Obsessed

 Good morning/afternoon/evening,

When I reached the list to choose my word of the week, my eyes were looking straight to the word obsessed. I don't know if it was because it’s in the middle of the page or that I didn't know what word to choose but it just attracted my attention. It took me a few seconds for me to actually decide though. When I did, I followed all the expectations I had to do to finish my work.

Since you have read this far I will let you see an image of it,

So what are you obsessed about?

I’m glad you are still reading this. This will be it, hope today turns amazing! 

Use this!

 Why hello there! 

Did I catch your attention? I hope I did, I don’t want to feel useless :/

What you’re reading right now, is about my word of the week. As for a hint I have used it somewhere already except, I won’t spill it out yet. 

The feeling I chose is an emotion we shouldn’t describe ourselves or people, not even when you hate them since everyone you meet serves a purpose in your life. Could be that they are the people who bring out your happiness or instead, they could be the challenge you have to finally face.

Have you figured it out yet, well please look at this image of my work,

I hope when you feel useless go to this page and read it again and just want to say, you are doing your purpose right now ( even if you don't even know what it is. )

My Mosaic

 Kamusta!

In the last few days of term 3, room 9 have started making our mosaic art. Mosaic art is an art when you use coloured glass, stone, ceramic. In this case we used peace’s of coloured paper that feels a tiny harder than normal paper. 

Our first step was to draw a flower on a blank piece of paper. Then after we had drawnour flower, we had to outline it with felt colours. After those steps, it was time for picking then cutting out coloured paper into tiny squares and sticking them into their places. 

When I saw mine, some pieces were missing but I still love it! Here is what it looks like,

I hope you enjoy this post. Goodbye!

Past to Present

 Kamusta my stunning readers, 

This week for writing I wrote some paragraphs of a story that is all fiction but it does sound like it did happen. Anyways I had to also make it into present tense. That task is quite hard for me to accomplish since I’m not used to writing in the present tense. I was still able to make 2 short paragraphs… 

… and so here it is, 

So does it look okay? Thank you very much for reading this post!  

Crocodile Trouble

 Kamusta po readers,

Between this week and last week my class and I made lovely narratives with the language features we have learnt from the last few weeks this term.

My story is based on me going to a zoo, losing my paper and getting myself into a hilarious situation with a crocodile. What I have changed after I have about 3 timers were I tried to make the paragraph as small as I could, then I turned the word ‘hugged’ into ‘I wrapped my arms’. After I did that, I re-read it about 3 more times. 

I don’t want to spoil it so here’s my narrative,

As you can see I have added all my language features I know and made it as great as I could and I feel proud of it.

Our Tree Planting Trip!

 Kamusta everybody,

On Wednesday September 16, the trusted trekkers, health leaders and some other people that have been amazing at school or just have been chosen got to go on a field trip to plant trees.

What I expected was to just plant a big seed in the ground and look around the farm but I was wrong what we actually did was we...

..first off drove for about half an hour to go to springfield for toilet break and playground time….

…..then it took us maybe 15 minutes to go to the farm near Springfield to plant trees more than once but about as much as we wanted….

...after we planted the plants, we walked towards the cow however there was some down side, there were cow poop everywhere. we all made it through and saw these lovely cows…….

Finally we had lunch and after we had finished eating we played games that caused some problems, although we got to see a cat named Spook. Lastly we viewed the whole farm inside the van and headed home while some of us slept in the vehicle like me.

Writing a Narrative... with Language Features!

 Magandang araw sayo,

This term my class and I have been taught 6 different language features for our writing lesson. I think the purpose of doing this is so we can learn how to be professional writers.

This week we had made a plan of a narrative that will possibly be turned into a story in the future. After we all added our ideas in our plans, we had to highlight places where we wanted to include language features. Orange is hyperbole, yellow is personification, blue is alliteration, green is dialog, pink is onomatopoeia and red is metaphor.

Here’s my plan for my narrative,

Does it look okay? or should I add more? Hope this gives you an idea of my story.

Indignant!

