Stinkosaurus Saves Christmas

 On Friday, we did Play Make Create. This is where the teacher reads you a story and you discuss the message in the story. Then you create something based on the message and also do a piece of writing. You can use materials or make a digital creation.  This week Mrs Craig Read the book: Stinkosaurus Saves Christmas

 It was about how even the most unlikely people can turn out to be a hero. I chose to to build something with

 a chute out of Lego. Me and Aiden teamed-up. Our one has a

place to store presents.

Coding of Cicada Lifecycle

 We have coded our own unplugged program of the five stages of the cicada life cycle. We have included some obstacles too.  The goal is to be able to have someone follow our codes to navigate our life cycle by getting from stage 1 to stage 5 and avoiding the obstacles.  Here are some examples of our coded life cycles. I worked with Brody.

Chocolate

 This writing task was about a language experience. Our teachers brought different kinds of chocolate to school and we got to eat it! We tried white chocolate, milk chocolate, dark chocolate, caramel chocolate and pink chocolate. We could write about it in any way we liked but our teachers hoped we would use lots of describing language and our senses.

The Old Church

 In Week 7, our class went to look at the outside of the old church building which is next to our school. We had to write using lots of adjectives, adverbs, specific nouns and vivid verbs so that we described it well. We tried to remember to use ideas from our senses and to write about not just what we thought the old church looked like but also how it made us feel.

Cicada Desciption

One of our writing activities this week was to write about cicadas we had lots of adjectives, adverbs and other kinds of descriptive language. First we split into two groups Mrs. Fletcher's group went over to the back of the school to look at the outside of it
and use our senses to notice all the evidence of cicadas. Well the group I was in looked around the front. P.S we found more. Here is my work.

Writing Wk 3 Term 1 2021 recount

 Kia ora.

We are learning that Basic Punctuation means that you have a capital letter at the start of a sentence, and a full stop, question mark or exclamation mark at the end of every sentence when you do a piece of writing.

Here is my recount about monarch butterflies.

Butterflies

Last week at school Team Moana went around the back to check on the swan plants and see the monarch life cycle .

We went to get our shoes on then we lined up. We started to walk to the swan plants. Some people were grabbing mint to eat.

As soon as we got to the swan plants people started spotting eggs and black, white and yellow striped caterpillars.

Eventually people started seeing monarch butterflies and a chrysalis. A lot of the chrysalides have had a butterfly pop out of it.

I enjoyed going to find out more about monarch butterflies.
