Immersion assembly

W.A.L.T: use exiting language

Welcome back guys. So today we had a warm start of from immersion assembly. It was crazy and teachers were dressed up as part of what their team was learning about this term.

The school topic for this term is Now That is Thinking. Teams 1 - 3 is learning all about kites and Matariki.

The one and only  team 4 is learning all about. What Kind Of Technology Did the Maori People Use Before The Pakeha Arrived In New Zealand.

For this term i would like to learn and research about one single topic Who was first man to even invent technology? Because ever since i was in year 1 i would use a I pad i did not how this was made and days  went by I thought is a Chromebook invented. But Mr Goodwin if you are reading this do not stress out for making extreme hard work take it easy.

Overall i think that the new theme for this term is quite fascinating  because i love technology more than paper or book.
Task description: this task was much more of a recount becuase we had immersion assembly and then we did literacy. 

Eating Crickets in Real life

W.A.L.T: write an recount.
Today is Thursday which means we have Mrs Stickland, as i step inside the door i realized that we will be eating insects, I was shocked. I turned my head and I saw the package. Which means we were having our very own FEAR FACTOR!

Everybody was brave except for me i was a spectator, because I was absolutely petrified. I looked at  everyone and I was feeling like I was gonna spew up even though i never ate any.

For me I will never like to taste insects ever. It looks yuck and disgusting. Maybe you guys should try it and let me know what you think.

Task description: today our teacher Mrs stickland fed us dead crickets. i was not brave but other students were. this was because we are learning about bugs and insects so today we wrote an recount.

Nasibah Native Bird

W.A.L.T: we are learning to write persuasively.

What are some native birds around tamaki? It would be great if we could have some more native birds around tamaki so we can find out more about birds

I think that there should be more of Toutouwai Native Bird in New Zealand because i would like to know some of the features and beauty of Toutouwai.

I would also love to see some Takahe because i have never heard of this bird and i would like to find some of its habitats and it behavior much more.

I want less of these seagulls because segal's have this bad habit of ripping rubbish bags.  So i would rather have some more different birds.

I would rather like to see more native birds than Non - Native birds. That is why tamaki needs more native bird.

TAKAHE

Toutouwai

Task description: This week we had to write persuasively. so today we are had to write about native birds persuasively 

Bird identification

Walt: make connections across multiple texts

today my task was to identify these 4 different type of birds that i have written about and if you see carefully maybe you can find a link to a website.

Newspaper tower

Have you ever constructed a Tower before? Well today I came to knowing that it will be a normal day. But when I come in class I saw my teacher sorting out newspapers,  That seemed a little weird. I was kind of convinced of what we were going to do.

When we were being told about the experience I was so excited. I had overfull of ideas in my mind I could not wait to explode those ideas out of my mind. My teacher ( Mr Goodwin ) was telling us instructions but I did not bother listening I was far too busy.

When we got to plan it I turned out that  none of my ideas exploded. When it was my turn Bethan would get frustrated and she would say nobody listens to  me and i would give my turn to her all the time.

But finally at last me and my group mix and matched all of our ideas and came with 1 plan.

As we were constructing the newspaper tower  we made a platform and then we tried to stick all the bits and pieces but it just wouldn't work. We tried different ways we scrunched up newspaper but it would just fall down and we couldn’t  stand it.

I would have to say that next time I would rather write about the weekends to be honest.

Chicken flavoured worms

Walt: write quality introductions.

Have you ever heard of delicious chicken worms?
