To Waste Our Life

Hi, this week Me and my Reading Group have been rewriting a News Article off Kiwi kids News.  Its Called ¨To Waste Our Life¨, by a year 9 student called Ariana Hunt.  It's about Online shopping and/or the Online shoppers.  If you want to change and reduce the plastic in our oceans I recommend, NOT, Online shopping.  Here is my writing...

Online shopping is good but bad.  It's good because it´s ´easy´ and ´fast´, But it's bad for the environment.  Did you know the packaging of online shopping kills, ONLY, 100,000 animals per year? Its been going on for a while now, and we don't want it to continue in the future,  You'd think it's good,  not wasting petrol to drive ´unnecessary´ places, but actually, it's worse.  The things you order get coated in plastic, and more plastic and petrol is wasted to get it to you.  People started doing online shopping last year in lockdown because they couldn't go out of their house´s.  Occasionally the Item you buy says the box is, COMPOSTABLE in big bold letters, but it doesn't break down in the compost.  It just hurts more of our environment.  Plastic is recyclable!!!

Polar Animals: The Snow Fox

This week my quick write was based on polar animals, and for me, I chose snow foxes.

You might be wondering why I didn't choose a ¨cooler¨ animal, but you'll soon find out.  Their more curious, and sneaky, than we think.  

I hope you like my slide! Bye.

There's writing on the slide, Read it!

My Sign/Tribute Art

Recently my class has been working on signs of old Aotearoa history around were we live.  Me and my friend Kale´a are in a group on a famous horse and his owner.  the name of our sign is Tore te A-Hoiho-John.  

We started by painting the base blue.  That was our base colour.  Then, while I was gone Kale´a had to work on the project alone. She made the grass alone, she thinks that it's to long.  I think it's perfect.  In the days after that (Mainly Yesterday) we added in the ocean, a GIANT rugby ball, a rugby goal that's smaller than the ball, the clouds and sun, a title, and last but certainly not least, The horse himself.  We've only done the out line.

The only reason were not finished is because, Kale´a started to draw the horses leg, but I pointed out it was to long.  Me and Kale´a burst into hysterical giggles.  We went outside to paint over it, but had to do it 3 times for it not to show.  Only because Kale´a did it in vivid.  When it was finally gone Kale´a painted the Ocean while I did white wash.  Then I drew the Rugby ball and we painted it.  The post was simple so I just did 3 lines, and the clouds are done too.  Me and Kale´a also found the perfect orangey-beige colour for the sun.

I Just painted the horse a pale beige with a blue mane and black saddle.  The teacher told us we have to make it paler, the beige, though.  

Thank you for reading about my week, Charlotte.

Te Reo o te wiki

kia ora everyone!!

I'm very excited because its, Te Reo o te Wiki, week.  That means its Maori week.

For quick write we had to do maori vocabulary and word work was a maori word find. 

We also have to speak as much Maori as possible. 

some basic words are: Kia ora, Ka pai, Te reo, morena, Ata maria, and Tena koutou.  There are more but these are for beginners. if you want to learn more go on the next activity.

I'll tell you about the vocabulary.  You get to  choose between numbers, fruit, animals, vocabulary builders, vocabulary and colours.  There's a list at the beginning of each activity. You read the list and then start.  They test you  read.

Word work is a word find.  You have to find all the words on the list.  next, after you've finished that you have to find out what each word means.  You try it.

BEACH

On monday and Tuesday me and my syntacite went to the beach for learning through play.  Me and my friends Naia, Alivia and Lola played tag at first and then they decided they didn't want to.  When they started building a turtle I walked away because I didn't want to.  I went to see one of my other friends, Cornelia, and watched her and some other people braid some people's hair, Including a teachers, and at the end they placed freiges really carefully in the braid.  It was beautiful.

On tuesday me Naia, Alivia and Lola played a gym game.  Naia was the builder, Lola was boss and Alivia was assistant.  I was the person who came to trial.  After a while we got bored.  Boring!!!!!!!!!!!!  Naia and Lola did something and me and Alivia played tag and asked Naia and Lola to play to. we did run through the freiga patch though.  soon after we left. That was it all guys.  BY
