Writing extension

 On Monday and Tuesday I did writing extension with Mrs Walters. We had to create a 500ish word essay with one semicolon and one explore the subject sentence. A peice was to be about our Gisint legacy, I hope you enjoy reading mine.

Learning new sentences!

For the past two weeks in my level three writing group we have been learning to write new types of sentences. They include a main clause, a dependent clause and a subordinate clause. In one workshop we wrote five sentences including those things. We wrote them about our characters from Escape from Kraznir. This week we had three options to choose from. All of the options were creatures also from Escape from Kraznir. On this blog post I am going to be sharing my sentences about the creature I chose.

Escape from Kraznir!

Escape from Kraznir

For the past few weeks, my level 3 writing group has been doing an adventure based piece of writing. It is called Escape From Kraznir. Someone called Miss Ransom created a slide presentation all about the obstacles our characters would run into. The slides have options that we can choose to write our chapter about. So far I am up to writing chapter four. 

This writing has been very interesting and fun because I've learnt lots of different ways to construct  sentences. The sentences that I learnt were made up of a main clause, a subordinate clause and a dependent clause. I also enjoyed this because it's fun to share my writing with people.

Here is my first paragraph of Chapter one

Spectacular Snowmanotron!

This term my writing group has been looking at the snowmanotron. The snowmanotron is a contraption that can create snowmen.  We watched a video about it and then we drew a diagram of the snowmanotron. After we drew it we labeled all the parts and then planned all the steps it does to make a snowman.

We are writing an explanation of how it works, so far we have wrote an introduction each. I hope you enjoy it and comment your feedback on how I can improve on it.

Refugee!

Huia reading: Refugee

In my reading group (early level 4) our activity is to read a book and answer some questions. The book is called Refugee. Each week our teacher (Koka Ngaire) lets us read another part of the story. So far it has been very interesting. I hope you enjoy seeing what i've done so far. I'll make sure that I post updates.

It's about three different characters, Joseph, Mahmoud and Isabel. Mahmoud is a boy who lives in Syria. His home used to be safe but now, nowhere is safe with all the war going on. Joseph is a Jewish boy. The Nazi's do not treat Jewish well, so Joseph and his family have been forced to flee Germany. Isabel lives in Cuba. Isabel and her family are escaping the country and planning to head for America. Her family must escape before the soldiers arrest her dad. They are all different but there's one thing they have in common... They are Refugees. 

These are the questions we have to answer

This is what I've written down as the answers

Super six sentence story!

Six Sentence Story

Hi, In my L3 writing group with Koka Terri we have been learning about six sentence stories. We had a choice of making one with character chooser or you could make up your own Character. I chose to make up my own character. After you had made up a few you would choose the best one. This story is about a talented young girl who is a singer

Guess the animal!

Guess the animal!

Hi, this is a blog post about one of my quickwrites. We had an option of 3 animals. Once we had choose an animal we had to write about. Then we had to describe it in sentences. I found this learning fun because it wasn't that easy but it wasn't that hard. Try and guess what animal i've chosen!

The Chase

The Chase

We have been learning about Storybird, this is our second attempt. We are allowed to change the picture but not the words that are set!  The Chase was created on Storybird, Storybird is a website that you can write poems, long form books or picture books on! I think it's super fun because it's a good chance to be creative.
