Walt: make connections with what we read and what we have read


Task Description: for this task i made a copy of this presentation and put it in my reading folder. I put in the information to the questions and put a picture on the front slide. I then posted it onto my blog with A Task Description, a Walt, a Title, and Labels.

Estuary

Walt: Synthesise information from across multiple texts.

We have been trying to understand that plants play a big part in the ecosystem of an estuary. The plants eat the sunlight and then the mud snails, marine worms and crabs eat the plants. The shellfish and young fish eat the mud snails, crabs, and the marine worms. The older fish and the birds eat the smaller predators. Then the humans eat the older fish. Plants play an important role in an ecosystem so let’s keep them safe.

Paideia Seminar - 'Pollution'

Last week the Extension group had a seminar. The teachers were going to make sure that they did not do any talking and all the children had to talk. We had a lot of fun that day.  When we made a statement we got to have a lolly from the lolly plate in front of us. It was very interesting sharing our ideas from our research.

Cricket Snack

Walt: Write a Narrative using interesting Vocab

Have you ever eaten real dead crickets before? Because we ate some at school, I think Mrs Stickland might have gone crazy. Today was not a normal Thursday. Today was a day I would never forget the taste of the healthy protein snack.

When i saw other people eating crickets I felt like they we're ok at first, and then the faces came. I saw Daisy could not even have some for 3 seconds. Naomi had watering eyes and Chastyti did not even want to eat it. My turn came and I had eaten the cricket and then I felt all revolting.

From now on I will never look at a cricket the same way. They’re disgusting. I hate to think that people eat bugs can you imagine everyone eating bugs. It Is never going to happen again i think crickets are bird food.

Task Description; For this task I made a copy of a presentation and put it in my writing folder. I did the experience before and yes they were real crickets. I posted it on my blog to a high standard with a Walt a task description and labels, and a title.

My Food Web

Walt: make connections across multiple texts.



Task Description: We were learning to understand a ecosystem and how a food web relates to the ecosystem. we were learning that if a ecosystem had no balance it would eventually fall apart.  The ecosystem is a very good way of keeping life balanced. they say that the earth is a very large ecosystem.

We had to understand the similarities and the differences in an ecosystem and we knew that every ecosystem has a food web. We decided to make our own ecosystems with our bugs and different things as well as just animals you have to involve plants as well. The food web shows us that the food chain only shows one example and one animal so their might be a chameleon and the chameleon eats the insect, but the spider also eats the insect do you understand what i mean.

Maui and the Sun

This is my movie about how maui defeated the sun and made him slower. this is one of the most famous Maori legends ever. It is one of my personal favourites.

Corkious vs Demon Hunter spider

Walt: write narrative using descriptive language.

In a forest of the northern New Zealand the Corkious insect challenges the demon hunter spider. They get into a clearing where the fight is going to not get that messy. Who do you think will win: Demon Hunter spider or the Corkious?

The first insect to make a move is the Corkious the armoured beetle gives the spider a swing with the cork on his back the spider takes really hard damage. The spider shoots it's web at the cork on the Corkious' back. The spider rips it off. The Corkious does not care he grows it back. The Corkious strikes many blows on the spider again and again the spider takes very heavy damage.

The spider has taken lots of damage now some of it's guts are spilling. If the demon hunter spider takes another hit from the Corkious and then it will be done. Unfortunately the Corkious is using the spiders distraction as a weapon and strikes him. The spider has been defeated and the Corkious feasts.

Task Description: For this task I made a copy of the template and put it in my writing folder i did the narrative writing. I published it on my blog with a Walt, a Title, a Task description, and Labels.

The Demon Hunter Spider.

The demon hunter spider lives in the Kauri trees of New Zealand and it is an endemic spider that eats wasps flies and all those other annoying insects. They even eat white tail spiders they have a very fiery personality and they do not like to be around other demon hunters if they meet up with another demon hunter they will usually have a fight. They are an endangered species.

Camp 2017

Walt: write about our experiences on camp

Have you ever been on a year 5 and 6 camp before? Well I have our camp we had this year the year five and six camp, if you want to know about it I will tell you. Read on to find out.

Year five and six camp is a camp at point England school that has been going on for 27 years, and guess who started it Mr Burt and he wasn’t even the principal then. We had the camp in 2017 week six from the 8th of march to the 10th. You may think that we slept at a campsite but we really slept at school on the field in tents. We do this activity called Killer Zone but we don't actually kill we have to do this sort of obstacle course when we throw balloons and catapult tennis balls to these camouflaged mats. We also do kayaking on the Point England beach. We do a whole bunch of other things too that I cannot tell you because there is no time.