 Hi there behind the screen,

I want to tell you something, and it is my weekly word. We call it that or word of the week because my teacher finds a word for us to know and they are mostly emotions however it’s only 1 word per week.

Here’s an example and the word is for this week too,

So do you kind of get it? Because if not you can always look for my other weekly word posts or you can go to someone in room 9’s word of the week blog posts too.

Commenting and Alliteration

 Kamusta my creative readers,

Currently kids in the classrooms are in a cool commenting competition where their family members comment continuously once a day if able. 

In my class, we can completely confidently compare our class with the others that we are brilliantly bumming at the bottom so if you are a cool family member that’s connected to a room 9 child, can you please look at the carefully made blog we post and comment so when end of the fortnight we can collect our countless comments. 

Here’s an instruction of how parents can comment,

How do you comment though? Now I followed these steps on my dads phone but all I could do was read them, so I scrolled way down where it said my name and something and I clicked on it, after it led me to a site where you can see all my posts and so I pressed on one of them then I found where you can comment. Hope this helps!

Word of the Week!

 Hello everyone,

In my class, there is something called the word of the week (you might already know it). What it is, is it in our reading lesson and it’s a word our teacher chose for us to find a definition, example and your own sentence, the word is usually related to an emotion. 

Here’s the screenshot of my accomplished work,

Here’s a question if you’ve seen all my other word of the week posts, what are you feeling?

Reading Post

 Hola amigos,

This post, I will be talking about a reading activity that I should have already finished last week but couldn’t make it considering my group has lots of things to do.

It is about the emotions of a character you have chosen from the book and writing each feeling from the start and the part you have stopped reading. The character I have chosen was Bradley, after all he is one of the main characters. 

Here’s an image of what the group I was in (Aztecs) mostly had to do,

This techno LY means what different emotions I’ve read that Bradley have felt through their part I have read and I have also written the proof. 

Maths Time

 Kon'nichiwa everyone, 

On Tuesday I started my maths observation and ended it on Thursday because on Wednesday my teacher had the group I was in. This one was pretty tricky because there are multiple shapes. (it’s mainly about shape so yeah)

From my view these are my answers even though I can feel that they aren’t accurate,

Can you do this one? Click here if you’d like to do it! and every time I add the link please always make a copy

Writing Time

 Magandang araw to you today, 

For writing we did quite a lot. We, room 9 learnt what and lots of metaphors. 

Day 1 was completing the metaphors. Day 2 we had to choose 4 metaphors, 1 metaphor meant 1 paragraph about it and an experience. Day 3 was finding the metaphors in the poems. Day 4 I couldn’t do but it was about writing 3 paragraphs including the language we learnt. 

Here’s one thing from each day that I did, 

It was pretty fun since metaphors are easy to understand and quickly, thanks for popping in, goodbye:) 

Word of the Week

 Hi-ya reader,

This week’s reading the first thing we all do is our word of the week. For this week's word, is alienated. 

I don’t know why but in my head I feel like alienated means excluded but it is…. just a little though since alienated is a feeling when maybe your friends are talking about a movie that you hardly know about and you kind of feel left out. 

I mean that was rather a good explanation but if it doesn’t make such sense then you can always look at this image, 

I actually enjoyed making this and I hope you liked it too, gracias!! 

Filipino Language Week

 Kamusta sa taong nagbabasa nito and our buddies (Toroa room 2 and room 4 Ruapotaka,)

This post is about something relating to a culture that’s happening between the days August 13-19. Now what’s happening is it is Filipino language week. 

A fact about the dates were, on August 13 1998 there was a battle of Manila or called ‘Mock battle of Manila’. Quezon was born on August 19th, he was elected president somewhere in the Philippines and so that’s my guess of why between those days are so special. 

You might know, or not but did you know if the blue and red on the flag are in the wrong way it means the Philippines is in war.

(see),

In room 9 there are about 5 Filipino’s, how many are in your class?

What does 'Validated' Mean?

 Talofa readers,

I will be sharing with you a work I did yesterday for reading. The work I did was my weekly word. The word for this week is validated! 

The challenging part for me is when finding the definition since it was confusing because there was one for what it actually means and the emotion one but we had to do the emotion one. It was also hard to make a sentence. 

