Anne Frank! W9 T2 Reading

                                                         Hey everyone!

WALT: Locate and summarise important information to a range of related texts. I think this means to take all the texts of information that you were reading/watching then put all that information into a small sentence and to relate with other texts.

This week Ruru was reading about famous and inspirational people! I was reading about Anne Frank. This was so cool and Anne is a really brave girl and I feel like she deserved better. Anne Frank was alive when world war ll was happening. She was a Jew and had to hide from the Nazis with her family and other people that were helping her hide. She lived in a home but down a hall way was a book shelve that opened and that lead into their hiding spot were they hid for 2 years. This hideout was really small and they had to make sure to be really quite. I will not tell you everything but I think you should watch and read about her. Sadly the Nazis found them and she sadly died from a sickness. I loved reading about Anne Frank. I hope I learn much more about her in the future!

Create task 1: For this create task you had to write what happens in the main texts and the 2 other texts and stuff! This was really fun to do.

Create task 2: For this create task you had to make a copy of a google drawing and fill it out. This was really fun because I liked writing down all the facts I learnt! Also there was a part 2 for create task 2 and it was why that person is an inspiration! I liked doing that because I find Anne Frank really interesting. 

Part 2: 

 

Create task 3: Come up with how you can be inspirational. The part 2 is to make a inspirational poster. 

You can be inspirational by following your dreams, never giving up and having a big imagination. By trying new things and staying on the positive side!

   

Matariki, Create task week 8!

                                                            Kia Ora!

WALT: Summarise and analyse ideas and information about the text. I think this Walt means gather a hole pile of information & ideas and turn it into a small text will using all of the information you gathered. 

As you may know we are celebrating Matariki for about a month! Matariki means it is the Maori new year! This is a really cool and good time to spend time with you family and learn a lot of cool things about Matariki! This week Ruru is learning and reading about Matariki. We had to watch 2 videos and read 2 story's about Matariki. The videos were really cool because they had a lot of information about Matariki that I didn't know before! They talked about the seven stars and facts about Matariki. The 2 story's talked talked about Matariki, where they can be seen, when you can see them, and other cool facts! They also talked about how some people have feasts and get up before dawn! This week we had to choose 2 create tasks to do out of 4! I loved the create tasks this week because they are all really fun to do. I hope you all like my working that I did this week! I would love it if you could comment and give me some feedback as well. How and what do you do to celebrate Matariki? 

Create task 1. (Must do) For this create task we had to watch 2 videos about Matariki and read 2 story/information about Matariki. Then we had to get a Matariki Summary template and write all the things we learnt in the boxes. For video 1 it had it own box and for the other video and story's/information. I liked doing this create task because you had to make sure you were paying attention to the videos and story's/information.

 

For the next create task/tasks we had 4 thing to choose from. 1. To make a animation about Matariki, 2. To make a Venn Diagram, 3. To make a word search 4. And to re-write a story of Matariki and change a few things. Out of these create tasks you have to pick 2. 

Create task 2. (Can do) For this create task you had to make a Venn Diagram about Matariki and another thing. This was really fun to do because I liked coming up with stuff!

Create task 1. (Can do) This was to create an animation of Matariki! I did it on a google slide. This was really fun to make because I always like to make a animation. I really like the way my animation of Matariki turned out!!

Pl

This week I really liked doing all the work and i'm really happy on how my blog post turned out. The hard thing for me this week was probably doing the animation because it took me a while to do but I think it turned out great! My favorite part was the Venn Diagram because I liked thinking of different things to put! I hope you liked my blog post, bye!! 

The Wonky Donkey

 Hey readers!

As you may know this week is book week! So most of our books were really popular books. The books were, Hairy Maclary, Where the wild things are, The Wonky Donkey, You are special, When Pigasso meets, The empty pot, A bad case of the stripes and Peter Rabbit! I did The Wonky Donkey because I really like the story. The Wonky Donkey was really fun to watch the video! The Wonky Donkey is about a Donkey signing while walking down the road this song/story is a really fun way to describe the Donkey while singing! And it's really fun to try and say all the words really fast! This week was really fun to do. This week our school also had a performance named Rumpelstiltskin! and on Thursday we had a dress up day! 

WALT: Make connections to ourselves, other texts and the world

I think this walt means to connect to someone/something to yourself other texts (movie and books) 

Create task 1: For this create task we had to write connections to ourselves other texts (books, movies) and then the world! I was reading the wonky donkey. You had to find connections to yourself like may the Donkey is spunky like you! Then other texts like the movie Shrek because there is a Donky in it! And the world like meat, and Donkey crisis because it is in the world!

Create task 2: For this create task we had to get the book you were reading (wonky donkey) and make a Venn diagram you also had to use one of the other books (I chose Peter Rabbit) and out it on the other side then you had to think of things they have in common. A Venn Diagram is when you get something and you describe it then you get another thing and you describe it then in the middle of the 2 circles you put similarities the 2 things share.  

Create task 3: We had to choose a connection (I did the Donkey crisis) and fill in the questions about your connection.

Who is involved?

• Africa, Brazil, Pakistan.

What happened?

• Donkeys today are subject to a shocking epidemic of illegal capture, inhumane treatment and mass slaughter in many African countries and elsewhere, like Brazil and Pakistan, in order to serve the exploding demands of the traditional Chinese medicine market.

Where did it happen?

• It started in 1992

Why did it happen?

•  Chinese medicine market.

