Compound sentences - writing

 Hello bloggers!

Recently in writing we have been working on writing compound sentences. A compound sentence is when you combine two simple sentences with a FANBOYS. Fanboys are not boys who are big fans in the crowd but stands for: For, and, nor, but, or, yet and so.  We had to write 5 simple sentences on a google document and share it with a buddy. Then the buddy had to end the simple sentence using a FANBOYS. I buddied up with Fili and I was very suprised how he ended my compound sentences. If you want to read all five of our sentences, scroll down to see the rest of my post!

The sun is shining	but it is still cold.
It is freezing today	but it's warm in the classroom.
I went to school	but It was almost covered in snow.
I wrote ten compound sentences	but it didn’t make sense.
It is raining outside	and snowing at the same time.
The snow is freezing	and inside was hot.
I like heights	but whenever I am up too high my legs quiver.
The whiteboard rubber is broken	so we can not use it.
Ms Ferguson wrote about compound sentences on the whiteboard	so we understand what they are.

Matariki: Reading Create

Hey there readers!

Welcome back to my blog.  On Saturday, the maori new year started so this week, we were learning all about Matariki. WALT: Summarise and anlyse ideas and information from different texts. We had to watch two videos and 2 texts. Then we had to summarise the important iformation for our first create task. For our second create task,  we to choose two tasks out of the four tasks the teachers made. I only had time to complete 1 task cause of the tight time limit. Please scroll to the rest of my post.

Video #1:

The video is about how the matariki cluster formed in the sky.

The 7 sisters were flying everywhere, zig zagging all around the night sy. Then, their parents had had enough. They asked them to do a favour for them to stay in their  spot and not move around.  

Video #2:

It was a video about what you can do to celebrate matariki. One way is to tell tales or myths about matariki. Another way is to tell what the  people from a long time ago did with the matariki star cluster. 

Te Papa Website: 

Te papa museum is a museum in Wellington where they show or tell many different things about lots of different things. One thing that they show in the  museum is the matariki star cluster. In their website about Matariki they tell lots of facts about when they form, what the different names of the matariki are and much more.

Celebrating Puanga at Ramanui:

Near the mountains there is a school. Called Ramanui Primary. Every year they celebrate the maori New year. This year they are celebrating by inviting all their whanau for a big feast.

Uru Manuka Summit

 Hi readers!

Welcome back to my blog. 

Around 15 people including me were chosen to go to a summit. This morning we went to Horrnby Primary for the summit and I saw around 5 other schools came too. Including, Gilborthorpe, Yaldhurst, Hornby, St Burnadetes, South Hornby and our school.  At the summit we went to classes and some people from our school presented them. The first class I went to was BOOK CREATER. Book creater is a app where you can create comics and books. I didn´t have enough time to finish it but it was very fun to create. I was going to make it about five students who were learning about Book Creater like we were doing just before. The second class I did was about animation hacks. It was very fun but waas very hard to do causse I was kinda late to the class and had to start it from where they were up to. The third class I went to was presented by Karaitiana and Zia. They presented a slideshow about how to make a quiz on google forms. I had never used google forms before, so it waas very fun creating a quiz about myself. The last class I went to waas about canva. It was very fun to use ( And also kinda easy cause I´ve used it before!) and at the end, they got to share mine! Scroll down if you want to see the canva Poster I created!

The bad case of stripes - READING CREATE

Hey there bloggers!

WALT: Make connections between ourselfs, other texts and the world.

This week our books were videos, so we had to watch them instead

of reading them. The book I chose this week was called the Bad

Case Of Stripes.  It´s about a girl named Camilla who cared

about others a opions about her. While she was getting ready for her

first day of school, she finds that she is covered in stripes!

Many doctors come to check her but, each time a doctor comes,

they add a quality on Camilla´s body. This was a very fun text, so please

watch/read this book!

Here is my create task one, two and three down below.

For my first create task I had to create connections between the text I

was watching, myself, other texts and the world. I really enjoyed doing

this task but was very hard. But, I was able to finish it extra

early and finished it by Tuesday.

Connections I made between myself:

• Seen the doctor. 

