Show Not Tell

WALT: We are learning to show not tell and to describe.

This week in literacy we have been looking at descriptive writing and how to show not tell.
I enjoyed this because I love making up sentences. Do you like it?
You  should try making up sentences like this. I like how it's a mystery. We had to not tell that the cat was angry. We had to express it.

Problem solving

WALT:Answer problems.

This week in Math we have been looking at problem solving.This is my first one. Mrs P shared it to us and I finished it no prob. Actually,I did the first three questions alright, but the fourth I had to get to understand.Once I got the hang of it, It was easy. I really enjoyed this.It's a good way to get your brain going! You should try.Get someone to quiz you with word problems.Good luck!!!!

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!!
