Narrative scaffold

 Narrative scaffold

Last week, Whaea Toni shared the whole class a Narrative scaffold. In that scaffold there were empty boxes. In those empty boxes we had to fill them out with writing. Before we had to write something, we watched a video before we started writing. The video has no sound and no song. We had to write a story or a poem about the videos we watched. The names of the videos are snack attack and the present. In there, there is the title, introduction, problem arising, problem development and resolution. 

Waka Hourua T-shaped

 Waka Hourua T-shaped

In Week 4 - 5. We were put in groups by Whaea Toni. So I got put into waka hourua. There are some questions there that we had to fill out. Some of the questions are, " What was the main purpose of this waka?", " What is the make up of this waka?", " What is the construction process of this waka?" and " What is the difference between waka hourua and waka taua?". I had to find some facts of the internet and put it into my literacy. After that, Wahea Toni told us all to get all our facts from our literacy and put them into our group work. On our group work we draw a waka and put all our information around the waka. Waka hourua is a double hull and waka taua isn't. Waka taua has sails and waka hourua doesn't. Thank you for reading. Have a good day :)

 This week my class did inquiry about their waka they were given to do research about. I was to do research about Waka Hourua. Waka Hourua was built by Hekenukumai Busby. We did facts about our waka and we also did a poster. In our poster we had to do a picture if we wanted to, we grabs some facts from our inquiry. Here is my Waka Hourua poster. Enjoy!

Last week my class and I did research on drugs and alcohol. We had to ddo it with a partner, so I did my research with Mahina. We both had to write in our books because we forgot our chromebook, so then we used the ipad. We had to write what could happen, the dangers, why do people take drugs, what does it feel like,what are the effects, what it looks like and what it taste like. Here is our presentation that we did enjoy:).

On Tuesday, my class, room 5 and room 6 walked from our school to the fire station. Every tuesday in term 4, we are going to the fire station. The first day we went to the fire station, we went into three lines of eight. We got taught commands that they probably do. After they taught us the commands, we went into our activities. There was Waka, biking and services. Our first activity was services. What you have to do is get into teams. I was with Khamani, Mahuta, Quineil, Zowyn and Kyle. We got hoses put in front of our teams. We got into partners but still in our teams. One person had to roll the hose and the other had to roll it back in. Then its the next other peoples turn

Lineage

Lineage

Last week my class and I did lineage work. Lineage work is about your family. You have to put yourself at the bottom and put your parents above you. Then you put their parents above your parents and then put their parents above your grandparents. This was hard because you had to write your great great parents full name and I never knew my great great grandparents full name. Here is my work that I did.

My Goal

My goal

Yesterday my class and I did our goal for next year. My goal was to still play some more sports. Last term our class watched a video of people using water colours and hot colours for their art. So we used water colours and hot colours this term. We first drew our eye with a pencil. We drew eyelashes and even some eyebrows but I didn't. Then we left it a few days later and we put water and hot colours around the eye and the eyelashes. Then one day later we went on our chromebooks and we had to write the reason why we chose this goal.Here is my art that I did.
