Persuasive writing

Today we are learning persuasive writing. I learnt how to structure a peace of persuasive writing in the order. Opinion, reasons, examples and opinion restated or OREO. 

We were told to write about why we think we should or shouldn't have animals as pets.

Then we all got in groups if we agreed or disagreed and we gave each other reasons why we thought that we should or shouldn't have animals as pets. The skills I was learning are things such as structure of a persuasive,  reasons and putting them into a graphic organiser, look carefully, recognize a reason and a example and also to take a stance on your thoughts.

A day as a cat ( Narrative writing )

For the past 2 weeks I have been learning how to write a narrative. We were all given a topic (A day as a cat or a dog) 

The easy part was picking what animal I wanted to be.

The hard part was trying to pick the right kind of theme.

My goal for next time is to use more adjectives

Cultural festival

On Friday last week we had the cultural festival. The cultural festival was about whanaungatanga and kapa haka.  Other schools came to perform and show us what they do in kapa haka. My favourite part was the food stall because they had things like donuts and pancakes. My least favourite part was performing because I got stage fright.

Waitangi trip

Did you know that this year marks the 250 year since the Europeans came to New Zealand? For the past two days we have been spending our days at Waitangi treaty ground learning about the past when the Europeans came to NZ. 

My favourite part was when we got to play with the dash robots, VR goggles and the museum.

My least favourite part was finding the right app to use to talk about my learning.

My favorite part was making the doc where everyone linked there work. My least favorite part was the Waka thing because I was squished and Sonny and Xavier kept hitting my hoe. Next time for improvement I want to ask the teacher to let us pick some of our items.

Recount Reflection

Recount reflection

This week in writing I have been learning how to write a recount with the proper punctuation and other stratify. We were given the topic something that happened in the holidays and we had to write about it. Before we started writing we sat on the mat and talked about what strategy we had to use and why?

I picked the topic babysitting. The first day we had to write our planning and the first two paragraphs in blue pen. The next day we had to finish our writing in red pen and on the last day we had to polish our writing with blue pen.

The hard part was finding a topic because I have been doing lots. The easy part was orginising my plainning. My next step is to use different punction like " ! and ?
