PUG FALLS OUT A WINDOW

PUG FALLS OUT A WINDOW

Pig the Pug recently fell off a pile of his toys… But did he fall or was he pushed?
 An eyewitness, Trevor, who is now currently on trial described the situation as we
interviewed him.

“I saw it, I saw it with my own eyes!  He piled all of his toys together, climbed to the
top and started to shout.  Then his pile wobbled to the left… and then to the right, next
thing you know he’s out the window!”

However, in the background of Trevor’s talking, Pig the Pug was wheezing out,
“He shoved m-me!” The words gave us a big surprise.  No questions were asked since
Pig the Pug was taken to the hospital. Trevor was asked non-stop but he kept on
denying the fact he pushed Pig the Pug.


There were no other witnesses; therefore, Trevor was the one who yelped for help.
To be continued...

The learning objective is to know how to write a newspaper report, to understand the structural features of a newspaper report and to understand the language features of a newspaper report.

Extraordinary Lightning

WALT:  Use a range of figurative language to describe a moment in time.

The lightning flashed brightly, it could light up the whole country!  A violent strike occurs again.  Its colors blazed through the deep and dark night sky as it shook the trees, bushes, and houses nearby.  Suddenly, a gleaming blue accompanies the pearly white light,  They clashed together in a cruel way...

BANG!  

A big roar was let out. The wind screeched and cried as it blew flowers down and yanked them out of the ground.  Lightning flared once again, it was brightest one of all.  This woke those who were in a deep slumber or perhaps hibernating.  Once you've woken up... You can't get back to sleep.
What I did well:
I did well on using descriptive language and using more exciting words.

What I could do next time:
Next time I could make my writing a bit longer.
I enjoyed: I enjoyed using unique words.

Treaty of Waitangi & The Land Wars


What I have done well:
Gathering information and doing my best to put them into my own words.

What I could do next time:
Next time, I could maybe add more detail and facts to make it a lot more interesting.  Maybe even start with a hook.

What I enjoyed:
I enjoyed using 'Canva' to create my DLO.  It was nice to use something different.  They're just images I created, I downloaded them and added them onto the slideshow.

Jesus Is Born!


What I enjoyed:  I enjoyed painting the background, from darker to lighter.
My next step: I should have made the silhouettes a bit bigger.

Luke 2:7
and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no guest room available for them.

Safety Tips

I will now share my three favourite safety tips...

1. If the oxygen masks come down, calmly put it on.
(Remember to put your one on first before doing someone else's)

2. Always stay seated if the seat belt light is on, and always have your seat belt fixed.

3. Lastly, remember to switch your phone to 'Airplane Mode'.

Japan

For the Summer Learning Journey I have chosen the country Japan.
Here are two fun facts about Japan:
1. In South Korea and Japan, there is a 'Cat Cafe'.  The cat cafe has actual cats inside to hang out with while having a coffee. :)

2. A building in Japan has a highway going through it.

I'd like to visit Japan one day because I love travelling to new places.  I like going to different countries and exploring new things.  

-  -  -

1. The capital city of Japan is Tokyo.
2. In the year of 2015 (October), Japan's population went to 13.491 million.

3. The weather in Tokyo during January is: 10 degrees (Celsius) which can be converted to 50 degrees (Fahrenheit) This is all for the daytime weather.  The nighttime weather can be 2 degrees (Celsius) also 36 degrees (Fahrenheit)
4. Tokyo is located in the middle part of the country.

5. The main language spoken in Tokyo is just Japanese.

What is a Capital City?

A capital city is where the government of the country mainly functions.  A capital city includes all leaders and officials, because a capital city is their home.

Te Reo

This Term we learnt to say where things are placed in Maori.  We used the words "on" and "under"
For example:

Kei runga i te pukapuka te makatiti
The stapler is ON the books.

What I enjoyed: Creating the class
What I need to work on: Try and go slower as we pronounce the sentences.
What I did well: Working together with Nika.
