Week 4: The Summarising Strategy

The Summarising Strategy

In Room 12 we have been learning about the summarising strategy, so I'm going to tell you some facts. If you copy someones work which means like there own book or writing that is called plagiarism. 
First of all I'm going to tell you about Key Words.  
Key Words are just some words that help you make up a sentence. 
Here is an example - I wil give you some key words about Little Red Riding Hood.

Example: 

Key Words: Little Red Riding Hood, Big Bad Wolf, Grandma

When Little Red Riding Hood was going to her Grandma's house she met the Big Bad Wolf.

(The words in the blue are my key words that I used)

Week 3: My Matchstick Name

Last week, my class and I tried to make our name out of 50 matchsticks. The first time we tried, it was a bit hard for some of us so we tried it the second time. 
The second time we tried, most of us got it, but we forgot to take the picture of our names. 
The third time we tried it, everyone got it right. 
There were two options you could choose to do but you had to do it with 50 matchsticks. 
The first option you could choose to do was you could make your name 1 metre long, or you could make your name 20cm tall.   
I chose to make my name 20cm tall.  My name has 4 letters in it, so I had 3 or 2 matchsticks left and we had to use all of our 50 matchsticks and the good thing was that we could overlap, I had to overlap because I only had a few matchsticks left.. I went well with my other letters which were L-I-V, but when I tried the Y, it was a bit hard and I had to do the Y about two times and then I got the Y perfect.
Our main part of learning was about learning how to measure properly. Our criteria was to make our name accurately. The way we measured accurately was that we used rulers.
We also tried to work out the total value of our names. 
The way we worked out the total value of our name was that Mrs Miller gave us a sheet and it had how much the colours cost us. 

Week 2: Pencil's Necklace

It was 2006 and Pencil was at the park. While Pencil was going down the slide she noticed that her necklace was not on her neck. 
"OH NO!!!!" cried Pencil. "Where is my necklace?" 
Pencil loved that necklace so much she could not ever lose it.
"Come on, time to go Pencil” said Pencil’s mum. 
"Okay", replied Pencil with a sad voice. 
Pencil did not tell her parents that she had lost her necklace otherwise they would be very angry. The next morning when Pencil woke up, she meet Elsa from Frozen. Frozen was Pencil’s favourite movie and she of course knew Elsa. 
“Hi Pencil” Elsa. 
“Hi Elsa”, replied Pencil. 
“What are you here for?" asked Pencil.
"I am here to help you find your necklace." said Elsa.
Pencil jumped up high because she was really happy. So when Pencil and Elsa reached to the park they start looking for Pencils necklace. 
“Look what I found” said Elsa to Pencil, “Is this your necklace?” 
"Yes, it is Elsa" Said Pencil
Then suddenly Elsa disappeared. 
“Oh” said Pencil. "I wanted to say thank you to Elsa for finding my necklace".

Week 1: In The World Of Space

I was sitting on the chair waiting for my clothes to get washed while I was reading a book about a Space . Wow, where am I? Am I in space? This is so cool, but how did I get here?
Is this a dream? So then I pinched myself to see if it was a dream. 
Ouch!!! This is not a dream, I was standing right in the middle of Venus Planet. I quickly need to jump to another planet. My feet are burning. So then I jumped to Saturn that was a little better than Venus but it could get me sick because it is very very cold. So then I just jumped on to earth - the best planet. Peep Peep went the washing machine because the clothes were washed. Was that just a dream? I said to myself.

My Holidays

On the first week of the holidays my family and I went to go watch the new Sponge Bob movie called Sponge Out Of Water.  We also ate some popcorn, the movie was 2D.  I would rate the movie a 9\10.  After the movie we went shopping, but I bought nothing because I did not want anything. Then It was time for lunch, so we went to get some McDonalds, we took it home and ate It.

It was a really fun day.

In the last week of the holidays my family and I went to Napier.  First we went to this car place called Turners Auctions.  We stayed there for a quite long time. Then we went to the beach and took some pictures of our Car because we were going to sell it on Trade me. Then we went shopping and I bought some Loom Bands because I thought to make a Loom Band Flower.  So then we shopped and It was time for lunch, so we went to Pizza Hut and ate the pizza there.   Then we went home.

I had fabulous holidays. 

Polly the Polar Bear

On Monday We had Mrs Hinde as our teacher and for writing she showed us a video about a pig called Ormie The Pig. We could write a story about any animal we wanted to so here is my story about a Polar Bear.

Polly was so hungry after her sleep she needed a good juicy fish so she started to look around in the ice. Poor Polly had to break the ice with her arm so that she could see if there were any fish. She kept on looking for a long time, finally there was a fish.

Her mother had said that since she was still a little polar bear she had to ask her mum before she could eat a fish, but Polly did not care to ask her mum, because she was too hungry and her mum was far away.

She used her arm and tried to break the ice so she could have her fish. But then there was a problem, the ice was very hard to break for Polly. Polly was going to ask her mum but she did not want to because her mum was too far away. Polly started to think of some ideas.

Number One was to get some water from the river and put it on that ice so it could melt but that was a big fail. Polly could not think of some more ideas, then she finally thought of an idea. The second idea she that she thought  was to get her friends. Her friend's names were, Holly and Molly and Jolly. They all got together and got two sticks each and they banged them so hard that they broke the sticks but the ice still did not break.

Polly was so hungry that she got her arm and just banged it on the ice and suddenly the ice broke. "Yeah!!" said her friend loudly. Polly could not believe it, so Jolly picked up the fish and she gave it to Polly.
