Summer Learning Journey Practice About Maui

Summer Learning Journey Practice About Maui

For the past few days this week we have been reading a legend Maori story, about when Maui caught the giant fish witch is the NORTH ISLAND!, and his ancestor Muriranga
whenua gave him a magic hook to catch it. His brothers didn’t want him  to go because they were going to catch heaps of fish, and there will be no more space for the mighty maui. Also they called him SKINNY!. So Maui thinked of a plan that he will sneak in the boat. So then they went on the boat and when they were out in the sea something happened……out came MAUI!. When they tried to get a fish they didn't get one. So maui got his hook punched his nose so the blood can go on it. So he waved it in the air and it went in the water and he caught the north island. I found it interesting how there are other stories like maui. It was like when Maui caught the sun and it was like this one but it was the north island.

The Starving Reindeer

This week we have writing a persuasion. It is when you change peoples minds. It was about why does reindeer's need food. I found it interesting because last week our teacher showed us a video about it.

Here is an example about my persuasion.


          The Starving Reindeer

I believe Reindeers need food because they carry father christmas a lot.

First reason is that the reindeers do hard work too much because, they keep on flying around at night and they need food to make them powered up. When they go to houses they have to carry heaps of presents and that will make there back hurt. Reindeers should deserve food because they carry Father christmas too much.

Second reason is that when reindeers move around like a bird, but more bigger  sometimes they get hungry and they run out  of ENERGY!. So they need lots of yummy  carrots. When They stop at a house they rest  for a little while, then santa comes and then  porely fly away. 


Third reason is that when santa goes to  houses he eats too much COOKIES AND MILK, and the reindeers just ge nothing but wind. Then when they fly they nearly fall down because this time santa ate even more. Then they go around without stopping.

Interviewing Santa

This week our teacher showed us a video about Santa. After she showed it we had to go on our Chromebook and then type in flip grid so we could ask questions and it was just like a interview. But next I should look at the person that I am talking to. Here is an example of my flip-grid about interviewing Santa.

News About Santa Arriving In New Zealand

This week we have been writing a news report about Santa. I found it interesting writing about it because when I was writing about it I put some interesting words in like dancing donkey.

Here is an example of my writing about Santa and his reindeer's.

News About Santa Arriving In New Zealand

    Friday                                12/25/2015

                   





 
THERE'S BREAKING NEWS IN NEW ZEALAND! and it is about Santa and I am talking about the real one with the flying REINDEER's , and guess what sometimes he doesn’t fit inside the chimney because he eats to much cookies, and he drinks too much milks. But when he comes out he gets STUCK. Then when he squeezes out the reindeer's make a happy face because they thought that Santa had some nice treats like carrots. After that when he comes up the reindeer's were so excited but then Santa said” sorry there's no carrots”, then the reindeer's burst with tears because they were so tired and hungry. 
When they go to another house the chair Santa sits on. It scrapes on the wall. Then when Santa went inside he thought about the reindeer's being so tired and hungry, and running out of energy. After that when, he looked out the window…he saw MCDONALDS so he went there and he asked the people if he could have some carrots and they said ”for who”. After that Santa said “it’s for my flying reindeer's” Then everyone was so surprised that it was the real Santa so they were normal. After that Santa went back up the chimney and then when he went near the reindeer's he opened the sack and then he said to the reindeer's “merry Christmas”. After that the reindeer's were so happy that they were happy like a dancing donkey.

The Day I Saved The El Dorado

This week we have been writing about a story. But first our teacher had to tell us that story, then we imagine what it's going to be about and then we write about it. I found it interesting how we could imagine the story we wanted to write about.

Here is an example of my story about the day I saved the El Dorado.

The Day I Saved The El Dorado

One day I was walking around El Dorado when I saw a group of children fighting then I went to solve that big problem. Then I backed up because all of the parents came rushing to the children and they got a stick and kept waking them until they cried. After that I went back to my golden kingdom. At night time I went to sleep until people from the Spanish team came, shooting with there mighty guns. Then when they saw El Dorado they kept getting people out of there houses and tied them with ropes. After that the entire city was captured except me by those greedy Spanish People. Then after the Spanish army left one of them said “their gold is over there” then the other one said “we will get it tomorrow”. When I got out of my kingdom I was worried because everyone was covered in so much blood and they were tied up. Then I freed them but it was the morning and everyone was tired but there blood was dry. After that I had to go to the river to get some water to make there blood come off. Then I, The golden man, said ”we should prepare tonight for the Spanish People”. Then it was afternoon and we worked together as a team then we got some rocks and get some of my golden dust and put it on. Then at that night they put all of there fake gold in a wheelbarrow and gave it to the Spanish people, and then they said “well that was easy”. Then when they left me and my city celebrated. Then when the Spanish people went back to their base and one of them dropped the gold, then it cracked then they saw black in it and they went super mad. But it was past midnight so they had to sleep. Then in the next morning in El Dorado all the people were hungry and they asked me if, I could get them food but there was no more weapons. Then I got some of the people to help me create weapons so we made some spears,bows and arrows then we got poisonous frogs to go with the bowen arrow. Then we caught food for them. At night time everyone went dead asleep but I didn’t because I had to keep in eye if the Spanish people came back. So some of my soldiers helped me. We kept super quite like a sneaky ninja and then we suddenly heard footsteps coming out of the bushes. Then the Spanish People came and they wanted revenge then me and my soldiers got our arrows and the poisonous frog. But some of them survived and then they ran away. But it was lucky Because I had a pet that was jaguar and then it had to chase the survivors and get them and bring them back to me. So I can see why they came here. When I asked them why they came they just said “we came because we wanted your gold”. But I said 


“YOU CAN’T TAKE OUR GOLD OR ELSE MY PET WILL EAT YOU BECAUSE HE IS HUNGRY”. After that it was night time and my pet was hungry so I gave the Spanish people to it.

The Story Of Chicken Licken

This week we have been writing a animated story about chicken licken. It was about a little chicken that tells other animals that THE SKY IS FALLING! but it was just a acorn that fell on his head. But when the other animals listened they didn't think that the sky can't fall. I found it interesting because when we were listening to the story we were critical thinking about why did the chicken say the sky is falling. Here is an example of my slideshow about chicken licken.