When did it happen?

• 1992

Websites that I used…

1. Google

2. The ruru site

3. The video

Create task 3 part 2: For this create task we had to make a animation about the chosen text I did the donkey crisis!  The Donkey crisis is where people are killing Donkeys and turning them into medicine for people.

The thing I found hard was finding information about the donkey crisis as there was a lot of things to read. My favorite part was when I was filling out the information for create task 3 because I was reading for a while. 

Maths T2W7

Hey everyone!

This week for maths we were numicon! We also had to work with a buddy! I worked with Jaydah, KK and Marcus. This was really fun to do but this week was kind of rushed for blogging! Sorry if it's a bit sloppy. Do you like maths? Have a good day! 

The Goldilocks Story!

 Hey everyone.

The Goldilocks Story: The Goldilocks story is about a family, Papa bear, Mama bear and Ba Ba bear. They were walking around and then they saw Goldilocks house they went in their and wanted to be apart of the fairy tale. Soon after a little person came in and said that's my sheep! (Ba Ba bear) She tried to take them but it didn’t work. Then Goldilocks came in a scared the person away (that person was really the big bad wolf)

Complementary text: Once there was a little girl and one day she went outside and saw a animal she chased it into the woods and soon she found a scary house. In the middle of no where. After that she was inside and she ate up the food then she fell asleep on the beds.

Challenge text: Their is a girl and she is super red riding hood, when she puts on her cloak she becomes a superhero! Her name is also Ruby. 

WALT: Synthesize ideas and information in a narrative text.

Create task 2: For this create task we had to draw a comic of the story we were reading. I was reading The Goldilocks Story so I made a comic of what happens in the story. After we had done that we had to colour it in. Then we had to take a photo on the ipad and insert it into our blog post.

Create task 3: For create task 3 we had to come up with a new fairy tale and write it in a doc.

 First we had to plan it to. I have not finished the hole story but I will copy paste it below

     The Andrew family

                  And

          The village

                                 By Amelia

It was a tropical summer day. The birds were chirping and the trees were swaying side to side. The sun was shining through the tall green trees. Every step the Andrew family took the leaves crunched. A little boy named Jack was swinging from tree to tree like a monkey. Shay was amazed by what she was seeing. All the photos she saw of forests were right in front of her. Mum, Dad and Nick were busy taking photos of birds and trees. “I’m so glad we decided to go for a hike” said Dad “yes it’s so relaxing and the kids love it!” replied Mum “Mum can me, Jack and Nick go exploring?” “hmm…” It was silent for a minute. “I suppose so just don’t get lost and be back within 3 hours we will be here looking at the wildlife.” “YAY” the kids yelled “Oh and don’t get hur-” They had already run off in excitement. “Hurt” said Mum “We should make a hut” “We should climb trees” “no we should-” “bang” all of a sudden Jack, Nick and Shay all fell over...pause it right there! Hi i’m Amelia and right now you might be thinking “How did they all fall over at the same time” well that's what I was thinking until… “owww” they cried. They were laying face down on the ground. They sat up and they were looking to see why they fell over but nothing was there. They were sitting on the ground but there was absolutely nothing they had tripped over. Maybe they just lost their balance? But how all at the same time. “How is that possible” “uhhh '' they got up and brushed the leaves off their clothes. They all started laughing “hahaha” “haha” suddenly Shay saw something run behind the tree. Then Nick saw it. Then Jack! “Hello?” “is anyone here?” Shay, Nick and Jack huddled together in fear.`

Paekakariki Flood

 Hey everyone!

Flood: Flood is about a family and their pets! Ama and Lucky (their cat) were asleep on the couch! Mum was in the kitchen with Poppy (their dog) suddenly Amas mum lead Ama, Poppy and Lucky outside! There was a flood. A few moments later they were all safe in a house on top of a hill. This is a true story and it took place in October, 2003.

Complementary: A kid came home and his shoes were all soggy and wet and water was dripping from them! His mum asked “why are your socks all wet?” He told her about how his school flooded! It happened because they were doing an science experiment.

Challenge: The video teaches you what is in a flood how it works and how dangerous it can be. How to moves and where it can go.

WALT: Use prior knowledge when making text to text connections.

The hungry wave

 Hey everyone!

The hungry zone: The hungry wave is about a tsunami that occurred in Samoa and in Tonga in 2009. There was a big earthquake and then there was a big tsunami it hit a lot of villages and killed 189 people. The story is about survivors and stories of what happened to them on that day. The family was getting ready for school and then the big earthquake struck them. It lasted for ages but then they have to go to school. When they were walking out the door they saw that the tide was going in and the ocean soon turned into mud. They could see all of the Coral that was in the ocean. The two kids tried climbing up a hill but then the tsunami hit Ana. She was washed away by the tsunami but her brother climbed up onto a tree and soon saw her head bobbing up and down out of the river he grabbed her hair and pulled her up onto the branch no one in their village died but other people were not so lucky. The characters in the book were Ava her brother Niko and Mika and their little brother.

Challenge text: The challenge text is about a little girl who learnt to make a tornato with 2 water bottles! Her teacher told her that water in the top bottle is replacing the air in the bottom bottle and as it goes down the tube makes a spinning vortex. It also happens in a bath! Then she went somewhere where a bad storm was brewing. There were dark clouds, that means that's a warning for a tornato!

Complementary text: The complementary text shows you what makes a tsunami. They show how tsunamis are formed and what they do.
