Rapping

       Do you know what a rap is, and how to rap?

This week on Monday we were learning to rap with a book called Fox in socks. 

We had to rap with a Doctor Suess book and put music behind our rap. 

We also had to get into groups of four I went with Noah, Dev, Alicia.

It was lots of fun.

 

 

THE TAIRAWHITI MUSEUM TRIP!!!

In term 4 week one room 2 went to the museum we got to feel and look at some of the things in the museum we did some art and we had to first grab a picture and trace it with a pencil and then we had to use a long skinny stick with a pointy end to trace over the pencil line and and then we picked a color and paint over the picture and then put a piece of paper over the art and the picture and the picture that I traced was on to the peace of paper.

I enjoyed doing the art because it was fun doing something new at the museum because normily I just look around at the things in the museum and I also enjoyed the nice comments about my art and making people happy by telling them that there art looks good.😊😊   

I found it hard to rush my drawing because we were about to go back to school  an it was hard tracing the pencil line so I had to do it very slowly which took me a long time.

Next time I need focusse on my art and not wasted time looking over at other people's art to get ideas and only keep my eyes on my art and not talking to my friends Tia and Zoe.       

Snow

 

                             We were learning to paint a picture for a reader by using similes, verbs and                                                   adjectives we also had to write what we can hear, see, feel, smell, and what do you feel                                   about the winter weather.

                             I found it easy to find a cute snowman background and to write adjectives about my                                       winter weather story and to write about what I can see and hear and what do you feel                                     about the winter weather.

                             I found it hard to write about what can I smell because snow does not really smell and                                    there  are not many other thing to smell I also found it hard to write about what can you                                  feel because the only thing could think of is snow.

                             Next time I need to find a better way to write about what I can smell and hear and                                   work faster so that I can get it finished and move on to more of my work that needs                               to be finished. 

                             

The little curled koru!!

 

We were learning to write about a koru and describe what it looks like  and what it is.And to write a good sentences that describes what happens and what they do.  

I found it easy to upload a koru background and the to write adjective about what happens to the koru and what the do.I also found it easy to describe the koru and what it looks and how it curls into a ball and unwarps like a blooming flower. 

I found it hard to write a simile and verb about the koru and to choose the right color to make it stand out so that people can read it.

Next time I need to manage my time a effectively so I can get my work done more quickly.And to sit by people how will help me get my work done and encourage me to keep going.   

I found it hard to write a simile and a verb about the koru.   

What make a good blog comment.

 

We were learning  to recognise a quality blog comment and give reasons for our thinking.I found it easy to comment  a positive thought and helpful comment to make people think about using different things on their blog.I found it hard to choose which one is bad and with one is a good  comment and to make sore that I got it right.Next time I need to work with a buddy that I have not work with befor to see how  I work better with.  

Reading - Authors purpose.

 

We were learning what Author's Purpose is. Our learning assets were Kairangahau and Kaiwhakarite.I found it easy to circle questions.

Human Caterpillar

We were learning to make a human caterpillar.First we had to grab a handful of news paper ,  3 sellotape and 3 pairs of szers . Second we put all the paper into a line then we stacked more  newspapers on it. Third we had to get a long piece of sellotape and wrap it round the newspapers so that they would all stick together.

I found it easy to stack the paper on top of each other and taping the newspapers together and working with my team to try and make the human caterpillar.  It was also easy  to walk it the human caterpillar by putting my hands above my head so that the newspapers wouldn't rip.

I found it hard to flip the paper over without ripping it on the other side because only one newspaper was sellotaped so the over side just kept sliding off so we had to keep fixing it. And having to make each end touch so that there would be the top of the human caterpillar.

I really enjoyed working together as a team and working together to move in the human caterpillar and how everyone walking at the same past so that the newspapers didn't rip and seeing what it would look like once we were finished.

Next time I  need to think of a better strategy.
