Te Wiki Summary

Yesterday afternoon Sky and I started this DLO for reading about Te Wiki (The week before the Treaty Of Waitangi). Together we collaborated together and accepted each others ideas. Using the six most important we were able  to create a summary with those six words. We tried to make sure that our work makes sense. Before we could get to work we read a digitalised book to support our work when we start the summary.

Summary - Treaty of waitangi

This week for reading we have been looking at the treaty of waitangi. This was a reading task that we did in groups. Nyjah, Fui, Viva, Savelina and I were in one group. We all read a story on this day came about. Next we wrote the vocab words we didn't understand or wanted to learn more about. Using the words that we wrote down we came up with 20 words then out of that 20 we had to choose the 6 most important words and turn it into a short summary of the story.   

A Winters Day in 1939

Last week Zahra and I started reading a novel book called "A Winters Day In 1939". This is a reading project called navigating novels. We are up to chapter 3 almost onto chapter 4. The activity we chose to do was feedback. I chose three questions and Zahra chose three then we answered the questions and gave feedback about how we answered them. I gave her feedback and feedforward so what she did well and what she might need to work on. 

Political Parties

A few days ago our class was looking at political parties here in New Zealand. Nazella, Savelina, Brooklyn and I worked together to create a slide show about Helen Clark and what she did as a prime minister. We used our smart searching skills to find out facts and more about this important lady. We have done this to our best of our ability.  Fun fact about Helen Clark. She was the 5th longest prime minister to stay in parliament. She cares about people and has always has a positive smile. This was apart of the elections that are coming the Saturday.

Kate Sheppard - Sketchnote

Yesterday Mishaan and I created this Sketchnote about Kate Sheppard and the suffrage movement.  We shared information with each other to help us with our learning. This was an easy task to complete because the Kate Sheppard DLO we did gave us an idea of what to write. Mishaan and I did four boxes each. I did the top ones and she did the bottom ones including the picture. The   answers and the questions are all based on the suffrage movement. 

El cadejo Read Theory

For reading I did Read Theory. I was reading a legend called the El cadejo. This legend is about a wolfs that can be black or white. The white El cadejo is a good wolf that can help travellers find there way and give good luck. But the black El cadejo hunts other animals and even people. I really enjoyed reading this story becaus eit sent chills up my spine as I continued reading. You should try this amazing website because you might just learn something new.

Storm in a tea cup (poem)

This afternoon I was completing my poem work that the rest of the class did on Tuesday. I chose to show you this poem because it a easy poem to learn and there is a lot of rhyming words as well. You will get the chance to read my work and were I got the questions from. The poem that I really enjoyed reading this afternoon was Storm in a Teacup.

Read theory

This afternoon I did read theory. Read theory has helped me on my reading and my thinking skills. I have come along way from when I first introduced to read theory. Read theory helps children from around the world on reading and more! Did you know that you can also learn new facts from just one story. I like using this site in my spare time because I can learn things I have never come across before. I want to know have you ever used read theory?

Why my blog is unique

Our blogs are interactive  websites where you can see other people’s learning and thinking. Our blogs have a global audience which means it is viewed from lots of places around the world. Are you aware all blogs are not the same?

The blogs we have  keep a record of our learning over time and show what we have been doing in class. They are unique because we post different things. For example people from different countries may have different views, videos and comments than me or you.

Do you want to  know why my blog is unique? My blog shows that I understand what task I was given. When I had to post something on my blog for the first time I was really nervous because I didn't know what people would say about my work.

We were confident enough to write and post our very first blog post.  We learnt how to create and share our  work from our teachers that have been  teaching us from year 4. It is great to share our learning with the global audience.

Have you ever wondered why we have a blog? That is because we are all unique in our own way and we have different thinking to anybody else. Are you aware that you can never throw away your blog but you can throw away your books.

About three weeks ago we had to write something called a explanation. I completed this explanation with Magenta. First we had to write a introduction, once we finished writing a introduction we then had to write three paragraphs explaining why our blogs were unique. The last task we had to do was to create a conclusion

Different perspectives.
