The Environment Is Our Responsibility

I tenei ra(today) i roto i(in) ruma tahi during tuhi(writing)time with my kaiako Ms Morrowrankin we were learning about persuasive writing because that was our topic for last week and this week. I would say my favourite thing about persuasive writing is that we can try to persuad the readers into beliveing what we say. Not by force but by choice of words. He mea ngawari ki ahau(I found it easy to) do my research because I had really simple points I was going to use as my reasons. I also found it easy to concentrait on my specific wording because I ignored the distractions around me and focused on my mahi. He uaua ki ahau(I found it hard to) translate my research into descriptive and my own words because the research I had read was quite long and confusing but I found it out in the end and my writing turned out pretty good and I am very proud of it. A muri ake nei ka mahi ahau(Next time I will) try and add more descriptive words and publish my work on my blog faster so that I can finish my fast finisher activites. He tino koa ahau(I really enjoyed) doing my persuasive writing and I can't wait to do another piece of persuasive writing again! Ko te tumanako i pai ki a koe aku mahi(I hope you enjoy)! 😄

Persuasive Poster

 Today in ruma rua with my tuhi [writing] Kaiako Mrs Bava we were doing our very own persuasive posters.

I found it easy to create my draft because I had already planned it out even though I made a few mistakes here and there.

I found it hard to try to come up with the setting of where everything should be placed because on google drawings the page is smaller than a real piece of paper but I managed to fit everything in.

Next time I will make sure to go through and fix more mistakes in my draft copy so that next time i publish I don't have so many mistakes and can get my work done while I'm focused.

Scratch Commenting

I really like scratch because you can get creative and create your own cool games. You have to do coding to make your creation work. If you're new to scratch you can use the tutorials in the corner of your creation that you would have just created. I found it kinda hard to do my coding because I'm not the best at coding but I gave it a try and my little game turned out really good for a starter project. To play my creation you tap the flag on the corner of the screen and they it teaches you a little bit about quality comments and how they work. I really enjoyed creating this with my kaiako Mrs Williams can't wait to use scratch again!😄

Environmental Poem

Today in ruma tahi with my writing kaiako Mrs Bava we were writing environmental poems.

I found it easy to choose what I wanted to right my poem about because I really like flowers and the colour blue because flowers make me happy.

I found it hard to put words down when I was writing my poem because I was finding it difficult to think of some descriptive words.

Next time I will try to make my poems more descriptive.

My Favourite Time Of The Day

 Today in ruma tahi with Mr Barclay we were writing about our favourite time of the day.

I found it easy to get my work done because I was trying my hardest to ignore the person that was distracting me. 

I found it hard to concentrate because the person next to me was singing to loud.

Next time I will try to add more to my writing.

Wild Lab Writing

Today in writing with my kaiako Mrs Bava, we were writing recounts about our Wild Lab trip or the Awapuni School Fun Run.

I found it easy to write my story because I can remember exactly what had happened on the trip. 

I found it hard to go through my writing and find mistakes because I didn't really have many mistakes but I ended up re-crafting instead. 

Next time I will make sure to find more ways to start my paragraph instead of using the basic words.

Quality comments

Today in ruma rua we were learning about Quality comments with with one of my kaiako Mrs Williams because every Wednesday to teach about being cyber smart. I found it easy to write down what I had learnt from quality comments because I made sure to read the instructions to understand what a quality comment was. I found it hard to concentrate because people around me where talking and distracting me.
