Writing Sample
On Monday we did a writing sample on It is not right to fight. You could disagree or agree. I was stuck in the middle so what I mean is, I couldn't decide on what one to write so I did both of them. I ended up doing 6 paragraphs and almost 4 pages. I thought that was really good. What about You? We also had to try to persuade our reading into agreeing with our decision.
I hope you liked reading my blog post.
Finding Out What Is The Type Of Writing Feature
Today in our reading workshop my group was challenged to complete finding out what kind of feature we had in our book. My group had a poem called Practising for my film audition. My group was a group of 3. We found out soon enough that our book was about poetry.
Poetry is about Rhyming, Alliteration, it can always be creative. And I also know that all of these mean it is a poem. A poem can be true but usually if it's true its about seasons, Ocean. And lot's of other things.
Here is a picture
Athletics Day
Wooshhh!!
All these little kids zooming past as we cheered them on. My sister Amelia was neck and neck with Nina one of her best friend. As they were racing their heart out to get to the interschool athletics. Just at the end Nina leaped past Amelia.
It's finally here. Do you like athletics day? As you can Probably tell I love athletics. What is your all time favorite sport?
In athletics we do ball throw, 100 metre sprints, High jump, 200 metre sprints and last but not least long jump. The teachers said first up for the year 5s are ball throw. we were all excited to get started. We all had 3 throws each to get further than before. I did my best and came 6th. I thought that was a good placing.
Next up was Long jump.
It's not my best. But you should see my friend Aria, she is great at long jump. I did my first jump and ended up in 3rd place for a while. I had two more jumps and neither of them ended up at interschool. But for the year 5 girls Betsy in first then Zoe and coming in 3rd place Aria.
My favorite one was up next, 100 metre sprints.
Sprints is not my best but I still like it. On your mark get set go! yelled "koka Sue." I was in first then I went back. I almost made it into finals. I wish I did. Next up was 8 year 5 girls. Heaps of people were in first until the last minute. Sorry but I can't tell you exactly who won. But people were fast.
High jump was up next.
Matua Nic was the high jump teacher. I was 3rd in line. I ran jumped and missed. So I went down a cone with Zoe, Lila, Jago, Bridie and Indie J. Zoe went down then Lila next Jago me then Bridie again. The first place winners for the girls were Aria and Betsy tieing so then Lola was in 2nd.
Thanks for reading my blog about the awesome Athletics day. I hoped you enjoyed reading it. I would love it if you told me what I could do for my next blog. Please give me some feedback.
Travelling To Napier
Rolling along the foggy road. Trying to get to Mahia, by the time it was 6:00 am. Travelling up foggy and bumpy roads, as it was still the hour 5. Are we there yet " yelled Amelia". Almost "said dad." We finally made it to Mahia!!!
My sister Amelia + my dad jumped on the boat with a life jacket and warm clothes since it was 5:30 am. My mum, Olive and me drove to the beach to see them get put into the water. It was so cool seeing a boat get put in the water a whole different way. We left Mahia trying to get to Napier as fast as we could.
We made it to Napier. But only the people that were in the car of course. All my family woke up at 4:00 am so we were starving. We went to have some breakfast at 9:00 am. My mum text my dad to see how far they were. And they were only 10-15 minutes away. We made it in time to get some photos of them coming in.
Going For Gold Bake Sale
A few weeks ago our teacher Koka Rozie let some kids take a lead. Zoe my friend and me started a fundraising group. This is what we choose for kids taking a lead. We gathered some of our friends. All together we put our brains together and we decided what should we do for fundraising.
Bake sale fundraising for SPCA
Craft fair fundraising for our school
Movie day/night fundraising for kids in need
For the first one we choose Bake Sale Fundraising for the SPCA.
On the 29 of september wednesday we are doing a bake sale and I am doing it with...
Myself Kyla-Rose, Zoe, Bridie, Millie and Krissie
We are hoping we will raise tons of money during this bake sale so that the SPCA can get what they need to help animals in urge of care. We are also hoping that the SPCA will be able to get warm blankets so that the animals can keep warm in winter and get the care they need.
Within L3 Reading
Last week in reading group we read a book called Bok Choy. We had to write a retail about the book. This is my retail.
Jacob was helping his mother some firewood. Then came Uh Sum selling his Bok Choy. Suddenly we found out Mrs Bishop was not nice, and did not say nice things.
Jacob decided that he wanted to go fishing. Jacob went to the cold routh river. He slipped on the slippery rocks and fell into the river. Uh Sum saw Jacob and saved him. Next minute Jacob knew he was in Uh Sums hut.
Then his mother came to collect Jacob. Jacob and his mother went home. The saw Mrs Bishop and she was talking trash about Jacob.
Bake Off
Yesterday my sisters and I had a bake off. As you can tell by the title. A bake off is when you decide with your family what kind of baking you are going to bake. We decided for COOKIES!!
I made the elamite chocolate chip cookies. The chocolate chip cookies were super easy to make. It only took about 15 minutes to make the mixture and around 10 minutes to bake. Isn't that fast ?
Amelia my sister made ginger crunch cookies. The ginger crunch took a little longer to make than Amelia thought. But at the end they were delicious cookies. Sadly she came last place.
Olive my other sister made a delicious hokey pokey cookies. We can't forget she got that recipe out of my cookbook. They took about 30 minutes to make the mixture and around 20 minutes to bake. Don't you think that was a lot longer than mine to make?
The 3rd place winner was the ginger crunch cookies. 1st place was the hokey pokey biscuits. And from this you can probably tell 2nd place was the elamite chocolate chip cookies. Who did you think would of came first second and third?
I hope you liked finding out about the bake off I did in lockdown. If you do a bake off with your family you should do a blog post about it.
The End