But thankfully I had completed my job,

I’m still a little confused but I kind of get it now, and I hope you do too!

Hyperboles!

 Magandang umaga readers,

 

This term we’ve been doing language features, for this week we learnt what hyperboles mean. 

Hyperboles are things you say that are like so untrue but at the start of it, it has to be related to what you’re feeling e.g I’m so hungry I can eat 50 pizzas in 5 minutes. We also watched videos about hyperboles and wrote the hyperboles we hear. After we write our own hyperboles. Last we wrote a story with hyperboles

Here’s the story I did.

My story hasn’t been completed but who knows if we can continue it next week. Thank goodbye!

Our Writing Group

Kia ora the insanely amazing human that’s reading this,

On Thursday, I was included in a group where we do writing but more extra. What our job was to find the sentences' main idea and change some into better words. The sentences came from a paragraph where I had read through.  

(The story is from the book ‘Wonder’)

When I turned them into new sentences I organised them in order.

Thank you for reading this blog post, I really hope you have a nice day. :)

Noticing Number: Lego Blocks

Kon'nichiwa everyone,

Welcome to my math post where I talk about what I have been doing in that time. What’s been going on is, group B ( the group I’m in) have done another noticing number questions again, that’s the name of the thing I didn't know the name of. 

For more info here’s an image of the completed work,

What I learnt was that there wasn't actually a missing piece in the bigger Lego stack, hope you liked seeing my work. 

Noticing Number: Fudge

Mhoro everyone,

This will actually be my first maths blog post about maths for this term. One thing I have accomplished today is my math work and it is about what you notice, what my maths stuff you notice and all that things. 

But there was a change or an. add up 

(here’s what I’m talking about)

If you’ve seen my previous maths blog posts you’ll would of noticed that change. 

3D Lego Shapes

Kamusta mathematicians,

Half room 9 have made lego blocks into maths by creating a 3D square or rectangle. My buddy and I used 2 by 2’s to create our rectangle. We also made it a 3 layered shape that’s 5 groups of 3 on each layer. That means the amount of blocks we used were 45. 

Here's a picture of our creation,

Salam readers!

Salam readers!

Did you guys enjoy your holidays? I know I did, well I only chilled for the whole holidays. 

Anyways this is actually supposed to be a reading blog post so yeah.  This weeks word of the week is disillusioned. I think disillusioned means when you had something planned but it never happened. 

Heres an image of my weekly word, 

 

Did you learn a word today too?

Maths Noticing

Hallloooo humans in this wonderful earth!!

Today was a day that I looked at another math observation! These are the things where I look at the image and see what maths stuff I notice. 

This one was different though, like really different because the photo was a stem and leaf graph. This you might have already learnt but me, I have never done a stem and leaf graph, ever. 

My work is okay for me but what do you think?

( here’s a screenshot of it,)

I haven't fully finished it, but at least it's close to being done? 

Action Words

Kamusta amazing readers,

The start of this term, room 9 have been learning to write a strong narrative. It has to be believable, descriptive, consistent and needs a strong structure. 

Yesterday my class and I learned how to show not tell to our audience by picking a paragraph from a story we have made and highlighting all the verbs and changing the weak ones to much stronger ones. I completed mine because I used a synonym dictionary. 

Here’s an example: 

Al gave miss D a coffee. 

And this is the change I made, 

Al kindly gifted Miss D a cup of tasty cappuccino. 

Thank you for checking out my post, hope you learnt something about the difference of weak action words and strong verbs! Here’s a link of the synonym dictionary I used, Click here fo the link

Sceptical

Kia ora readers,

Today is a great day that I’ll be sharing with you the work I did for reading. So what I did was, I did my word of the week and it is sceptical. 

I learnt that sceptical is kind of another saying that you think it’s not close to being true. How I knew that was I went on the dictionary, but it was confusing so I went and just searched it up in google then I added them together and that’s how I knew it. 

Do you like how my work is designed?

Every time I do the word of the week, at first I always get confused and I think this word is the word that really hit me.
