Taumarere history

This year our class has discovered stuff about Taumarere history in the Taumarere museum. We have to explain 2 facts about the taumarere trip we had gone on past and present those are the two. 1. the past there use to be a Maori girl school in Taumarere. 2. the present now no one goes to Taumarere some people wonder why well I think it´s because overtime people discovered new things over in Moerewa,  Kawakawa, Kaikohe, Kerikeri, Whangarei and Auckland. There was no easy part I found it a little difficult.

This is a photo of us heading to the Taumarere museum.

Q + A taumarere awa

For the past two weeks we have been doing this. Manu and I have put this down from a slide that others and us have done.

Jackie

I know some people would swim as well as wash themselves.

Who pulled and who pushed?

Manu

I know that back in the day they moved Porowini marae to Otiria On horses.

How many people did it take to bring porowini marae from Taumarere to Otiria?

Thinking critically

This week we have been learning to think critically our S.C is: To question the information we read.
The easy part was reading the book Mahi Tahi.
The hard part was to think critically and seeing if it was true or not but I got it.
I could improve by thinking harder on what to respond on.
Here is my proof: To think critically you must first see the pictures and maybe do some research on the book if it´s not real then here´s another way to question the book and find out if it´s real or not.

Quick task 3

Last week my group was reading about "what now for rena" our LI is: thinking critically, our S.C is: To question the information when we read LI means Learning intention S.C means success criteria. 

The easy part was talking about the book. 

The hard part was rewriting in the boxes. 

I could improve by learning quicker what critical thinking is.

The skills I am using for reading are sounding out the word that I don´t understand.

This is my proof is that I´ve been using critical thinking to tell if the writer is telling the truth or not.

Thinking critically

This week my group have been learning to think critically and evaluative text .
The easy part was to write what thinking critically means.
The hard Part was doing the quick task what is critically thinking.
I could improve by being more involved in talking to my group.
Here is my proof.

These are what I had to do.

Venn Diagram

Today I have been learning about Venn Diagram on underground explorers and Marcus Thomas I did all the same and differences. The hard part was finding what the differences are but I found a few. The easy part was doing the Venn diagram and the same also the pictures. My next step is making it interesting. This is my proof.

Follow up activity

This week I have been doing my follow up activity. 
The easy part was thinking what books interest me. 
The hard part was thinking what does making connections text to text mean. 
My next step is ? I don't think I have a next step.
Here is my proof.

Summarising and the big five

This week and last week we have been learning how to  summarise the big five (If you don't know what the BIG FIVE is) The big five is Someone, Wanted, Because, But and Then they can also fit on your five figure's. You already know about SUMmarising. 

Heres an example of the big five push on the picture to see the big five see if you can find Who we're talking about what they wanted, the word because, but and then. Good LUCK.

WHAT I HAVE BEEN LEARNING ABOUT!!!

This week I have been learning about SUMmerising.

The easy part was learning about how 
S stands for Shorter then the text,
U stands for Using your own words,
M stands for Main ideas only.
The hard part was nothing really it's kinda like last year there was nothing wrong in my learning this week. I could improve on nothing theres absolutely nothing I should improve on just like what I need to work on but theres nothing I could possiably work on.

Heres my proof 

Thanks for reading please comment down below.

Reading goals

My reading goals!

This week I had to choose what was challenging to me this is all the reading goals that we will
complete this year.

      For me I chose (use appropriate skills, technology and resources to find relevant information) my proof is the picture I put up.

Hyper Docs

Yesterday I was learning about hyper docs. The easy part was nothing I feel there wasn't a easy part. The hard part was thinking about what we learnt in the past. I could improve by being more involved in what my group is saying. I don't think I have any evidence. This is all I can say but next time I'll do much better.

My review

In the past week I have been learning to summerise. The easy part was listing and learning how to summerise. The hard part was nothing really I feel that I have done well. I could improve by nothing I think I did well from what I learnt last time I did summerising. My evidence is to SUM in summerise
Shorter than the text.  use your own words.  Main ideas only, and that's how I know about SUMmerise.

Homophones

Today I learnt about homophones I learnt that homophones are two words that sound the same but different spelling. The easy part was writing the different words that sound the same. The hard part was nothing really just being involved again but I was a little involved. I could improve by nothing. My evidence is that I could show you two different words that say the same thing for example: There, Their, They're.

Plenary

Last week My group and I were doing our Plenary I only did my reading part it was quit easy so yeah. A plenary is something that shows you what was easy what was hard and what you could improve on when you last edited it. The easy part was writing What was easy.... What was hard.....  What I could improve..... This is my plenary

Kiwiana 2

Last week I created a list of 10 things that were kiwiana and 10 things that weren't kiwiana. The easy part was searching for thing that was or wasn't kiwiana. The hard part was thinking of all the things that wasn't kiwiana. I could improve by putting more interesting words for what isn't kiwiana.

1. Kiwi
2. Sheep
3. L&P
4. Buzzybee
5. Koru
6. Silver fern
7. All blacks

Kiwiana

This week our class (Nga Rau Puawai) Room 3 had to do two tasks this is one of my tasks. The easy part was naming all the kiwiana things and the non kiwiana things. The hard part was making all the shapes into things that I didn't know. I could improve by making it more original and creative. This is about kiwiana if you don't know about kiwiana then keep reading. Kiwiana is something that was born in NZ like sheep's were created in NZ I don't know anymore Examples so yeah. A non-Kiwiana is like MC Donald and Kangaroos for short roos.

Quotation marks

Today I have been learning about using speech marks and other punctuation.  The easy part was learning about what quotation marks are. The hard part was that I was slow at working with my buddies. I could improve by being involved in the reading.

Inquiry facts

Go here it will tell you what I learnt. Last week we were learning about inquiry facts about eels. The easy part was writing all the knowledge I learnt about eels. The hard part was to find the image that I needed.

My reading

I am learning about eels. My Learning intention is: Making connections text to texts. I know that I have  learnt this because I have reed about it in the book, on YouTube and I've seen the pictures of eels in the book as well.

My reading

This week harakeke group has been working on what a article is. I learnt that articles are real stories and that there are subtitles,titles and pictures to let you know a little bit about the story.
