Writing: Survival Dear Diary

WALT: Use Descriptive language in our writing.

This week in my writing lesson we are still focusing on descriptive language, by reflecting on this

we had to create a small text of writing about SURVIVAL. The type of text could be narrative, diary entry or novel. I chose Diary Entry because it's very creative and I had to act out like I was on Bear Grylls on my first night in the wild forest. This was a very fun and creative  task.

Enjoy

Survival Stories

WALT: Identify language features in a text.

Today for Online Learning, my Reading lesson was to complete a few slides about Survival Stories like Hatchet, Shark Survival and Wild things. I had to answer a few questions about each story so that I can complete my WALT. Hope You Enjoy.

Today for Online Learning, my Inquiry lesson I had to complete a few slides about Te Whare Tapa Wha. We had to provide a brief summary of each Taha and then a image of us giving an example of it.

Mata I Pusi

Walt:Ask questions about a text to develop a deeper understanding of it.

I found this book very interesting because it was about a young girl who was half Pakeha and Samoan. She had green eyes that made her look like a black cat, she was really ashamed of it. Her green eyes were really rare in her culture. She was very embarrassed when people would look at her but her wise grandmother would always say to be confident in her culture and appearance. This would make her feel much better.

Do we need to go to school?

Why do we need school?
By Hannah

Introduction:

A school is an educational institution designed to provide learning spaces and learning environments for the teaching of students (or "pupils") under the direction of teachers.
But the real question here is “Why do we need School?”

Body paragraph 1

School

Firstly, we need school because it gives people the building blocks necessary to do many things: critically analyse, read, perform mathematical functions, write, etc. Without these building blocks people would not understand some of the things necessary in everyday life.

Body paragraph 2:

Secondly, what parents would like their own lazy kid playing video games or watching you-tube all day (I know I wouldn’t) careless parents that is. By having a school all your kids can be out learning new and useful things instead of adding WiFi bills 24/7. With this opportunity for having a school, kids may learn anything and everything.

Body paragraph 3:

Lastly on why we need a school is because being able to make friends is a stepping stone towards confidence and our well being.  Imagine life without school life will be lonely and dull. Yeah, suppose you can make new friends social media….but wouldn’t it be better if you could learn new things at school and making friends along the way. This is why we need a school!

Conclusion:

As you can see the reasons above these are the answers to your question on  “Why do we need SCHOOL?”. Yeah it can be kinda boring (or maybe very boring) but  education is not just about going to school and getting a degree. It’s all about widening your knowledge and absorbing the truth about life.
