Arahura Marie

                                                Arahura Marae

Today we went to the Arahura Marae. It is a Marae in the outskirts of Hokitika. We went there for a school trip. My favourite things were the colour-changing lights and the really cool and mysterious stories. Matua T, the leader and storyteller, told us about a few of the Maori legends. He also told us that the colour- changing lights were the spine and ribs of a famous Maori guy. I really liked this experience because it was a chance to finally see the Marae and hear Maori legends. You should go there!!! 

What Is A Fairy Tale??

WALT: Locate fairy tales in a library using the Dewey Decimal System.

This week in literacy,we have been looking at fairy tales. One of our jobs was to do a doc once we had found out what section we find fairy tales in a library (in the folk tale section).  It took us a while to find them as we thought they would be in the fiction section however they were in the non fiction. I enjoyed this experience because I like fairy tales and I like school. You should try searching up fairy tales! They are really quite fun!!

The Three Billy Goats Gruff

This week in literacy we have been looking at fairy tales. Our first job was to draw a setting map,and to label the settings,places in the fairy tale. See above my drawing of the three billy goats gruff. I really enjoyed this experience because it was a chance to draw and to learn. I never knew what a setting map was until today. Maybe you could try to make a setting map of your favourite fairy tale. It's easy and fun!! 

Nessie Drawing

WALT:Draw a visualisation of Nessie.

                                                                                                                             This term we have been looking at unsolved mysteries. Nessie, the Loch ness monster, is our main target this week. We have been researching her, and there is only one video recorded of this monster. All pictures of Nessie are faded and blurry. This led us to the conclusion that she could be made-up. But even though there are no very strong foundations of fact, there is some 

quite good information that insist that she is real. So this week,we made up our own drawing by using descriptions of her. I really enjoyed this topic. I hope I have inspired you to research unsolved mysteries,and to see if you can make them solved!!

My Wondering

WALT:Find out our wondering's.

This term in literacy we have been looking at wonderopolis, a site which has the answer to everything! My question was "Do cats really have nine lives?" They don't, by the way, that's just a made-up myth. I enjoyed this because this was a question that has been bothering me for a long time.
Maybe you can try wonderopolis?
Thanks for reading!!!!
