Persuasive Writing

So, I was rolling around in my drafts, and came across one written not too long ago. Less then a month. So, here it is! :D

This week we have been writing Persuasive texts. Mine was about how Weekends Should be 3 days long. To be honest, the whole thing was pretty easy, except for the part that I lost my 1st plan, and had to rewrite the whole thing again. At least I remembered most of it. Not all of it though D:

 TERM 3 TECHNOLOGY

For technology this term we got into groups (Me, Lucas S and Logan) and started to make "Our own muesli bar company". Our company is called Triple J. Why, do you ask? Well, all our middle names start with J. Hey, Lucas even thought of making our own fake website. (😛) And he did! *NOTE - IT ISN'T REAL* We pretended we had a really big company and we made muesli bars. Well, the muesli bar part is real..... 

Term 3 Calendar Art!

 This term in Punui O Toka we have been doing calendar art. I was in the dot art group, and it was very fun. I'll explain how it went down. First, you had a sheet of paper with some circles already on it and you had to color them by putting your cotton bud(s) in some paint and dab it on. 

Once we did that, we moved onto our plan the next week and had to draw our lines indicating where the dots would be. Once we did that, we had a piece of black paper and copied your plan, drawing in pencil where your dots were going to be, yet again. 

When we were done, we had to do basically the same thing we did with our first draft, put the cotton buds in the paint (lightly!) and then dab it on the paper over our lines. It was easy and hard at the same time, you had to be very patient and precise. What I found easy was putting the paint perfectly on the lines. What I found hard was being patient and how the cotton bud you were using always left a faded spot in the middle after a few times. As shown below.

Have a happy holiday!

Army Band :D

 Yesterday the whole school went to the hall and listened to the New Zealand Army Band! Before they came everyone thought they would come in and shoot us with Remington 870's and MD Falcon Fighter Jets. (LOL) But, once we all went in and saw them, our minds COMPLETELY changed. Their music was so good! Trumpets, hose instruments, drums, it was all so good. We sang something, let it go (NOOO!) Savage love and something else.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             

Monday P.E (OOF)

 This morning all the year 6's in the class went to P.E in the hall, and it might be the worst P.E that we've ever done. As I'm writing this I have a really bad headache, probably the worst I've ever had. I'm screaming inside. Anyway, we did relays, and the three relays we did were bear crawls (Thank God I didn't have to do it because the teachers stopped it early), frog walks and something else I ALREADY can't remember. But all of it was so hard, you don´t even want to know about it. But yeah, I can´t find the video, and I don´t have anything else to say, so bye.

Describing a moment in time!

Writing: Similes

Today in our writing mini lesson, we had to fill out some boxes with similes. Now, you probably know what similes are, but if you don´t, I´ll refresh your memory.
A simile is describing something/someone as if or like they are something/someone else. It can NOT be a simile if it does not have as or like in the sentence.
Example- like: The lightning appeared so quick it was like it teleported.
Example- as: The sun shone as if it was a pot of gold.
Now, here´s mine. Hope you like it :D

Wonder me & Zoos are *NOT* cruel

In reading, after the initial activity in my debate group (Zoos Are Cruel), which was to state your opinion about whether zoos WERE cruel or not (NO they are not!), we got to go onto a wonder website and create your self. Quick note - you only see one eye, you only got one eye! Anyway here are them both.
