to pick an animal that we want to do a report on I chose a polar bear.  We had to find interesting facts for their habitat,diet and your choice. For your choice I decided to do how long they live for.  I enjoyed researching polar bears because I found out alot of things that I didn't already know. 

Something I am proud of.

Something I'm proud of...

The thing that I am proud of is on camp this year in Mistletoe bay I learnt to ride a  paddleboard and a kayak. I am proud of this because I had never done it before and it was fun and easy. I am proud that I did this because I was scared to do it but it was fun. 

Zoo report

Yesterday we had to do some research on Pandas,Lions and Kangaroos for our report writing. We had to find some facts and put them into 5 sentances or more for each paragraph. First we had to reasearch then find an interesting way to put the facts into the sentances.  I enjoyed researching the pandas the most because I found out alot of facts that I didn't already know

Matchstick Pyrmid

Last week totara hubs topic was Egypt. In groups of 2 or 3  we had to use matchsticks and hot glue to build a pyrmid.  The first thing my group did was build squares for the base. Next we started doing some triangles to put up on the sides as the walls. This was hard to build because we had to stick each matchstick together with hot glue and hold it up at the same time.

Egypt

This morning each table in the class were given an envelope and we had to open it and solve the puzzles inside we didnt know what the topic was. Once we solved the 3 puzzles which were an ancient key, A boat and a hippo we had to guess what the topic was. Once we figured out what the puzzles were we had to unscramble 8 words.  Once we had unsrambled them we had to find them in the word search. After that we got given a bunch of differnt maths questions and when we were revealed letters once we got the correct answer.  Near the end we figured out that the topic was Egypt. We had to find Egypt on the map.

A special place

Today we have been doing more online school. My class and I have been doing alot of differnt tasks today and one of them was a poem/story on a place that we think is special. I chose my bedroom. I enjoyed this task because we could write about anything we wanted. Enjoy and stay safe!

Spotlight

Last week in writing we had to write a poem/storytime of a game like hide and seek or spotlight. I decided to do spotlight because we had played it on camp. We describe where we were or the thoughts that we had.  We also had to describe what sounds we hear, see ,and feel. 

Perimeter

Last week in maths we were doing permimeter. If you don't know what perimeter is its basicly where you need to find how much fencing or something that you will need. If its a square or a rectangle shape first you will need to figure out how many metres,centermetres or kilometers it is. For an examle the sides are 4cm you would need to go 4+4+4+4 and that equals 12 so the answer would be 12.  I found this activity easy because I have done permieter before.
