Prediction

 Hi guys today in reading I have finished and now i'm going to be doing a prediction task. The prediction task is when you have to predict what is going to happen next. What do you think the consequence of Denny helping at the accident? Do you think that Todd and the others will change their attitude towards him?
My prediction is that they may treat i'm differently and be more kind, happy and sometimes people might give him free stuff because of it. Its because he basically saved a guys life because if he didn't put pressure on the person wound he would be dead. 

Blackout Poem - Digital

 Hi guys today in art we have been doing Blackout Poems again, but instead of using paper we did it on our chrome books. We used a site called 'Blackout Poetry Marker', it was pretty fun to use, there was three stories that you could choose from, Alice in Wonderland, Pride and Prejudice, and Heart of Darkness. I deiced just to use one story the story that I made my blackout poetry from was Alice in Wonderland. I selected a few words, the reason why I choose the words was because the kind of stood out when I skimmed across the work. Comparing digital and paper I say that I enjoyed doing both but I liked the digital one more. The only reason why is because it was more faster and I don't really need supplies to do the poems. Here are the pictures of my poems and i hope you enjoy them.

Language Week.

 Hi guys today in wananga we have a new language week. The two languages/countries that we are learning about is Niuean + Tokelau, they are both pacific countries. The activity that I choose to do first was a writing task. Its when you listen to one of the songs that are linked and you have to write something about a image that you see while you listen to it. Here is the image that I saw but in a writing form I hope you enjoy!.

I see two people sitting on the sand on a beach looking at the waves that are coming towards them. The colour of the water looks like a pure cyan and it sparkles like a crystal when the sun is reflecting on it. The two people that are sitting on the beach is that there is one male and one female, the female has a flower crown across her head with beautiful reds and oranges. The male on the other hand has flowers in his hair. Their hair is flowing in the wind. There is also palms trees that are moving slowly around them. Even though they aren’t near them they can still hear the noises that its making. 

100 Word Challenge

 Hi guys today in wananga we are doing the 100 word challenge. What we are doing for the 100 word challenge is that there is a pug wrapped up in a blanket out in a forest somewhere. Now after we look at the photo we have to write something about the picture but it has to bee only 100 words. Here is my 100 word challenge I hope you enjoy

The pug wrapped the blanket around him. It felt nice and warm against his fur but it also felt itchy at the same time. The blanket was on the lighter side of the colours, a light peach, pale pink, and a pale blue. The dark green leaves slowly moved against the breeze. The dog sat up a bit to sniff the leaves. The leaves smelt like it would taste bitter if someone were to eat them. The dog decided to walk around with the blanket around him, the blanket was itchy but it will do. The dog then sat down.

Playing to Win - Fast Finishers

Hi guys today in reading we have been writing summaries about what happened in the chapters that we read. After you finished you move onto fast finisher tasks, the fast finisher task that I wanted to do was where you reread the first paragraph were he talks about sports, and then we have to write about what he means when he says "You can fight a whole war, forty minutes each way and come out the other end alive. More or less anyways" and also how he feels about playing sports.

What I think he means by that is that is that in one half you could come out non injured and at one half you could come out inured or its a win or not winning ratio. When he plays sports he probably feels more energetic, powerful, and he feels happy to play while playing sports. 

Upstander Actions

 Hi guys today in wananga we are doing some more task on Pink Shirt Day. The activity that we are doing is that we are getting an action and then we write a result to the action that you did to help that person. Here is the activity that I did I hope you enjoy.

Awhi/Support the person experiencing bullying  
Result -  I think that the result would be that if you watch the person being bullied and after you could tell them that you saw what happened and you can encourage them to tell a teacher and also help them and support them through out the period of time that they have been being bullied.

Distract - Interrupting the bullying in some type of way
Call it! - If you feel safe you can tell the person who is bullying someone that it isn't right.Leave and Act - If you don't feel safe to step in while the bullying is happening you can move away from the situation and later on you can ask the person who was being bullying if the want help.
Get some other help - Get some other help is when you support or help the person who is being bullied by getting help by other people a trusted adult or a teacher. 

Art - Blackout poetry

 Hi guys today in art we did blackout poetry. Blackout poetry is when you have a book, news paper or something that has writing on it, you choose a page you then circle or outline the words that you want and then it can make a poem out of the words you circled or outlined. During the first session of doing this we started off with doing some normal ones without drawings, during this session we drew something that linked with our poem. My experience with writing these poem's is that I found it really fun and I also found it really fun to draw something underneath my poems. I was feeling really happy to do this activity because I found it as a way for people to get their creativity out. My favourite poem out of all of them is the bird one on the end. Here is a picture of the poems that I did.
