Respect Writing

These past week we have been writing about how the Wallabies lost to the All Blacks but still showed

respect. We all got given the same photo but still got different outcomes. We all did a draft at the start and

made sure to cheek the punctuation. Then we got a buddy to cheek our work and give us feedback. After

that we moved onto our final copy. I love what I have done and am proud of myself for what I have

accomplished.

As the All Blacks shake hands with the Wallabies they look in each others eyes and say “Good game” to

each other. Even if they lost they will still stand tall and be proud of what they have accomplished. The

Wallabies are sad that they lost but are still showing respect by congratulating the All Blacks for winning

the game.

Ice cream you scream we all scream for ice cream

This week we are writing about ice cream. We got to eat vanilla ice cream and then we had to write about it. First we did a draft just to get feed back from our buddy. Then we completed our writing by doing the final copy. I am proud of my work and I know that I have done a great job.

DRAFT
The pastel green cream with the rainbow sweets touched the tip of my tongue I felt more alive than I ever have before. It felt as if my taste buds were dancing on top of my tongue. As the cold, lumpy mixture was going down my throat it sent shivers down my spine. When I finished the cup I wanted to march down to the dairy and by 25 more tub of goody-goody gumdrops ice cream. Even though I am in class I still am having a great time.

FEED BACK
Your sentence is great but always put more information about what was the ice felt when Mr Mitchell open the ice cream lid.

FINAL COPY
Mr Mitchell opened the lid And I could smell the minty sweet ice cream from hear. The pastel green cream with the rainbow sweets touched the tip of my tongue I felt way more alive than I ever have before. It felt as if my taste buds were dancing on top of my tongue. As the cold, lumpy mixture was going down my throat it sent shivers down my spine. When I finished the cup I wanted to march down to the dairy and by 25 more tub of goody-goody gumdrops ice cream. Even though I am in class I still am having the time of my life. I loved the minty flavoured ice mixture and the bumpy, sugar coated lollies in the middle. I LOVE IT!

Christmas Around The World

This week we are here to celebrate christmas and I am so excited. Today we read all about the christmas traditions from all around the world.

In France they leave their shoes out in front of the fire place so father christmas can put presents inside of them.

In Italy they eat very little on christmas day because this is a special day of prayer. Italians share their christmas gifts on the 6th of january witch I find very fasanating.

Dutch people celabrate St. Nichoals day on the 6th of december.

In Sweden Christmas eve is known as as  Julafton. This is a day to celabrete and make partys.

In Mexiconeach night from the 16th of december till christmas day the re-create the story of joseph and mary arriveing at bethlehem.

The Polish people call christmas eve the festavil of the stars. Often the don't eat until the first star apers in the night sky.

The Christmas Food

Today we are learning about the christmas food that we give to santa. Nomaly we give him food and cookies but in other lands they might get out plum pudding or Ginger bread cookies. It is all diffrent in there on specail ways. like in France they leave out a pudding called yulelog.

New Zealand's Sacred Mountains

Today for reading I am about to read New Zealand's sacred mountains and by the title I have found out some questions that I would like an answer to.

How many sacred mountains are their?

Where are the sacred mountains placed?

What are the names of the mountains?

I found out the sacred mountains are sleeping volcanoes that are waiting to erupt.

I also found out that the mountains were once gods and worries for the land.

The last thing that I have found out was only one volcano that was a woman.

We also read a book called The Battle Of The Mountains. I found out that these books are very similar because they are talking about the same story. The battler of the mountains was between the 6 brothers that had there love on the only woman mountain. They decited to have a battle for her love. she couldent stand it anymore so they split up and went there seprate ways.

The Big Friendly ... Monster

This week we have been learning how to elaborate on a picture. I thought that this was quite challenging because it was just a simple picture that we needed to write a WHOLE ENTIRE STORY with. I loved the challenge because I am a person who likes challenges.

The Big Friendly ... Monster

Trudging through the woods with big feet going BOOM, BOOM, BOOM until he reaches a little cottage. “Hahaha what do we have here” the monster said with a big evil grin on his face.

The monster found a cute, adorable kitten sleeping on a pink pillow with white polka dots. Then he grabbed the tiny marshmallow but the white fur ball went meow. The owner came in and saw the hideous monster and then saw the adorable kitten. He screamed and ran out of the house. Then monster said that he was going to have fun.

He took the kitten to his home and turned on the stove. The kitten nudged the monster and made the horrible beast smile. Right after he found out he pretended to be mean and horrible. He decided to go hunting instead from cooking the kitten. “1 more day. Then I will cook it”. He went hunting and found 2 deers, 3 chickens and 1 bear.

The next day he found himself hugging the kitten and screamed. The small white ball woke up and screamed “ MEEOOOW”. They started to become great friends but they both secretly wanted to be more.

The End

Her is the photo that we got given.

Fireworks Are Amazing

 

This week for maths we did an activity called fireworks. It is all about counting the money for fireworks and adding them up. Sometimes you get a certain amount of money and you have to pay for fireworks that are the exact amount you are given. I thought that this was challenging because we had to add up all of the fireworks and trust me when I say there was a lot. Aside from that I think that this activity was an amazing opportunity to find out what I am good at.
