Recount writing of the firemen saving the kitten

We have been learning to write a recount. A recount is like a story about something you've done or seen. My purpose was to make the reader feel like they were there. 

The fire men found an abandoned home then he dropped the sacks then used his flashlight. There was lots of burning smoke.

The fire men found a toy. The fire men also found a kitten. He gently picked up the kitten. The fire men used an oxygen mask to help the kitten breath. Then they put a blanket on the kitten.  After that he put water on the kitten. Then the kitten was waking and it did a cute quiet meow.

But when they found the kitten they went back into the home and there was a collar to show  the kitten's name and where it came from. The kitten’s name was Miss Fluffy and she came from Waitangirua.

The firemen searched the whole of Waitangirua but there was no one who was it’s owner.

Until finally they found it’s home. The firemen and the parents were as happy as me in Ngati Aroha.

Reading learning story

In reading I read a book about a girl going to stay at the marae. It was cool when she went to the marae like we did. I was surprised  because that told me about the marae I liked it. I was inspired byt the Maori words.  It was interesting.  I liked the statues. It was hard when I had to read the whole book. It took me until lunch. I was tired and I was getting bored but I stepped up & I kept on reading.  I felt energised. First I was afraid to have a risk to talk I was nervous. I tried my hardest. I was shy to talk but I was brave so I did talk. From now on I will not be shy I will talk when I'm doing my learning. I will do what it takes to fight for the right.  I will try my best to do the right thing. I got to do it because I want to do it right. 

Writing learning story

In writing I have been learning how to write a narrative. A narrative always has a beginning, middle and end and a setting and characters and a problem that gets solved.

I am good at keeping track on my writing and I use the writing process. That means I do a plan and a first draft. I use a hook to entertain my reader. I highlight the success criteria and write a second draft.

Writing makes me feel good about myself and I like getting supported when I'm writing.

I got better at writing longer sentences and making my writing better.

It's hard when I have to do my writing for too long because I get tired.

My next steps are to focusing on my writing and using lots of interesting words.

I am going to achieve my next steps by stepping up to my writing and being an author and making myself feel proud. I like thinking about the words I'm going to use in my writing and using words like proud.

Marae learning

Maths Learning Story.

I am learning to work collaboratively with others in my maths team to solve problems.
I am good at doing my maths because it helps me think. I can do my best maths because I will try my hardest until I do good. I got better at maths everyday because I will do it for my class. It is hard when I have to do lot's & lot's of it because it's too much. I feel alive when I am doing maths because it inspires me. My next steps  are doing the best I can because I want respect. I am going to achieve my next steps by always trying my best. My teacher thinks I am good at my maths because I do really good thinking. 

Noho marae

                                   

I was so happy I screamed "yay". It is the matariki maori new year.

Ngati Aroha went to the marae and we were amazed because it was fun to go to the marae. Ngati Aroha were looking around the marae and when we finished our work Ngati Aroha had lunch. We had soup for lunch it was nice then we did a matariki picture of the Maori new year. Then Ngati Aroha had afternoon  tea. We had fruit.

Then we did maths and sang songs.

Then we went to the mall park to play.

Then Ngati Aroha had tea. We had water, fruit, chicken, veggies and then for dessert we had yogurt ice cream and pink wafer biscuits.

Then we got snuggled in bed. Then we said our pepeha. I was shy to do my pepeha.

In the morning we had breakfast. We had corn flakes and fruit and veggies and my dad was there.

Then Mrs Gibbs dropped us off at school because it was raining.

It was nice & pesfiel. Long ago there was a village it was not good because the sun was going too fast!  

It was a nice day until the sun was speeding. The moon was angry. The moon was going to fight the sun. The moon was tired, the sun was too fast.

Then Timata & Xiah had a plan. They asked Ben & Troy but they were not sure what to do. Then they made a rope made out of chain but when the sun came up he was laughing at them they were angry .

They got 60 brick’s when the sun came up they jumped out & they threw the chain on the sun. It was struggling. They held on tight the sun was getting stabbed with  

his taonga.
