Nga taputapu o te ruma

 

We were pronouncing and learning about some maori words that we did

not know.

I found it easy to pronounce most of the words that were in maori because they are easy without looking at them.

I found it hard to guess the long maori words because I was not looking at the words.

I really enjoyed creating my recording of the Maori words, because some are easy to pronounce in my recording.

Next time I need to learn more maori words Because I already know most of them.

Te reo Maori Shopping list

 

We were learning about what we commonly get in the shop.
We had to write the groceries in Maori. We also had to put a audio for the groceries.

I found it easy to write the groceries that I normally get in the shop.

I found it hard to translate the groceries names in Maori.

I really enjoyed searching up the items that I had to put in the trolley.

 

Something Vanished

 

His face was grouchy and his eyebrows went

Narrow.

His arms fell on his hips as he asked the dog “Where is my

Shorts?¨

He roared with excitement and said to his dad he couldn't find his socks.

He looked worried so he asked his dad “where are my socks”?

His elbows sank to his stomach and said to dad “are my socks in the laundry?”

We were learning about how to write using Show Don´t Tell. Show don´t tell is when you talk about his voice body and face.

I found it easy to describe other words than mad or vanished

I found it hard to figure out what his voice sounds like.

I really enjoyed writing about the characters actions and what they were saying.

Next time I need to write more about how they are feeling.

Show don`t tell

 

WALT: to make inferences about the character.

His eyes closed up and he was back tracking for his shorts and they were not anywhere.

He scratched his head and his legs were not in motion. He was feeling unhappy.

He whispered quietly to himself,"where are my shorts?".

We were learning about show don`t tell to make inferences about what the characters are feeling.

I found it easy to talk about Timo`s face body and voice.

I found it hard to find different words to backtracking.

I really enjoyed figuring what Timo might be thinking about and feeling.

Movie making: Pencil

This week we have been learning about making movies using We video. We learned about different camera angles you can use in your movies to make them more interesting. We learned how to edit our own videos using we video. We used the cutting function so we could cut out what we didn't want. Some of us used audio in our movies.

I found it easy to cut out the parts I didn't want.

I found it challenging to use different angles and getting the timing right.

I really enjoyed making my first movie that was quite interesting. Also it was better than I thought.

Next time I need to be better at making longer movies without rushing. I could do better edits and take my time.

Maths

 
Today we have done a maths warm up with the class. When we are done we had to take a screenshot of our progress that we made.

I found it easy to do additions and division on the maths warm up.

I found it hard to try get up to 100% on my maths.

I really enjoyed doing the warm up that we had to do.

Next time I need to try lower how much time I have used and get 100% on my maths.

Partly Cloudy

We were learning about Inferences in our T shaped literacy.

We watched a video called Partly Cloudy. It is about a cloud that is different to the other clouds.

I found it easy to write what it shows in the video, because it shows a lot of clues about inferences.

I found it hard to explain the ideas from the video to my partly cloudy inference, because I had trouble connecting my thoughts.

I really enjoyed the part where I make ideas that I made myself.
