Haiku Poem

 We did a Japanese poem called a haiku poem it has three lines. Each line has a different amount of syllables you have to understand syllables to write a haiku poem. The first line has to have five syllables  second line seven and five in the third line. I really enjoyed doing this but also found it quit challenging.         

Mr Invisible

First we had to make up a Little Miss or Mr men character then write a story about our character.  We had to have a problem, solution and characters.  

 PROBLEM

Mr space left Mr Invisible heading straight for then sun and his computer got hacked. 

SOLUTION 

Ring the police and turn around.

CHARACTERS

                                       Mr Invisible, Mr Space, Mr President,  Mr Police and Mrs Police.

Next we had to make an animation about our writing then record your self reading your story with the animation playing.

I had to make two chapters because we only had five minutes to record each video using Screencastify. My reading and my story was really long so it took more than five minuets to read. 

Here is Chapter one.

                                                                     

Here is Chapter 2

   

I found it hard to read all of my story in one video.  I liked doing the animation.

Growing My Own Kowhai Trees

 

I really wanted to find a Kowhai seed pod and one day dad came home from work with a Kowhai seed pod. Then dad said that we would plant them tomorrow. These are the steeps that we did. 1: Chip a little piece of the seed so you can see the cream coloured bit inside also make sure that you don't chip it where the seed sprouts from. 2: Put them in water and leave them to sit for 24 hours when they sink or swell they are ready to plant. 3: Plant them in a seed tray with seed raising mix it should only take 7 days to sprout and make sure to water them every second day.

 I loved growing my Kowhai seed's because it will look beautiful when it grows into a tree in my garden.

 

This is my nature creation, it is called shell academy where fairy's paint shells. There is some shells everywhere. The shell academy is next to the beach. T

hey have a little house where they all stay. That house has a path down to the beach on each side of the path there are pointy shells I think they are beautiful. I also made a mural by sticking little stones onto a piece of wood and there is a letterbox with a letter in side. The letterbox is a shell and the letter is a shell with little stones on it to.                             

I enjoyed this but also found it challenging.        

Family Photo Challenge

 

This is me and my family squished into a photo. we couldn't get the rabbits though. They were to fast. Not everyone behaved Hugh our dog kept trying to lick Lincoln and Belle the ginger cat was wiggling on the other hand Sam the grey and white cat was perfectly fine.

Nature Hunt

These are the pictures of what I found when I had the day off school!  We had the day off school because our wonderful principal said that we had been working so hard in lock down and that it was sunny so to celebrate we could have the day off school! We had only one task to do and that was to find some things that were out in nature. I didn't find all of the things but I did find some and that is what all of these  photos are and now I am going to describe what they are:                                      

The concrete fence is symmetrical, the flax has stripes, there is a cloud in the sky above the ocean the ocean is also wet and cold, the shell is intricate, when I rub my head across the tramp walls it goes all spiky because of the static electricity that was something I never noticed before, Pohutakawa flowers are beautiful, Lincoln, Hugh the dog and I playing in the waves is something special,  the moss is soft and the sand is soft to, the pink flower is tiny, Hugh and I playing on the beach makes me happy, the daffodil smells nice and the kiwi is unique to our country.  

I really enjoyed this day off school! and I just want to say thanks Mrs King!
