Get Writing New Zealand 2019

Last week we have been learning to write a metaphor using the object we got. This week we have been writing the metaphors on the postcard that we have made up from the object. The object that I got was a ship in a bottle.  Here is my metaphor that I mad up from my object.

Reading skills

This week and last week we have been reading a book called catching a space duck. The skills that I have been doing is reading the book and then summing what happened in it. Sometimes I read the book and then I re-read  the book so I can understand whats going on.

Art

This week we have been doing art. The easy part was cutting the circles out of the paper. The hard part was couloring in the paper with pastels. the thing I will do next time will be the colour combinations.

Reading skills

This week and last week we have been reading a book called The Trial. The skills that I have been doing is reading the book and then summing what happened in it. Sometimes I read the book and then I re-read  the book so I can understand whats going on.

Dear bear

This week we have been learning about the solar system and how it works. My teacher showed us a movie about the astronomer sun and how the boys father turned into a comit. When the boy got older he went to this lab thing and turned himself into a comit so he can be with his dad. So our task was to wright a letter to the bear saying why he left and the instruction for operating the machine.

solar system

This week we have been learning about the solar system and how long it takes for the planets to orbit the sun.  The hard part was doing the math and how much times does it take to orbit the sun. The easy part was collaborating with my group and getting the mahi done. When all the mahi was done then we could do our role-play. The cool part about doing the role-play was keeping still because I was the sun.

Things we know:
1. Jupiter  is the biggest planet.
2. Neptune is the 8th planet in the solar system.
3. Pluto was in the solar system but got knocked out.
4. A way of remembering the order of the planets is by saying MY VERY  EARLY MORNING JOG STARTS UP NOW.

why the whales came

This week we have been learning about the book on why the whales came. This book is very interesting because you really can imagine whats going on and it's like a movie just reading a book. The hard part was the hard words on the book. The easy part was thinking about whats going on in the story. The authors name was called Michael Morpurgo and I recommend that you have to read it. 

The trial

This week in reading we have to do an activity on our book called the trial. The activity that I done today was an acrostic poem.
hope you like it.

My art work

Last week our teacher whaea Cara was reading us a story about theses kiwi's and so their were koru's in the background and that was our task to draw a koru of our family. The challenging part was finding a koru that has the right amount of spirals that represents my siblings and my parents. The part I enjoyed was coloring in the koru because I got to use an election of crayons. what  I learnt was how to draw of cool koru without putting the paper on the screen and  drawing over it. The thing I would change about my art would be the color choice because the colors were ugly and those colors were red, orange and yellow.
