Fia Fia Night

The maori group went to Fia Fia night at Bailey road school to perform for everybody.

It was awesome! We got to have a feast and watch all the schools perform their very own dances and stories.

The performance I liked best was the Bailey road school Kapa Haka group.

They were GREAT!

I liked Fia Fia night so much. I hope the maori group gets to go next time.

Jazire, persuasive writing

Today we did persuasive writing about kiwifruit...
This is what I wrote

These are the persuasive words I wrote to make people buy kiwifruit.

I guarantee that you will be astonished at how tasty this fruit is.

When you eat a kiwifruit, you will be impressed by it’s juiciness.

This kind of fruit is a sensation and it helps you get more powerful by the minute.
In every bite you take, a stronger person you will make.

Rimu Tree

My tree is called a Rimu.

I am going to find out some facts about the Rimu tree and write it below in my document.

This is a picture of a rimu tree and it has a very long trunk.

These are Rimu tree leaves.

They are really green.

Did you know that the rimu tree grows red berries.

The rimu tree is also known as the red pine.

This tree has leaves that grow up to about 7 centimetres long.

This is a rimu tree and it is really big.

I have been writing about a tree called the RIMU!!!!

It is a big green tree with a huge trunk and it has green leaves.

It's leaves are spirally arranged.

Cat and dog

Today we were learning about cats and dogs.

We wrote a diamante poem about dogs and cats, using nouns, adjectives and verbs.

Mrs. Parks was teaching us how to write out a diamante poem.

She helps us learn our writing language so that we can understand how to write better stories.

Today I learnt that adjectives, verbs and nouns should all be used for any story, especially in books.

NOUNS ADJECTIVES VERBS

for cats for cats for cats

kitty                     Cuddly                   etc.

Grubtown Tales

This book is called Grubtown tales.
I like this book because it is about The year that it rained cows.
In this story it tells you that you wouldn't be able to find grubtown on any map.
Grubtown Tales were made possible through the participation of the following people, animals and organisations, it said.

THE GRUBTOWN CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
The Grubtown Chamber Of Horrors
THE OFFICE of the Mayor of Grubtown
THE SHED of the Mayor of Grubtown
Offal's sunbeds
etc.
In the book there were raining cows and stuff.It was crazy but i still liked it.
I give it 2 thumbs up.

I am learning equivalent fractions

We have been learning about equivalent fractions.
We made fractions from shapes, photographed it and inserted it into our document.
I learnt that some fractions are different but they can be the same too.
I also learnt that equivalent fractions are the same fractions.
For example, 1/2 will add up to 2/4. All you have to do is double the bottom number as well as the top.
1/2 = 2/4 = 4/8 = 8/16 = 16/32 etc.
It was fun making equivalent fractions with shapes

My inquiry on the rimu tree.

I made an inquiry on the Rimu tree.  It was cool to see the wood made into a musical instrument too.  I also learnt how to put pictures and video into a Google Presentation.  The cool thing was doing the double writing for the title.

Caring

Caring is giving love and attention to people and things that matter to you. When you care about people, you help them. You do a careful job, giving your very best effort. You treat people and things gently and respectfully. Caring makes the world a safer place.

How I care:

These are the ways I care

1)  When people are hurt I help them and cheer them up with my jokes.

2) I comfort my friends when they are feeling down because they help me when I am blue.

3) When my friends are angry, I calm them down by patting them on their backs and telling them to breathe in and out slowly so their angers can go away.

Home Alone

Alone at home.

Last night was really scary because when my mum and dad left the house only my uncle was home with my brother and I. My uncle came inside to give us some Mcdonalds and then he was gone too.

Kovah fell asleep while we were watching a movie called Seefood.

It was a really scary movie because these two sharks named Julius and Pup. Pup was a really young shark and Julius was his big brother. They were good sharks, especially Julius. He always made sure that Pup was happy and safe. Pup was a good shark because he took care of the eggs that were about to hatch. He peeked at them when night was falling to make sure they were protected because sometimes they fell down and Pup had to heave them all the way up again.

One time Julius was really hungry and he did not want to eat his fish friends but he couldn’t help it.

He just kept on snapping and snapping at the little creatures. Then he got stuck and he whacked his fins until clouds of sand surrounded him.

Then all of a sudden  he was swiped away. Out of the ocean. When he opened his eyes, Julius saw two scary creatures he had never seen before. They were called humans. They don’t have any fins. Julius said to himself. I wonder how they swim. Just then I needed to go to the toilet so I walked softly. I noticed that no one was in the house except for my brother and I. I ran to the toilet and when I came out to wash my hands in the bathroom, I quickly dried them and ran back into the room. Kovah was snoring away.

Then my family walked inside and Kovah woke immediately. It was a very lonely night of course because I was the only one awake in the room.
