Amazing Letter Writing

 Hi bloggers.

Lately in Te Ngahere we have been writing a letter to Troy and Gustavo. We are writing them a letter because the came into our class and did The Wonder Project. Our success criteria was, have a correct layout, paragraphs and to make the letter personalised. 

I Like writing letters because of the way that they are set out. What I think that I could do better is add more detail to my writing. 

 Here's my letter.

Have you ever written a letter before?

What is Mahi Toi?

Hi bloggers.

Lately in Te Ngahere we have been doing Mahi Toi. Mahi Toi Means art. 

Before we could do a big copy we had to practice the basic skills like drawing straight lines, continuous lines, curved lines and drawing with our elbow instead of our wrist. 

I enjoy doing Mahi Toi because we get to draw patterns. What I could improve on is using my elbow more than my wrist. What I could do better is follow the lines because they are a little faded out and I could barely see them.

Have you ever done Mahi Toi before?

Writing Explosion

 

Hi bloggers.

Lately in Te Ngahere  we have been writing an explanation on what forces a rocket needs to fly. Explanation Writing is when you write to explain something. I am writing to explain how thrust, drag, weight and air pressure all help bottle rockets fly. 

I found this hard because everyone had to use passive voice which is when you can’t use I, me, we, you, your and our. What I could do better is write to explain a bit more. 

Here’s my writing

Have you ever written an explanation writing?

Movie Making Marathon

Hi bloggers. Lately in Te Ngahere we have been making movies. My movie is about a cop chase. In my movie group it consists of Shay, Warren, Zac and Mikaire (Me). Warren and I are prisoners that escape prison and are on the run. Shay and Zac caught the prisoners. I find that making the movie was very hard because I couldn’t get the actions right and I couldn’t keep a straight face. What I could do better next time is stop laughing in the middle of the films. Here's my movie Have you ever made a movie before? Well Blogger Out.

Explaining Explanation Writing

Lately in Te Ngahere we have been planning for an Explanation writing. Explanation writing is when you write to explain the topic you are learning about. We first had to write a plan about how forces cause bottle rockets to fly because we have been doing the Wonder Project lately. I find this enjoyable because we get to plan each paragraph and its easy. I also find this hard a bit because I had no clue what an Explanation sequence was or an Identifying statement. Have you ever done explanation writing? Well blogger out. Here's my Plan.

Crazy Math

 Hi bloggers

This week in Te Ngahere we have been learning about equivalent fractions for maths. Equivalent fractions are fractions that mean the same thing. For example

½ and 2/4 both say one half. I find equivalent fractions hard because I didn’t really understand equivalent fractions at first and now I understand what equivalent fractions are. Do you know what equivalent fractions are?
