Writing term 3 with Mrs Leach— waimarama hall

WALT: understand and apply spelling rules in writing. My next step is to probably add more detail. Here is my 'waimarama hall' story. 

                                                         THE WIAMARAMA HALL

My Mum, Dad, brother Liam, Jane (Jane is my Mum’s friend) and Me were of to waimarama for my Nana’s 70th on the term 2 holidays. I went in my Mum’s car with the budgie's’ cage, Jane, my Mum and me (there wasn't any speakers at the hall so Liam and my Dad brought it in there car.) in the car we listened to a CD Called ‘I live in a mad house’ which was pretty funny.

When we got to the hall my Nana and most of her friends were already there. My Dad and Me then went to the river mouth, we started making big sand slides (and also made the biggest sand slide that I've ever seen.) then we made a dam made out of two logs which failed. (Well that was pretty dumb, that it broke.)

That night when I went to bed I could here my Nana and her friends (all of her friends were there now.) dancing to the music that was playing on the speakers that my dad took in his car, I went to sleep a little while later than I normally would fall to sleep. 

When I woke up and went into the dining room; only my Nana, Jane and a couple of her friends were up and in their dressing gowns making breakfast. I ate my breakfast and hurried off to help the rest of my family pack up to go home. It didn't take long to pack because of the fact that they already did most of it. When we did finish packing we said goodbye and set off to go home.

Maths workshop with Mr Wallace

    In maths workshop this term we have been learning to understand types of measurements. This        sheet here shows you "mls" here's my sheet... 

    My next step is to maybe do harder work sheets.

Procedural Text workshop with Mr. Bassett

In reading workshop with Mr Bassett my group and Me have been making string games... I have invented a lane pool... Here it is.

Thank you for watching my video.

Earth to Mars instructions

Task: write a set of instructions on how to get from Earth to a planet of your choice.

WALT:

- a chosen planet’s location in the solar system.

- a chosen planet’s distance from earth.

- planets you will pass by to get to the chosen planet.

- obstacles that may be on the journey, e.g. Atmosphere, moons...

I was an expert.

I always communicate about my Inquiry learning.

Next time I need to present my thinking in a differnet way. 

Writing workshop with Mrs Leitch

WALT: write an explanation about why leaves change colour in autumn

why leaves fall off trees in autumn

why we have different seasons

WILF:  

- a general introduction that introduces the topic.

- ideas grouped into paragraphs with each paragraph focusing on a different idea.

- a variety of different sentence lengths.

- consistent appropriate tense throughout.

- a conclusion that sums up the topic.              Here is my explanation.

Why do leaves fall off the trees?

Trees need (water and sun) energy to grow which they can't get in winter.

The energy trees need are made up of water, sun heat and sunlight which power there leaves, to grow. The roots reach the water under ground and the leaves absorb the heat and light, which gets turned into food.

Deciduous trees lose their leaves but some trees don't because they have really deep roots, these trees also have big amounts of leaves spread out along the trees to get more heat, light and water to make food, these trees are called evergreen trees.

Trees shed their leaves in winter, because there's not enough light p, heat and water so they lose leaves and save energy in their trunk and survive throughout winter. They then grow another layer of leaves to shed again the next year.

Trees keep their energy in there leaves in summer and spring but then it starts turning to winter and the tree thinks “Oh I need to shed my leaves and put my energy in my trunk and store it”

So alway when you're playing with some leaves think of all of what the leaves and tree have gone through to survive.

My next step is to make my work more detailed.

Percussion

WALT: make a beat to the music of "oh a milk shake."

My next step is to: maybe say the words more confidently

Reading

In reading workshops my procedural group have been learning how to make an origami peace crane. You can use my instructions and make one if you want.Here is my peace crane instructions if you want to make it.

    See if you can make it.
