What Christmas Means To Me

I found it hard to come up with the right words to use for my paragraph to make my writing sound more fun and interesting. I also found it hard to make my creative slide. 

I found it easy to write everything down in the order I wanted it to go in. 

Next time I will brainstorm ideas to make writing my paragraph easier.

My Matariki art

We were learning about... Matariki and how the maori traditionally celebrated it, and how to teach others about it.

I found it easy to... Find the websites that showed you information about matariki. 

I found it challenging to ... write everything down into the slides.

Next time I will... work harder to try and achieve better.   

My Media Graphic

We were learning about how to tell if something is credible information or misleading information and to tell if something is fake or real. 

I found it hard to come up with my stems because that is something I usually struggle with to do. 

I found it easy to find the quote I was going to use for my media graphic, also I found it easy to find the images to match my quote. 

Next time I will work harder on my stems and my mahi to make it my best work.

Acrostic Poem-Sparklers

I found it easy to figure out what my main word was going to be, also it was pretty fun to watch all my teachers fire up some sparklers and give us some ideas on what we could put in our acrostic poems. 

I came up with Ideas like Musty smell, smoky, sparkly, noisy and alot more other things, but if I wrote about all of them my stems would go on forever. 

I found it hard to come up with words to match the starting letters because, the letters I hade were very difficult and weird letters for a poem. 

My stems were also pretty challenging to complete and I tried really hard on them and I think I did my best work on them.

Next time I could work harder on my words, what I mean by that is come up with more descriptive words so it makes my writing more interesting for the reader.

What Makes A Quality Recount

My buddy Maddy and I discussed 10 important ways to make our writing better and more interesting.

Here are the 10 things we brainstormed together...

• In your introduction it is important to answer the five w's who, what, where, when and why.
• Include your senses; See, Smell, Hear, Feel and Touch.
• Separate your brainstorming into different sections based on the topic of each paragraph.
• Make sure your recount is in the right order. 
• Maybe add a 1. 2. 3. planning so you remember what order your recount goes in.
• Add rich language.
• Make sure to incorporate feeling and emotion into your closing statement.
• Try use time connectives.
• Make sure to use correct punctuation.
• Use nouns.

My goal for this term is to use more scientific words, use rich language and not make my writing so long and to make it shorter with strong words.

Rangi And Papa E Book

I found it hard to figure out how to do papa's face on the title page. 

I found it easy to select the colour of items and skin colours on the title page.  

Next time I will work quicker to get it finished.