My favourite parts were sleeping and bombing in the bombing pool. I liked sleeping because I was having the best sleep I had in ages. I liked the bombing because I love jumping and
swimming so that was really cool. In the bombing pool i also got to hold Miss Scanlan's Go Pro. the go pro did not have one of those handle stick things but that was okay.

I would like to say thank you to Mr Burt who made this camp and the leaders who helped us work together. I would also like to say thank you to the helpers who made us do all these amazing things at our awesome camp. I would like to thank Miss Haare who entertained us while we were waiting for food. I would like to thank Miss Takerei who made the food as well.

I learnt at camp that I can be a responsible and that I can show leadership. I recommend that every student does this in the future because it is a good way to build trust and work together as a team. It is also a great opportunity to help you make friends. The best part is if you are a bit protected by your parents they can come too.

Camp

Walt: tell your audience what you are looking forward to what are you hoping for and what you are nervous for Camp

Have you been on year five and six camp? I have, and it is really fun. If you go to point England school  you get to go on year five and six camp.

For camp I am looking forward to the pools because I want to go in the Jacuzzi because I love being warm and if it rains it will be the best. I do not really know what I will want to do, but I do like swimming. I am also looking forward to baking because I love to bake.

I am hoping that we do not evacuate because on the day we evacuated I did not get much sleep and I felt like sleeping that day. I felt like just turning into Godzilla and I do not like to turn into Godzilla. I am also hoping we will win instead of lose with the points in the Generals.

I am nervous about the concert because we have a weird dance because it is computer generated on dance central 3. I wonder if we'll actually memorise the dance. I am also  nervous about the weather because the weather forecast says it will be stink.

Task Description: for this task I made a new doc on my google drive folder. I wrote why I was looking forward to camp and what i was hoping for and what I was nervous about. I posted it on y blog with a high standard with a Walt a Task description and Labels.

Native Birds in Tamaki

Walt: write persuasively.

Do you like Native birds in your backyard? Well I love native birds in mine, we need more in our area. Why? Read on to find out

Tui are important we need them in Tamaki. Tuis are one of the most beautiful birds of New Zealand and we need more. They are part of the Honey eaters in New Zealand, they are one of the very few birds that pollinate the plants in New Zealand. They can help our area in Tamaki to have more plants as well they will eat the Harakeke seeds and they will fertilise and plant them as well. Maybe that is a way you could get them to come.

The Kakapo is one of the most critically endangered birds in the world. It is the heaviest Parrot in the planet and it is a Nocturnal bird and we have lots of nocturnal birds in New Zealand. It has a beautiful colour. It is one of the most unique parrots in the world and wouldn't that make you proud.e more of them We need to have more of them.

We need to have the magpie decreased because they’re horrible. The magpie are pretty but once you get close to it it will hurt you. It has a sharp beak and it can stab you. I have seen images and even with the naked eye Magpies eating chicks. So we should get rid of the Magpies to keep native birds living.

I think having more of these two native birds will make everyone proud and happy . I think that if we have the Magpie eradicated then we could have even more of those two native birds, and their chicks won’t be eaten as much. That way more people will look at Tamaki as the Native community.

The Run

Walt: Write a recount about your experience.

Do you like running? Well I don't so imagine how it would have been like sprinting, today I had to put my sprinting to the test. Today we had a Race.

I was surprised when Mr Goodwin told us we had to line up. Everyone was lined up except for me and then Mr Goodwin told me to hurry up I was a bit embarrassed. I had to hurry up and then Terry came out of the corner. I thought “Thank God I thought I was the only one.”

When we walked to the field I was wondering “why are we at the field.” Then When we were lining up I thought  “Oh No it's a Run.” I just wanted to do some free writing that was all I wanted to do. Mr Goodwin told us the instructions and then we got ready to run.

Mr Goodwin surprised me by saying “Go” and not doing a countdown. I was doing Ok and then I started laughing I was actually having a good time that was just really weird for me. I looked around and everyone was laughing I was like what is going on I felt very odd.When we got to the finish I sat on my buns and then I fell onto my back I didn’t care if I got a wet backside, in fact I liked it. When we all finished Mr Goodwin put us all in to groups one and two and then  he took us to have a drink I had a quick drink and it was delicious. I then lined up behind Jaedah.

I hope that we can do that run/race Occasionally. Can you believe it, we all had a good time. I liked that run a lot it was really fun. I hope that the run we did turns into the normal run.

Task Description: For this task I had a fun Experience and then I made a new doc in my writing folder. I did my introduction, body paragraphs, and my Conclusion. I published it on my blog with a complete high standard with a Title, Walt , Task Description and Labels.