• Have the same weird taste in food.

• Same taste in food. 

• Had  medicine before.  

• Had pills 

 

Connections I made between other texts:

• The rainbow fish

• Jack and the beanstalk

• Green eggs and ham

• Pippi Longstocking 

• Little miss sunshine.

• The rainbow fish

• Jack and the beanstalk

• Green eggs and ham

• Pippi Longstocking 

• Little miss sunshine.

Connections I maade between the world:

• Covid 19 /  Coronavirus 

• The flu,

• Rainbow

• Mental illness

• Lima Beans

Create Task Two


For my second create task I had to create a venn diagram 

had to compaare the main character in our text and another

main character from another text of my own choice. I 

chose t compare Camilla Cream ( from the Bad Case Of 

Stripes ) and Peter Rabbit ( from The Tale Of Peter 

Rabbit).  For the peopke who doesn´t know what a venn

diagram is, a venn diagram are two circles overlapping each 

other. A venn diagram is way of showing how to compare two 

things so, the area overlapping each other is the part where you

write the simularities of the two things. The area not overlapping 

each other is the part  where you write the differences of the two 

things. 

             

                                                                                                                                                     

                                                                                                                                                             

                      Create Task Three          

                                                        

For my third create task I had to choose one connection from

the world column and look deeper into it. The connection I

chose waas ccovid and I used many sites to look deeper into

this connection, and it took me forever🤯.   After completing our plan I had

to present it in a very fun, exciting way. I think I did very well for this task

so, please give feedback if you see anything wrong.

We haad a fourth create task but Iii wasn´t able to finish cause the third one took up most 

of the time. But other than that, I think the third create tas was my favourite out of them all.

I think the reason for that is cause I think it was very fun looing deeper in my connection and

 presenting it.  Please enjoy your day and...

BYE!

Hair there and everywhere - READING CREATE

 Hey there bloggers!

As the sames as last week, our books this week was based on fairy tales. 

WALT: synthesize ideas and information in a narrative text📕.

The book I read this week was called hair there, and everywhere. It was about a girl named Rebecca who accidently drank a hair growing medicine thinking it was orange juice. But when a prince cuts her hair off, they sell it to a wig company and get paid by them, they live a happy life together. This was a book based on the story Rapunzel, but was totally different from the real story.

My complementary  video was about a couple who was expecting a baby girl🍼. The mother really wanted the plants from next door. She begged for it. So, one thing came to another, the husband stole the plant from the house next door. While he was stealing it, the owner of the garden (who was really a witch) was watching him the whole time. She confronted him, telling him she would let him get as many as he wanted, only if he gave him the baby girl. He was so sad because of this, but seeing his wife getting sick for not being able to eat the plant, he agreed. If you really want to find out more you have to watch the video first.

Anyway, the challenge text was a book called inside the hair, skin, and nails. It explained what there was inside your hair, skin and nails.

For the first create task we had to make a comic strip about our book. It was really fun drawing the characters myself. For our second, we had to create a story and make it into

an animation using these three tools, RENDERFOREST, SLIDES and BITEABLE.

The Red Ball - Reading Create

Hey there bloggers😆!

This week our books were based on fairytales👸. The text I chose was the red ball. It was about two sisters, completely opposite to each other. The younger one was better at everything than her older sister. The older  one hated that. But when she made her envy take over her, she made her sister transport to another world.

I'm not going to tell you everything about the story, cause you have to read it first. My complementary video was about a girl named Cinderella. When it's the day for the big ball, her fairy godmother uses some magic to turn her dirty, old rags into a beautiful dress so she can go to the ball. My challenge text was about a girl, Sofia (from Sofia the first). She used to be a young village girl living with her mum. But ever since her mother got married to a king, their lives had changed. Her mother was now spending more time with his kids than herself☹.  For the first create task we had to make a comic strip about our book. It was really fun drawing the characters myself. For our second, we had to create a story and make it into

an animation using these three tools, RENDERFOREST, SLIDES and BITEABLE.  I wasn't  able to complete this task cause of the time limit, but was able to complete the first one.

ENJOY😀!!!
