Summer learning journey- arriving in New Zealand

Activity 1

It is widely believed that the first people to arrive in New Zealand came from Polynesia. Most historians believe that they landed in New Zealand over 700 years ago. Although they were originally from many different countries, these settlers learned to live together and, eventually, formed their own distinct culture known as ‘Māori.’  Māori have their own language, traditions, and culture.

Don't let the pigeon stay up late

 Walt: we are learning to write an opinion.

 For the last few weeks we have been reading these stories called -

Don't let the pigeon drive the bus.

Don't let the pigeon stay up late.

The pigeon needs a bath.

The pigeon wants a walrus.

We did an opinion plan we had to put detail into the plan

after we just writ the opinion story.

Please give me some feedback that would be great.

Don’t let the pigeon stay up late

I think the pigeon should not stay up late!

I don’t think it’s a good idea because the pigeon might be grumpy and angry because he did not get his 10 hours sleep.

I don’t think the pigeon should stay up late because the pigeon might have a busy day tomorrow like running swimming or a flying race the next day.

I don’t think he should go to bed because if he sleeps he might get a treat tomorrow in the morning and it might be yummy.

 

Alarm call

Hey little kitten. There was once a monster who came into town all he wanted to do was to see a kitten and to pat the kitten. So he went to see a kitten but every house he went into there was no kitten so he kept  on looking in each house but he had no luck so he left for a few days and gone back home. He came back a few days later he kept on looking but it was hopeless the monster gave up so he went home again.

The next time he went he saw a kitten wandering round the streets the kitten was as fluffy as a cloud and as white as snow and of course he followed the kitten. He followed the kitten everywhere the kitten went the monster followed and followed and followed until the kitten got into a house the monster had to find a way into the house the door was small so the monster had to SQUEEZE through the door but the monster had to get out and find another way but there was a way he had to squeeze again then he got in.

He pet the kitten he even slept next to the kitten the kitten woke up and started cuddling the kitten and the kitten was cuddling him until….. The owner came in he tried to hide but the owner kicked him out of the house the next day the owner went shopping and the giant went in and cuddled the kitten again then he went home and he was happy.

My Te Manu Tukutuku poem

Te Manu Tukutuku Poem

I felt amazing when I walked into the new school.

I heard people chatting to each other and screaming.

I saw kids having fun on the playgrounds and on the basketball court.

I got to touch the soft, bouncy, comfy, warm furniture that was new.

I smelt the nice fresh air in the new school.

Here is my poem. The most challenging thing for me was to figure out what to write for my poem that was really challenging. But I still like writing my poem it was super fun. The most fun thing about it was writing the poem.

Can you please give me some feedback if you could thanks.
