‘I remember’ Poem – Literacy T2 Wk8

This week for literacy we are focusing on writing poems using our 5 senses; sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch. We also had to make our poem about a time we were scared or surprised/shocked. I wrote about the time I got lost at night while I was walking with my siblings until I hadn’t realised they were really just behind me.

I had to decorate my poem into a poster and make it look creative and nice but also relevant to my poems’ topic. I tried my best to make it look as appealing as possible.

If you enjoyed my poem and/or my writing, leave a positive comment and check out more posts on my blogs! Thank you for reading ^_^ ! !

Musical film study: The theme of Sing (Rosita) T2 Wk7

This week, Mana Ako is learning about musical films. We got put into 3 groups of 3 and me and my group did Sing. We all had to pick 1 character each. We had to study about the theme of the movie and the character we chose, as that’s what we are learning about this week.

My character was obviously Rosita.  Rosita is a mum of 25 piglets and her husband is always tired/lazy so she struggles a lot. She finds a flyer about the singing competition hosted by Buster Moon and decides to join it with her talent of singing and dancing. She has a passion for music and she is also an engineer. She’s supportive and caring.

Do you have a favorite Sing character? Have you ever watched the movie(s)? Make sure to leave a comment and tell me! Thanks for visiting my blog, ka kite!

Birthday celebrations – Kings birthday (MAC)

To kick off Mana Ako Club this week we had fun planning our very own 21st birthday party.  We looked at our guest list, a possible theme, menu and more! Today we are looking at King Charles birthday that was celebrated in NZ in the form of a public holiday. We celebrate this because we are part of the commonwealth.

What’s the commonwealth you might be wondering? Well the the Commonwealth of Nations, often simply referred to as the Commonwealth, is an international association of 56 member states, the vast majority of which are former territories of the British Empire from which it developed.

I think it’s a good idea for us to celebrate the King’s birthday because we get a free day off of school (Monday!) I also think it’s good because it’s nice to celebrate somebody’s birthday even if it’s not your own. It shows appreciation and respect.

thanks to wikipedia for the information!

 

In NZ as part of our celebrations we have the King’s Service Medal (created as the Queen’s Service Medal in 1975 and renamed in 2024).   It is a medal awarded by the government of New Zealand to recognise and reward volunteer service to the community and also public service in elected or appointed public office.  Thanks to the NZ Royal Honours site

Thanks to King’s Honours List

Revolting Rhymes: Respond to Text

link to voice recording: link

Hello and welcome to blog!! This week in literacy we are learning all about Roald Dahl’s revolting rhymes but also how to read and engage our audience by reading aloud with clarity, enthusiasm & expression. I did a voice recording and I read “little red riding hood and the wolf”. In these slides I listened to my teachers’ voice recordings and had to explain why I rated it the way I did and how well he did with the WALT. It also has my reflection at the end on how I think I went in my own recording as well. I tried my very best to fit the WALT. I hope you enjoy my blog post! Please leave a positive comment, thank you<33 BYYEEEEEE!!!!!

Book trailer – Smile by Raina Telgemeier

Hello, this is my book trailer to this story called “Smile” by Raina Telgemeier. This week we got the option to pick whatever book we wanted to read but had 2 do 2 of 3 options as work for the book. My 2 were a book poster and a book trailer and this is my book trailer. I wrote a script and then recorded it. It’s about a girl who is in the girls scout and one night she trips up and damages her 2 front teeth while running towards her front step with her 2 friends after a girl scout meeting. This book is full of everything a 7th grader could go through starting from dental problems, boy confusion, fake friends and a huge earthquake. Have you ever related to any of this? If so, I think this book would be the perfect match for you. I highly recommend this book for – mainly girls – who are in 5-7th grade. I hope you enjoy my book trailer, thank you!
