The Pelican with a colorful horn.

This week I was learning how to structure and how to write narratives. A narrative is a fiction story.

I enjoed getting to make up our own storys.

What I dound challeging was to come up with a story.

Does my title sound good?

Next time I would try to do more correct spelling.

It was a time when pelicans had horns. The horns were always colored dark and boring gray but there was only one pelican that was different.

That pelican's name was James. Now the difference was he had a rainbow horn that every human wanted.

But one day on a cold and crystal clear day James the pelican found out that someone was hunting him down. James immediately knew the hunter wanted his horn, and if he didn’t have his horn he would no longer be here. So immediately James started running for the hills.

While James was in the hills following the muddy trail it started to pour down with rain. Giant boulders fell almost every second. But then he saw him, the hunter with his coffee! The hunter was staring at James with his smouldering face. The hunter took 1 step… 2 steps… 3 steps… and then he had him. James was stuck in a tight net. But James was not the only one sad; the hunter was sad too, because he dropped his coffee!

So off went the hunter to get some more coffee (that was a bit stupid) So as soon as possible James swipped his strong and mighty horn and cut through the net and made his way behind a tree. When the hunter appeared James dashed out from behind the tree and stabbed the hunter in the thy! He dropped his coffee and that was the end of the hunter.

My speech.

This week I have been learning how to write a speech and use emotive language. 

I wrote about coral reefs. What would you write about?

I enjoyed writing about coral reefs.

What I found challenging was to pick my topic because there was so many things to pick.

My digital object shows that I can use emotive language and writre a speech.

Me saying my speech

Mr. Wolf is not guilty

Today I was learning how to strucutre.

I enjoyed writing about Mr Wolf because I loved that story when I was little.

Do you think Mr wolf is not guilty?

What I found challenging was to explain my ideas.

My digital object shows that I can strucure and copy my writing onto my blog.

Success Criteria

 

I will write my introduction (What I think, and a preview of what my writing will be about)

😀😀😀

I will use my plan to explain each of my arguments and reasons why I think that (research)

😀😀😀

I will end with a conclusion where I reiterate what I think. 

😀😀😀

I firmly believe that Mr Wolf is not guilty of 1st degree murder. He did not do anything at all, I found he was just trying to help. Have you heard Mr Wolf's side of the story? Just so you know Red Riding Hood is a little brat. In this speech I will give you reasons to prove that Mr Wolf is not guilty.

First of all Mr Wolf did not murder Red Riding Hood so there is no point putting him in prison, he is dead anyway. He did not kill the grandma either, he just locked her in the closet and the wood chopper chopped her out, so no one is dead! (besides Mr Wolf) 

Secondly it is a wolf’s instinct to kill. If he does not kill he will be hungry like us. That is just like us getting meat from the store, it is the same thing! Wolf’s are meant to be feisty and if they do not kill what are their big sharp teeth for? He also did not even get to eat, he just got killed, and no one said to kill Mr Wolf.

Thirdly you cannot put a wolf in prison. He is an animal, yeah he could go to the pound but if he was attempting to kill Red Riding Hood how would you catch him, he would probably bite you (as self defence.) I would put the wood chopper in prison if I could myself because he killed Mr Wolf.

Finally there is absolutely no reason to even think about arresting Mr Wolf! He is innocent, in fact he is probably helping other people up in heaven (even though he is a wolf.)

Mr Wolf is not guilty!

Is Mr wolf guilty for 1st degree Murder?

Today I was learning how to plan a persuasive text. We had to brainstorm both reasons is mr wolf guilty? or is not guilty? What would you do? I agree that mr wolf is not guilty you will see why I think this on my brainstorm. 

I enjoyed reading the stories about the big bad wolf. 

What I found challenging was to explain my ideas.

My digital object shows that I can download my photo.

😀😀

I think that dogs are better than cats in many different ways. In this persuasive text I will tell you three reasons why dogs are better than cats. 

Firstly dogs are easier to snuggle with than cats, I think this because cats normally are feisty and are always trying to scratch you. That's not the only reason. Dogs are not fussy like cats. Dogs will just eat whatever is on the menu. But with a cat it will love the food for a couple days and than they will end up findisgustingisguting.

Secondly dogs just get busy outside playing, but with a cat you have to entertain them a lot especially a kitten. Sometimes it will get to much you have to kick them outside.

Lastly dogs are always protecting you, even the smallest of them all, and when they know they have done something wrong they will normally show a sign of guilt. You can see it in their eyes.

For all of these reasons above I believe that dogs are way better than cats.

Cats Vs Dogs.

My six sentence story.

Today I was learning how to structure my writing. We had to do some activities I chose the six sentence story. It is on a penguin called Jeff.

I enjoyed getting to write my own story because I love writing stories.

What I found challenging was to figure out a plan  that the penguin could do to scare the orca. 

My digital object shows that I can download my slide and make six sentence story.

My nature art.

