Awa Poem

In class Mrs Bennett read us a poem about the river mouth, then we made our own poems using some descriptive words we had brainstormed as a class.

Spooky Halloween Story Starters

Today for our writing we got given a task. We had to make as many spooky story starters  as we wanted. After we had finished writing we had to buddy up with a partner  and debate on what one was the best. There were only nine kids in my class today but we all went in completely different directions on what topics to write about. Everyone's turned out really cool and some people got the shivers from reading them.

And this is the one that I choose...

5 Resons Why Living In The Country Is Better Than Town

With some of our writing with Mrs Bennett we did persuasive writing which is a type of writing when you and another person is debating on something like e.g Zoos should be banned.

5 Senses Writing

5 Senses Writing

I feel . . . the sharp, pointy thistles clawing into my leg.

I hear . . . turkeys gobbling loudly in my ear.

I taste . . . a big gust of a strong, gnarly wind.

I smell . . . the bright purple lavender bushes, while sneaking around them.

I see . . . a set of antlers pocking in the distance up in the bushy hills.



WHERE AM I ??





 I’m hunting out on the farm.

Amazing Taniwha Slow Writing

Kia Ora, this master piece of writing is called slow writing and I did it on Taniwha's. Slow writing is when you use something different in each sentence (something descriptive.) I hope you enjoy reading my writing.

Claws are as shiny as gold.Slowly creeping into the village square.Sharpening their claws on trees.“Kia ora I’m the big scary Taniwha also known as king of the lagoon.”In the village square under a tall apple tree where I sharpen my claws.

This blog post shows that I'm a Stepping Up Blogger.

I hope you enjoyed reading my Taniwha slow writing.

Have you ever done slow writing before?

Respect Posters

Today I finished making a respect poster. The last few Fridays room 4 has been working on a poster each and its all about what respect is, looks like, and feels like. We could choose if we wanted  to do it digitally, hand drawn or you could do a bit of bought. I choose to do a bit of bought so I started by getting a new google drawing and making a big bold bright tittle. Next I made a fresh document on google docks and wrote down all the things about and what respect means I was able to write two pages. The last thing I had to do was find a image/picture that means respect but I couldn't find anything good enough so I made a wordle and it says respect all over it I also made the shape a blob of paint.

Respect means... 

• You have to show respect wherever you are even if you are in town, your school and at home you should be showing respect wherever you are.
• Using the golden rule. You might think what is the golden rule is? The golden rule is... Treat people how you want to be treated.
• Respect is not only people but everything else around you.
• Respecting your community.

If you want to be respectful you have to... 

• Help clean up
• Feed the animals
• Take care of your siblings
• If you live on a farm go out with your dad and help by opening gates, separate the sheep really anything
