Week 1-2 Reflection

Last week for reading we watched a movie with subtitles. This activity was to remember the subtitles you have just read. The movie would get stopped at a certain time and you had to remember the subtitle you just read.These are my results...

Banqer

Also we have been using a website called banqer. The website helps us learn about banking and money. We get given banqer money when we are spotted doing something good or finish something on time. We have a list of top savers and I was one of the top savers to have money in my savings.

Catching a gurnard writing

We Are Learning To: Write a descriptive piece of writing.

A few weeks ago Syndicate 4 went on a camp to the Marlborough Sounds. We made a piece of descriptive writing about something that was exciting or interesting to us. This is what I have created.

Here's a link to a video of our fun at camp.

My haiku poem

Has 3 lines

Line one has 5 syllables

Line 2 has 7

Line 3 has 5

The ice drips slowly

The wet rain pours heavily

That is called winter

The sun is shining

All of the birds are chirping

Its summer to me

The plants are growing

All the flowers are blooming

It is the forest

It pours down quickly

dripping of the trees

That is the  rain

All the trees go bare

As the leaves slowly hit the ground

What season is it?

Made Of More poem

the cloud came from the sea

He wasn't the same as all the rest 

No one could control him

The more he saw made him think

Maybe he wasn't a normal cloud 

Maybe He was a cloud, a cloud 

Made of more 

The Inangahua earthquake

Hitler and the concentration camps
