Te Reo Maori

This week We have been learning to use better and stronger words to help us get better in Te Reo

Have you ever heard of Alice in Suffix land?Well watch this.

This Week my friends and I have been learning about Suffixes and what they are? We worked through some of our playtime and lunchtime. We had to come up with a creative way to show how much we know about suffixes.My friend Amria was Alice and Sweyde was time.I found this hard to remember the lines.

Have you ever heard of Pacific Paradise?Well if you haven't read this.

This week I have been learning to summaries the text and my response to the book.
My next steps are to use the main ideas properly.

Last week we read a book could Pacific Paradise this book is mostly about the life cycle of freshwater eels did you know that when the female eel is laying it’s eggs they get so exhausted that when they have had they eggs they are so exhausted that they die. Then the tiny fertilised eggs will bob to the surface and grow into leaf-shaped larvae. These will become part of the ocean plankton and will be carried by surface currents to the shore of New Zealand. Then after there they go back into the river.

Now that is why it’s called the life cycle of a freshwater eel because it goes around and then starts back over again.

I think thank the most interesting part of this book is when the female tuna is laying the eggs it gets so exhausted that it dies.

You should check this book out some day?

Scream!

This is my recount writing.I have been learning to try and use figurative language such as simile, hyperbole, pun or metaphor in my story.

Scream!

“Rainbow Falls! Rainbow Falls!” was all I could hear.

Excitedly I screamed as we pulled into Rainbow falls drive thru I was so excited super duper excited. First I got our food and ran straight down to the picnic table.Then my mum,nana,dad,brother,uncle and cousin came down too.

When we got down I put my togs on and jumped right into the water. I started doing bombs until….Something had a hold of me, pulling me down .Help!. I was almost drowning so I tried kicking it but I kept on missing so I screamed as loud as I could but every time I would scream it would pull me straight down.It was a horror scene. I was a cat scared to have a bath ( thats why cats dont like baths because they can drown)

Finally it let me go it was a big huge giant wait it was just my cousin 2 years older than me.She started laughing at me so I said “you just wait I will get you back”.I told her “You just keep on laughing you can have this moment for now”

Five minute later we had a big picnic with chocolate, skittles,chicken but then I put loads of pepper and salt on her chicken and her face looked so funny when she ate her chicken. I said “Who’s laughing now”After that we went to the other side of paihia to pick some juicy pipis(When we were picking pipis I was eating them too)

.Finally we went home.I will never forget that day when I finally got my cousin back for pranking me.

My next steps are to put more interesting words in my story.

The life of an animal.

My next step in poems is to learn about alliteration.

This is my assonance poem.
I was using assonance to put in my poem.
I thought putting the assonance in was kinda hard.
Assonance means in poetry,the repetition of the sound of a vowel.
Now I know how to put assonance in my poems.

Chasing my dreams.

Today Ray Bishop visited our school.He is a Duffy hero.


I think that Ray Bishop is a amazing. He inspired me to follow my dreams and never give up.He said whatever you want to do it nothing is going to stop you. So I want to be a personal trainer or a Olympic runner for New Zealand and bring back a silver or gold.Here are my Duffy books.
