Projects

For the past few weeks Te Ngahere have been doing our pallet projects. We had to be in groups of 3s. My friends were in my group Tk, and Lesane. We decided to make a tray. We dismantled the pallet, then we denailed the planks that we got off the pallet, We then sanded it. After we sanded the planks of wood we wanted we then had to measure it. After you measure it you can start to build whatever your project is.   

Goals

This week in Te Ngahere we had a choice on what to write about so we could check it and find out what out next goals are. First we had to mark our writing to identify what rubric we were. Then we had to mark it red on the hand in sheet so the teachers could mark it. I wrote a recount about a crash that I had when I was little. I think i did well with vocab and next time I could use more punctuation.  Link

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.
