Tourism

Kia ora, here is a presentation I made about tourism in NZ. We had to investigate tourism activities which were based on the sea/sea animals. Plus: I got to work with clever, helpful cousins. Minus: It was hard finding the right answers to some questions. Interesting:  There was real-life earthquake last week which damaged real-life tourist activities based on the sea in Kaikoura.

Term 4 Recount

Kia ora

Here is the recount I wrote  for an Asttle writing test in Week 4.  Our teacher marked all our recounts and gave us our scores. Mine came out at Level  2a   which is just /below the end of year standard for Year Five. I got the highest marks for vocabulary and sentence structure and the lowest points for organisation, punctuation and spelling.

We helped each other improve them by reading each other’s recount and talking about them. We also used Revision Assistant to help edit each other’s story and Mrs B added some notes as well. Everyone in our room likes Revision Assistant because it’s easy to understand the marks/ notes that it puts on your writing and so it’s quick for us to go and do the fix-ups. We have to have practically perfect grammar, punctuation and spelling in our stories before we are allowed to publish them here. I hope someone will give me some feedback.

Paragraph Plan: 1.going to the beach 2.going swimming 3.having a feed

Start Writing Here: ‘’  Yahoo!’’ I shouted. I’m going to the beach. I woke up my Mum. “ It’s time to go to my cousin's house. ‘’ My family was there ready to go. I had my togs ready to go. I jumped into my mum’s car with my cousin and my mum drove to the beach. When we got there it took off my clothes and put my togs on and ran down the sand but I tripped and splashed my head into the water. The water was freezing cold. When my cousin brought their water guns all the cousins were scared of them. We all dived down like a dolphin. Then we made a sand castle. After 10 mins we had to go for a feed. We had bacon and chips with ribs. The bacon tasted so yum and it smelled like roast beef. The chips they were nice but the ribs were the yummiest. Then we went home. I felt happy.

fish bone writing

Kia ora

This is an activity we did when we were learning how to find facts and put them in the right box on  a fishbone diagram. We are learning how to write a report about an animal which is native to China. We are learning about China at the moment because last week was Chinese language week and one of our classmates, Braeden, is half Chinese. I decided to put a photo of my animal on the background of my fishbone diagram and publish it just like that.

Something I think I have done well  is making sure I got the right facts in the right box.

Next time I think I could improve by writing more notes and fewer sentences. I need to just write down key words not whole sentences when I am making notes.

time test term 2 2016

                                                                kia ora
                     Hi.
  My class has just had a time test to see how good we are at time. I got 64%. I was really good at quarter past and quarter to times but I need to do more work on reading a calendar.  

fun friday

Kia ora

This is an activity we did when we were getting organised to run an activity for our Fun Lunchtime Fundraising day.

Something I think we did well  is thinking up an idea that lots of kids would enjoy. In our activity, kids had to see who could shoot a Nerf gun the longest distance and we were so busy that we didn't even have time to blink!

Next time I think we should make sure we all have the same equipment because some kids wanted to fight over the Nerf Guns because they were not all the same.

Here is a photo of all our Nerf guns. Mrs B made us put them in the office for a while after lunchtime was over so that our team could concentrate on getting cleaned up.      

Making a recount skeleton.

KIa ora After we made our writing skeleton on the planning sheet, we had to highlight all the notes and then copy and paste them below in a list one after the other. So, our story skeleton looks like it can stand up now but it is still just bones. Our teacher says writers call this an outline. We read our outlines out loud to each other and they sound good.Here is mine below.

The best holiday

In the holidays, I went to Auckland with my mum and my little brother, Max and we drove to Rainbow's Ends.It was so cool. I got to go on the Forfeit and it was like I was flying into the sky like a plane.

After that,  we went to go pick up my cousins and we drove to the Warehouse. I got a Lego set. It was was Lego Star Wars.

Next, we ran to the arcade and I played a war game full of planes and bombs. I came 1st.

We bought Burger King on the way home and after we had eaten I  played Bloom"s Tower Defence on my tablet then Max and I went and played outside.

My argument cards for my speech.

                                                                Kia ora.
We have been learning how to write an argument so that we can give a speech. I worked with Max and Mathew. We shared our ideas.

Learning how to read, write and understand a one-sided argument.

WE have been learning how to write one-sided arguments so that we can use them in our speech contest. I found this activity hard but Max helped me.

Understanding how to structure and write an argument.

The first paragraph of an argument is called the THESIS.

A THESIS is something that you believe.

In a piece of argument writing, a THESIS is made up of two parts.

Part 1 is your sentence about what you believe.

This is called a POSITION STATEMENT.

In this exercise you need to match an argument title with its POSITION STATEMENT.. Use the ‘Fill tool’ to colour code the matching POSITION STATEMENTS.

The Most Delicious Drug.	I believe that no one should be able to have more than two children.
Cats Are Better Pets Than Dogs.	I believe that dairy farmers are not doing enough to prevent pollution of waterways on their land.
All Prime Ministers of New Zealand Should Be Female.	I believe that homework should be banned.
Homework Should Be Banned.	I believe that chocolate is a drug.
Two Child Families.	I believe that future Prime Ministers of NZ should all be female.
Dairy Farmers Pollute Waterways.	I believe that cats make better pets than dogs.

My Recount Plan

Kia ora This week we have been learning how to make plans for a recount so that it has an organised structure.We had to fill in notes in the right places on this form. We didn't have to use whole sentences, just the important ideas. Then we had to read the notes back to each other and they sounded almost like a whole story.Our teacher said it was like we had made a skeleton for our story.Later we get to add the muscles,guts and skin and then we will be finished!
