Quality blog comment!

 

We are learning to recognize a quality blog comment and give reasons for our thinking. Our learning assets were Mahi tahi and Whai Whakaaro  I had to work with a buddy for this learning and I chose my friend Ekam to be my buddy for this activity.

I found it easy to copy the hands and move them to where they needed to go. I also found it easy to read the comments/ listen to them.

I found it hard to think of why I thought it was a good comment or a bad comment. I also found it hard to think of how to respond to my buddy.

Next time me and my buddy need to work a bit faster to finish saying why we think it was a good or bad comment. 

Reading-Author's purpose

 

We were learning what authors purpose is. Our learning assets were kairangahau and kaiwhakarite.

I found it easy to read the text, answer the questions and create a copy.   

Road Safety

 

 We were learning to create media by making a road safety advertisement for road safety week.  I also was learning to use mahi tahi by learning to work nicely with others in my group.  

Copyright Challenge

 

Human Caterpillar

We were learning to make a human caterpillar with our group. The number of how many people were allowed in a group was 4 groups of 5 and 3 groups of 4. Me and my friends were in a group of three as you can see. Most people were in a group of 5 and a little were in a group of 4. 

I found it easy to put the newspaper into layers of 3 so that when we stand on it it will be thick. I also found it easy to watch my friends do most of the work. Another thing that I found it easy to do is taping the newspaper together.

I found it hard to place the newspaper on top of eachother and I also found it hard to connect the newspaper together.  

 

pic.collage!

 

we were learning to take photos about us going around our school and taking photos of 5 different things on our piece of paper that includes REACH. On our piece of paper we got one section to do and the ones we did were I will use manners anywhere, I will move around respectfully, I will care for my own,other Mangapapa kids,and the schools belongings, I will respect other people and I will keep my hands and feet to myself.

I found it easy to take the photos of my group with an ipad and to make the pic.collage. I also found it easy to find a group of 4 because me and my friends are a group of 4 including me. Another thing I found easy to do is watch my friends do the poses for the photos. 

I found it hard to make up the poses for me and my group because we had to many ideas flying at us. I also found it hard to not play on the playground when we were taking our photo by the playground. I found it hard to take the last 2 photos because my group did not like the first few photos.

I really enjoyed making the pic collage and being in a group with my friends. I also found it enjoyed watching my friends taking photos and being in them.

Next time I need to ask to take some of the photos and stop laughing in the photos.  

 

Reflecting on writing

For our writing we have been writing Narratives. We have been learning to add a great hook in or opening line to our writing and to start our sentences in different ways.

This week we also had to have a smile and alliteration in our writing. This slide shows my hook in, sentence beginnings, simile and alliteration.

We are using our Kaiwhakarite/Self Manager learning asset by reflecting on our learning.