Today I was making nature art inspired by Andy goldsworthy.  Andy Goldsworthy is a person who creates awesome things with nature. I got my smiley face from the video I watched on him.

I enjoyed getting to get fresh air and explore all around the place.

What I found challenging was to find the right parts to make my smiley face.

My digital object shows that I can create a smiley face with nature.

What is composting.

Today I was learning how to do good structure. As well as that I was learning about composting and with the information I have found out I made a report on it. I enjoyed getting to write about composting because i find it really fascinating. What i found challenging was to put the information into my own words. My digital object shows that I can copy my doc and write a report on composting.

Do you want to learn about composting?

Composting is environmentally friendly and can save the world.

What is composting?

Composting is a method that you use to break down green and brown scraps into fertile dirt that you can use to plant nice yummy vegetables and plants. So all of your apple cores and vacuum bag that you find disgusting will help you to make your dream garden.

How is it made?

The way it is made is by decomposers. Decomposers are worms, fungi, insects and all sorts of small creatures. So all of the things that we find gross are insects favourite foods. All the insect help each other to break it down so at the end it is just healthy dirt.

The benefits of composting.

The benefits are saving you from spending money on dirt and soil to plant, when you can just let the insects do it for you. It is also good because it is saving the environment.

Composting is one of the best things you can do, to plant as many greens and keep you nice and healthy, and it is keeping  the decomposers nice and healthy as well.

I enjoyed doing something else like writing about a wild animal because I normally do one that lives in the sea or Antarctica.

What I found challenging was to find a wow fact!!!

The hippopotamus belongs to the hippopotamidae family.

Hippopotamus are large mammals.They have a large barrel shaped body, short legs a short tail, and an enormous head. 

Hippopotami eat lots.But really all they eat is short grasses and fruit (if it can find some)So that means they are herbivores.

A hippopotamus normally lives in sub-saharan Africa. They spend up to 16 hours a day in abundant water.

Did your know that hippopotamus cannot swim?

 Here is my reflection for my writing this week.

How do Emperor penguins survive in the cold.

This week for writing were were doing more explanation writing,I did it on penguins. I was aiming to use complex sentences in each paragraph and to use a comma in each phrase. Have I done those things? I enjoyed writing about penguins because they are my favourite Animal. What  I found challenging was to put a complex sentence in my introduction and summary. My digital object shows that I can copy my  google doc.

An Emperor penguin is a flightless bird. They swim in the arctic ocean and swim in the water that is 28.8c. They survive by breeding,raising young and eating.

Where do Emperor penguins live?

Emperor penguins live in Antarctica and sleep on their bellies. Unless it was at the zoo, you would never find a penguin somewhere else other than Antarctica.

How do penguins survive in the cold?

Penguins have thick skin and lots of blubber, trap heat inside the body keeping the Emperor penguin warm.

What is huddle time?

Emperor penguins gather close together in  big groups called huddles. Most of their body is exposed to the cold. This cuts their heat loss in half. The largest huddle ever, had about 5,000 penguins. When in a huddle,their temperature is 37 c and the air outside of the huddle is below 30c.

How many layers do penguins have?

Emperor penguins have four layers of feathers that provide protection from the cold wind. Emperor penguins have a small beak,small flippers,small legs, and small feet which means not much heat escapes. Emperor penguins body’s look larger than their head,making it look out of proportion.

Penguins may huddle together for many different reasons. This is the way Emperor penguins survive in the arctic. 

How planets work.

This week we were doing explanation writing, I did mine on planets. I was aiming to use paragraphs,rhetorical question for my title, and have a definition in my introduction. Have I done it? Tell me in the comments. I enjoyed writing about planets because I like telling other people like you, about anything!!! What I found challenging was to come up with a good conclusion I hope it sounds good. Next time I will try to put more information about planets.

A planet is a circle shaped gas giant,but some aren't, they are made of rock!

How does a planet work?

A planet functions by orbiting the sun. The way a planet orbits is by the sun pulling the planet by its gravity and causing it to curve.

How are planets formed?

Planets are formed from particles of gas and dust. Colliding and sticking together two form the planet. This happens by the particles moving really fast and acting like a magnet.

Why do  we need planets? 

These objects are important because they are the best places to contain life.

This is the way planets work,they are chemical reactions and they create the world.

The big game.

   This week we have been learning to hook the readers attention.  I amed to use lots of alliteration

which is having a sentence that starts with two or more words that start with the same letter. We only had to write the hook.

Has my story hooked you in? Do you want to read more? I enjoyed peer assessing with my mate James.

I found it challenging to remember what I am doing for my success criteria.

Squelch I walked onto the wet soggy rugby field.

I was ready to play. The whistle blew and the game started. Youch! Ahhh! We were clashing heads and dropping the slippery ball. It was freezing cold. I was an ice block. Every tackle looked like a huge doggy pile. We were clashing, crashing and smashing. I was left with a banged up head.
