Kia ora, this week our task for Maori was to make a pick-a-path about all our new learning we have done this term, somethings we have been learning is, counting to 100, new sentence, and new common used words. My pick-a-path has 10 awesome question for you to have a go at!
Kia ora, this week for our independent literacy task we did lots of research about athletics, as we have athletics on the second day of term 4. We also did heaps of research on NZ athletic legends. We then had to pick a NZ legend, I picked Marise Chamberlain. Down below is my research about her!
Kia ora, this week for writing our goal was Use visual language features to engage the audience. We are learning about stereotypes. We looked at lots of gender stereotypes, our group had some really good discussions about stereotypes, we talked out how people think that girls wear pink and boys wear blue. For our create we got to make a static image. Have a look at mine down below!
Kia ora , this week for reading our goal was Make predictions about the text, look for clues to confirm predictions & make connections between other texts and general knowledge to expand meaning and pose questions. We first read an article about Max and Alice, but before we read it we had to make a prediction about what we thought the book was about. For our create we had lots of options. I did a google drawing about how to be a good friend. Have a look at my awesome work.
Kia ora, This week we were learning about our Franciscan charism, we had to make a DLO, I made a google slide with what are values are, and how they are important to our school. The values that were important to St Francis were Integrity, respect, compassion and service. have a look down below at my slide.
Kia ora, this week for writing our goal was Vary sentence beginnings, structures and length. Write simple and compound sentences (by using conjunctions). Use some complex sentences. Use simple and compound sentences with a variety of beginnings, lengths and structures. Use some complex sentences to create pace, flow and interest. Use linking words and phrases to link some paragraphs. We needed to write a perseverance text including an amazing complex sentence, my topic was, should school days be shorter. Have a look at my writing.
In my opinion we should not, you may be thinking no way they should be shorter. But don’t you want your kid to be successful?
Firstly, in order for your kid to learn, they must have a long workshop. Because some kids need more time than others, because everyone is different. Their question could remain unsolved, since they did not have time to ask a teacher.
Secondly, almost everyone wants longer play times don’t they? You can’t have longer play with less time in the day, because remember we go to school to learn not to play. And if we had shorter days we would be playing for half the day.
Lastly, You will have way more time with your friends! Now don’t tell me you don’t want that. You can become more social, and so when you leave school you have friends and now how to make new ones.
So this is why I think that 6 hours at school is perfectly fine , because your kid can not only learn more, but become more social and they could also have more play time! So have a think about it.
Can you find my complex sentence?
