Last week in Te Ngahere we wrote a descriptive piece of writing describes the bush. Our learning intention was to use the correct structure to describe a Moment in time. I really enjoyed describing the forest. Next time i could use a bit more descriptive words and verbs. Link

Last term in Te Ngahere we had to write a explanation about a healthy ecosystem. We had to include Consumers, Decomposers, producers, organic and inorganic matter. I think i did well with the order of it. Next time I could work on getting it finished in time.  

Explanation Writing

Last term in Te Ngahere we made animations. My animation had grass, cow, and human. I liked working with my buddy to complete our animation. What I also liked that it was digital, simple and easy. I think i did well is presenting and screen castifying it. There was a bit of humour but not that much. What I could had of improved on was adding a bit more humor.

For the past 2 weeks in Te Ngahere we have been learning to use  language features (metaphor) in our writing. I liked this task because it was my first time learning and understanding how to use a metaphor and when. My teacher whea Beeks said to me “sometimes less could be heaps and heaps could be less” In other words I had to choose quality over quantity. In saying that here is on I changed from heaps to less. “Fonz is a knife sharp and ever so often unsustainable” and this is what it was changed to. “Fonz is a knife, sharp as ever”  our walt was WALT: We are learning to use metaphors in our writing.

Yesterday in Te Ngahere we started to learn how to use metaphors in our writing. We wrote a poem about ourselves only using metaphors. We were not to use the words because,and I. We were to write five or more metaphors. I enjoy writing about myself one of my favorite one was Fonz is a humongous wall of knowledge but still getting bigger. What I can work on next time is to use better metaphors about myself. This is my first draft.
