My Sleepover Writing

My Basic Fact Progress

Cry of the Taniwha Prejudice Example

I was learning to make a Prejudice example about a character in the book "Cry of the Taniwha" to understand his personalities.
I found it easy because they gave us a lot of clues and facts about the character's behaviour in the book and I also really enjoyed reading the book.
My next step is to try find the characters personalities with less help from the book by making inferences (reading between the lines).

Volcano Art

We were learning how to apply paint in different ways. We used cardboard to drag the sky, a sponge to print the foreground and card to print the grass.

Natural Disaster Brainstorm

My Popplet Reflection

I have been learning to summarise and record my research in my own words.

I found summarising the information into my own words easy because we were working in groups and could look in books and use a laptop I found this helpful for planning my narrative writing because I didn't know a lot about Tsunamis at the start.

Now I plan to find more information about other disasters and find a way to help out.

My Special Place

I was learning to write a poem using my senses. I found it hard because I didn't know what my special place smelt like. Next time I will try to take every thing in when ever I am in the room.

Understanding a Characters Impact

I was learning to understand the character's impact on the story and I found it easy because the book gives us some clue about how she changed Jesse. My next step is to try get more infomation from the story by infering:)

Year 6 Camp

I was learning to use show not tell in my writing and  show not tell writing is that you have to show how you feel so you don't just go like this'I am happy.'You go like this 'I was smiling the whole time we were walking.' And that way they have to infer. I found it hard because I kept getting confused on how to show my feeling in the writing;) 

Counsillors

This is the group of councillors in my school and it is a privilege to be one:)

Camp Slideshow

This is a slide I made about the awesome camp I went to:0

Assembly Certificate

This is a certificate that I got for using school values and showing a positive attitude.This is called a Positive Interaction Award;0

Camp MERC Award

This is a photo of the certificate I got from Camp MERC for completing a group of activities outside or in the ocean :0

Our kids Hotel

Me and my group was given an activity to do and we were supposed to make up a ten star hotel for kids and use your imagination to create it. Here is a presentation about some of the things you do and some of the things it looks like in our hotel;)

NO PARENTS ALLOWED TO ENTER THE HOTELS!!!

My Name Art

I was learning to draw concentric circles and write my name in bubble writing. I found it Awesome : P

Factors and Multiples problem

I was learning to solve a factors and multiple problem. I found it hard because there was so many numbers to choose from, but it usually didn't work. My next step is to try solve more of these problems.

Comparing Characters

w.a.l.t compare characters from a book. I found it hard because I forgot most of the story. my next step is to listen more carefully. 

Handshakes Solution

For the past few days we were working on a math problem on n-rich.

I found it easy because I got a lot of help.

My next step is to try work it out without much help.

I'm back

I forgot to tell you I'm back! I'm just gonna tell you what I did. The activities were, archery, body boarding, stack'em, surf canoeing, abseiling, rock climbing and tree climb. IT WAS AWESOME! I'd like to do it again if  I could^-^

making and Breaking 20

Today we were playing a learning game called making or breaking. I think I didn't do so well because I didn't have enough ideas to make 20.Next time I need to focus a lot harder on it because I wasn't really focused on my math*-*

Year 6 Camp

Year 6 Camp

I am going on a school camp for a few days and I am so excited. I hope it's fun. We are going to do a lot of Activities in the ocean like body boarding, we are going to do archery as as well. I am not going to tell you what else we are doing for now, I'll tell you when I come back. I'll hopefully send some photos as well.

See you later!    

Understanding the Author's Message

I was learning to understand the Author's message.
I felt it was easy because I could find the clues easily and I got some help.My next step is to try do it on my own.
what I did here was that I had to get the information then show that I understand what the Author's trying to say.

I hope you like it:)

My Kennings Poem

I was learning to write a kennings poem about  myself.
I felt like I did a excellent job on writing the poem because it was about myself and I followed the structure fantastically.
My next step is to stay focused because I get distracted a lot. 

My Did You Ever Poem

I was learning how to write a Did You Ever poem.
I felt like I did a good job because I followed the success criteria. I was really happy that I finished on time because I listened to the teacher and I didn't get confused.
My next step is to try work faster because I only just finished on time and I need to challenge  myself by using more interesting verbs and nouns. I need to use an exciting statement at the end so the reader can understand how I feel and get excited.
