Mind Blowing Facts About My Jumbled Text.

 This term in Te Ngahere we have been doing a Jumbled Text. A Jumbled Text is a text that the paragraphs are not in order so you have to correct it. The reason why we were doing a jumbled text was because we were going to write a story and we needed to know how to lay it out. I think that I did okay. I did get some feedback but in the end I got it all done. Our jumbled text and the story was supposed to be about friends. When we write our story it will go onto our report.

Here is my completed jumbled text link.

Mind Blowing Facts About My Creative Writing Sample.

 This term in Te Ngahere we did a Creative Writing Sample to see how we write now and at the end of the term we do the same, hopefully our writing has improved even more.  First we had to choose a feeling and that would be the main feeling throughout the whole text. After that we had to write where the story was set. For my feeling I chose nervous and for my scene I chose A battle between 3 then 2 then 1 ship. The reason why the number of ships goes down is because there is a battle and one of the ships get sunk then the other gets sunk too. I got the mood and atmosphere (feeling and scene) from a book that I really like.

Here is the link to my short text link.

I think that I did well because if this were the blurb for a book I would buy it.

Mind Blowing facts about our T Ball.

 This term in Te Ngahere we have been learning how to play T Ball. The rules to T Ball are when you hit the ball you have to run even if you are already on a base. When there are no more chances to get anybody out the backstop shouts ball in and they get ready for the next batsman. Every time somebody makes it to home base then the batting team get one home run. After everyone on the batting team has a go at batting they switch over. When we played we batted first and got 7 points and when it was our teams time to bat I was the backstop. I was the first backstop in the whole entire game to get someone out because one of the people clipped the ball so I got it and put the ball on homebase before the runner did. In the end my team won the score was 11 to us and 7 to the other team.

I think that I did well because  (with help from my team) I got almost the whole of the other team out.

Mind-Blowing Facts About My Te Reo Maori.

 This term in Te Ngahere we have been doing a Te Reo Maori DLO. Our DLO had to be a weather report first of all we had to learn the names of the weather like sun (ra) rain (ua) and a storm (awha) in te reo Maori. After that we had to start writing a Te reo Maori script. In our groups we had to say the weather in 4 different places all in NZ. I did Paihia, Kapiti, Mangonui and Whangarei. After you write the script you have to do a screencastify of your group saying your weather report as if you were on TV.

Here is the link to my script link.

I think I did pretty good except most of it I got help from the teachers and other students.

In our script we had to introduce ourselves and say a farewell at the end.

Terrific T-Shaped

 This term in Te Ngahere we have been doing lots of T-Shaped. This T-Shaped was about looking at a picture and thinking of what was happening and what might happen next. I found it quite easy because I have a good imagination. It helped us to start looking at mood and atmosphere in stories.

Here is the link to the doc.

Have you ever done T-Shaped before in your class?

Cool Cricket.

 Today a man called Neil came in and tought us how to play Cricket. When we got out we had to start batting. After a bit of batting we had to play a game of Speed Cricket we were Feilding first and I was the  Backstop. I was the best player that played backstop in our team. Then when it was are teams turn to bat I was the first one up. We changed positions 6 times. The other team beat us by only one point.

I think that I did pretty good

Because I got a person out by

catching the ball on the full.

The Holidays.

 During my two week break off school I went fishing. On the Saturday of the last week I cycled all the way to Waitangi from Paihia School (my school). That is about 2 miles. When I got there I realised I forgot to bring my knife and chopping board so I had to use my mums work scissors. I got in big trouble for that. As soon as the bait was on the hook I cast my sabiki in the water. Almost straight away I caught a Spotty. Spottys are not edible and are no good for bait so I put him back. When I put the rig back in the water I hooked I nice Parore but if I pulled it up with only the sabiki it would have broken. I had not got the net out yet so I had to get it out with only one hand. In the end the hook hooked onto the net a went snack so the big boy got away. After about one more hour I went back home very sad.

Next time I go fishing at Waitangi I will set my net up first instead of the rod.

Have you ever caught a Parore before?
