Term 2 Wk 2 Environmental Writing-Feathers Brody ROGERS

 This week we went on a hunt in the playground to see if we could find some feathers. We didn’t find any but luckily our teachers had collected some so then we came back to class and wrote about them using our senses of sight and touch to describe them. Here is my work:

Task: Write to record ideas generated by our feather hunt in the school grounds and our examination of the feathers we collected.

Remember to:

Choose whatever type of writing you like using the language and structure appropriate to that kind of writing EXCEPT you are not allowed to write an acrostic poem or a couplet poem.

If appropriate, use a range of different sentence beginnings and start your paragraphs with different time sequencing phrases

Record observations based on your  senses  of sight and touch eg Ideas about shape, size, colour, texture

Check your spelling and grammar

Use basic punctuation correctly (Capital letter to start sentences and full stop, question mark or exclamation mark at the end of sentences).

 Fluffy feather fall

Lay on the ground 

Soft as a pillow it lands

Did someone pluck you?

I hope not because 

Give him a hug

Then back tickle

Him with the

feather

play make create

  In Term 2 Week One we did Play Make Create. This is where the teacher reads you a story and you discuss the message in the story. Then you create something based on the message and also do a piece of writing. You can use materials or make a digital creation. I chose to build something that made people smile.

Blake Virtual Reality

 Last week the people from Blake Education came to visit our school and they gave us a lesson about saving our oceans. They brought a whole lot of Virtual Reality headsets with them and we all got to wear one. It was just like you really were under the water. We saw whales, dolphins, seals and stingrays. We saw beautiful, clean, clear water filled with colourful fish and sea plants. We also saw cloudy, dirty water and bare rocks where nothing could survive. This is a follow-up activity that Miss Fletcher designed for us.

Asking questions in Te Reo.

 We have been learning how to ask questions in Te Reo. The question was :

 E aha ana koe? This means: What are you doing?

Then we had to be able to answer that question several times using different Te Reo verbs.

Here is my work.
