~Persuasion Map~

Aloha everybody,

In writing we have been focusing on persuasive writing. Persuasive writing is when you have statements and you are trying to persuade someone's mind and the other argues with you and they will try persuade you mind.  I made a statement about why students shouldn't wear uniforms. Hopefully some of you guys agree with my statement. It's alright if you disagree but try and persuade my mind! Please leave a comment because that will help with my education and blog! Hope you have a great day, stay safe. Ka Kite!

~Canterbury Swim School~

Talofa lava readers,

This week is our last week of swimming at Canterbury. I am enjoying swimming so much! What I like about swimming is when we go to the deep end and jump off. I liked learning the dolphin dive. I just found it very fun. I acheived my goal of breathing probably in the water while doing bubble and breath. My swimming instuctor was Te Ane. I find her very nice. The person I mostly hang out in my swimming group is my friend Sadiyah. Hope you guys enjoyed another one of my blog posts and hope you have a great day! Bye!

For/Against Statement Writing

Malo e lelei and Xin Chao everybody,

In writing we have been focusing on persuasive writing. First we had to make a copy of a document. We had to think of some statements and some people disagreed and some agreed. We had to write what our statement was and then write the reason. Then we had to look up evidence then we had to copy and paste the sentence and the link. I really enjoyed this activity! Hope you are having a great day and make sure to leave a comment! Bye.

~Kiwi Kids Article~

Malo e lelei everyone,

In reading time we have been going on Kiwi Kids News. We had to choose an article from the website. I choose the article called "Plastic Straws SUCK!" I had to read the whole article and there were some questions at the bottom asking what happend in the story. There were recall questions and thinking questions. We had to answer the recall questions first then the thinking questions. I made a document about the article and what happened. Hope you enjoy another one of my hardworking blog posts and have a great day! Bye.

Canterbury Swim School ~ Day#1

Aloha readers,

This term for two whole weeks Hornby Primary School will be going to Canterbury Swim School to learn how to swim. In my group there was Santannah, Jherean, Leo, Alex, Ryan and Myla. Our swim instructor was a girl and she was really nice to everyone. But unfortunately I forgot her name! Today we had to do some back kick's with the board we also had to do armstrokes. I liked it when we went near the deep pool. My goal is to try breath probably when doing arm strokes! Hope you enjoyed this blog post and feel free to leave a comment! Bye!

Krystallynna & Marleigh's First Playdate Narrative Writing!

Kia Orana everyone,

This term we have been learning to write narrative stories. The purpose of a narrative is to entertain and catch the readers attention. First we had to plan something for our story on a planner. Then we had to make a new document and write our story. One of my favourite sentences was I wrote "I hugged Marleigh tightly like she was a stuffed animal." We had to include smiles, personifications, full stops, descriptive words, 5 senses and a problem. I think one thing I should improve of is to add more descriptive words! Hope you enjoyed this blog post and please feel free to leave a comment! Aere Ra
