Learning Anytime, Any Place, Any Where.

The power of digital devices. Today one of our students was excited to continue their learning, that they chose to find a spot outside in the sunshine before school started and continue their writing. #growingheroes #studentagency #takingchargeofyourlearning

Persuading

This week in writing we have been learning about how to write a persuasive argument.

I found it challenging trying to find the right words for my audience.

Persuading my Mum to let me dye my hair.

Did you know mum that I wanted to dye my hair? I´ve wanted to for a  long time, it's, just the ends Mum and i will do it ones.

First Mum I disgustedly sorta don't like the colour brown because it makes me look like Teagen.

Second so I look nicer with colour Mum and, so I sort of look like you.

Third I want to be like you Mum, with pink and purple hair color, so I look different to over people.

I believe that  I should have my hair dye and I will not annoy-you anymore.

Door in the wall

This week in writing we have been writing a story from a picture prompt.

I found it challenging trying to find wow words to put in my story.

One fantastic evening a door popped up In my wall. But it was small. I told my mum she said fiddlesticks you don't have a small door in your room. So I said  come back and look mum don't see the door It's like the door chose me. When mum went out of my room a fairy came in she put pixie dust on me and I shrank. Mum said it's time for dinner I bet mum didn't see me coming down, She was a monster because she was so big and she made me go on the side of the wall. Because mum was running so that made me hit the wall . And then door opened I went in the door and there was a bunch off golden when I went In the door closed and I was stuck for an hour. Then the fairy came back and got me out of the small door then I went to sleep.

Vaporising machine

Coconut blindfold writing

​​​

This week in writing we have been learning about how to write a persuasive argument.

I found it challenging trying to find strongly words to convince my audience.

I felt strongly about coconut blindfold writing so choosing

that topic was easy.

Flying car

This week in writing we have been learning how to write a persuasive arguments.

I found it challenging trying to find strong words to convince my audience.

I found it easy about choosing the topic because flying cars was my favourite.

Have you ever been in a flying car ? I believe that inventors should make flying cars.

Firstly you could touch a white fluffy cloud. I have always wondered what a cloud would feel like. It might feel like a fluffy pillow.

Secondly, you could go a long way with one fill of petrol, because you always have to fill up your car with petrol AND you spend more money.

Thirdly you don't have to wait for traffic, because there are no traffic lights in the sky. You can go wherever you want.

In conclusion I really would like to see a flying car in the sky.     

More Singing Times

This week in writing we have been learning about how to write a persuasive argument.

I found it challenging trying to find strong words to convince my audience.

             More Singing Times

Did you know that if we had more times to sing we will become better listeners?

I want you to believe that we need more singing times.

First we need more times to sing because it is with your mode and we find it relaxing.

Second we love singing because we can express ourselves and it builds confidence.

Third since I have done singing in the school I have I have got very good and lots of us could because professionals.

So now you should know that we need more singing times !

Maui Dolphins

This week in Reading, we have been learning about Maui Dolphins and how there are only 55 left in the wild.  My poster is about the dangers they face.

BUBBLE SURPRISE

In Literacy I have been learning about vocabulary and WOW WORDS for impact. WE looked at a picture and thought critically about it. We  used lots of reflective questions to think about the picture. I found difficult the part was I had to try to use lots of wow words. I found making my picture was easy.

Did you know there lived a little girl with a big dream? She felt upset because none of her dreams ever came true. one day she woke up to a big fat surprise.  One of her dreams had finally come true but she wondered what it was?

It had a few little disadvantages though because all the cars were gone so she was wondering what it was but…  It might be one of her nightmares where all the cars disappeared and said she had to walk to school everyday, she really hoped that it was not.

One day outside she found out that everyone was floating on bubble she thought her dream had finally come true she just hoped it didn't turn into a nightmare. All of a sudden she fell asleep and dreamed that the bubbles will take over the world. All of a sudden she woke up and the town was scared  there was sticky goop everywhere everyone's shoes got stuck to the goop.

The bubbles picked up the people and took the to the dump where they all got dropped in the car smasher and died as soon as the poor little girl got dropped in she woke up screaming in terror, but she was relieved that it was just a dream or was it…

Vapourising Machine

My Vapourising Design

This week for literacy my group The Boy In The Dress were learning about black holes and we read a book called Beyond The Black Hole. We also watched a few videos about black holes. Black holes are quite interesting. 

In the book Beyond The Black Hole the characters in the story used a VAPORISING MACHINE to destroy planets and collect resources to help the Planet Earth. For our activity we had to create a vaporising machine on google drawings. It was fun creating all the shapes and labelling everything. I like learning about black holes!

More Morning tea

This week In Writing we were learning about persuasive writing. I found it hard to find strong words to put in my writing. I found it easy for find what topic I was going to write about. This Topic I chose was easy to write about.

Did you know that when children have a longer morning tea they get their work done faster? I believe that if we have 5 more minutes of morning tea. The children will get their work done fast and then be able to blog their work.

I believe that if you let us have a longer morning tea, we will exercise more and we will want to get our work done faster. As we will run around a lot more we will also learn better because we would have gotten rid of  most of the energy and we will be calm.

With a longer morning tea we get a larger brain break from all the work. We will also have a some time to go to the toilet and get a drink. With more time for eating  we will also get longer to play on the playground or in the hall if there is basketball.

Please keep in mind that if we have a longer morning tea we will get our work done faster. We will also have a better time to get our work blogged faster.
