Rainbows, how do they form

Hi guys,

Welcome back to another blog post. This week for writing I did a explanation writing on how rainbows form with Mr Williams. Explanation writing is a piece of witting were you are explaining to some one how something works. So here is a piece  of writing that I wrote about how rainbows form. I hope you enjoy. 

How do rainbows form 

 Have you ever wondered how rainbows form? I know, but there are some things that maybe you didn't know about rainbows like that we see the rainbows colours backwards. I know right. The first step to making rainbows is …

 The first thing that creates a rainbow is after it rains the light from the sun will enter the droplets of water.

 Secondly when the sun exits the water droplets and realises colour making the sky colourful.

 Finally is when a rainbow appears. The colours of the rainbow are red orange yellow green blue indigo and violet. A good way to remember this is ROY G BIV. A rainbow is actually a circle but we only see half from the ground. Lets recap. First the light from the sun enters a water droplet. Second the light exists in the droplet and releases the colour. Third a rainbow appears. To see a rainbow you must be facing the rain and the sun must be behind you.

A letter 

21/09/20

 Dear Emma, How is school ?? I am writing this letter in writing because we are allowed to do a letter. When I saw that I could do a letter I thought of you and how I am seeing you in the holidays. Have you played any sport this term ?? At school the year 5s and 6s went to hornby high every friday afternoon of 6 weeks to play your chosen sport. I chose netball. I was on wigram A team with my friend Izzie. I have missed you ever since I last saw you when I was in Gore with Dad. Have you been swimming lately ? In term 2 my class and Josiah's class went swimming. Then lockdown happened. We still had 4 days of swimming left when we went into lockdown. So this term we made up for those 4 days and went swimming again. It was awesome. On the second to last week of school on Thursday I presented at the student summit. The student summit is where students from all over the Uru Manuka cluster present something they know and teach others how to use it on a chromebook. Or you just watch it. I presented with daniel. He spoke and I answered questions. It was awesome. We taught people how to use scratch. After the presentation Mrs Lee took all the presenters ( 4 people ) in her car to muffin break during lunch. It was delish. I had a chocolate milkshake yum yum. Have you ever helped out at a school event ??. I did. At lunch one time Me, Kezia and Peter went down to the hall and helped out at the orienteering course. We had to write their names on the piece of paper and tell them what to do and the time so we could see how long it took them. Peter though, half way through slipped under the table and went out to play soccer. It was really crazy but I enjoyed it. I hope your doing well

 From your BFF Ella.

Persuasive writting.

Why we should have more school competitions Hi, I am writing this because I would like this school to have school competitions. I have lots of good reasons and solutions for problems that may happen during this time. Enjoy How will it help students ?? Well, if you have a competition with teamwork it could build friendships and strengthen them. Learning how to be in a team would also happen to people as well. You can learn to solve problems rather than make them. It would be good for your personality. Who will plan it ?? Glad you asked. We could assemble some responsible people and some house captains to be a competition team. Every month they would stay after school and have a meeting or have one at lunch. They would come up with a competition and plan it all. ( About the team ) who would do what ( like plan the prizes) Well, everyone would have a signed position right from the start. They would be led by 1 or 2 people who will be in charge of everything and anything. What kind of competitions would there be ?? Glad you asked, that is up to the team. But don’t worry they will be school appropriate. I hope I have convinced you. Bye

Student summit 2020

 Hi guys,

Welcome back to another blog post. Today I presented at a student summit. The student summit is were some children from each of the schools in our cluster show other students in different schools than them how to do or create something. Me and my buddy Daniel taught people how to do scratch maths. It went really well in the 2 session but not that well in the 1st. In the 1st session people were very silly in the chat and we did not get to finish. But it was our 1st time so no one minded. I don't think so anyway. In the 2 session everything went really well. No one was silly and we got to finish the presentation. For the 3rd session I went to kezia and jaydah  how to embed a 4 things into our blog. For the 4th session I was with some people who's name I can't rember . They taught me how to use prezi but because of technician reasons I could not create one.

Monster,setting and pick a path writting

 Hi guys,

Welcome back to another blog post. For the past few weeks me and my writing group have been working hard with a task we were given. First in was simple. Chose a picture and write the 5 sences into a plan  I chose a picture of a cave that leads out a lagoon. Sounds easy right ? Well it was but then we had to team up with 1 or 2 people with the same picture as you and do the exact same plan. So I teamed up with Skyla and Karaitiana. We did it and it turned out awesome. Then we had to write a 5 paragraphs together about the senses. It was getting hard now. Then we had to add our monsters into our story. ( Go check out me monster post to met MY monster ). Once we did that we were given the task to think of a problem and suliton and then. I was away that day so I missed out on doing it. Then in out group we had to think of a problem and do a pick a path about in the same setting that we had been doing from the start with our monsters in it. Once we did all of that we had to put it on a slide show and post it to the blog. I hope you enjoy the slide show. As you can see I have worked hard doing this so please comment on it. It is not finished so enjoy what is there already.

Whats the matter ??? Comic strip

Hi guys,

Welcome back to another blog post. This week for reading I read a book called whats the matter?. Its about a boy who sees a flyer about a machine that can provide everything. He decided to get one. So when he git his it said you have to use 3 words or under. The first thing he wished for was ice-cream. That did not go so well. So he asked for his own video. That did not go so well. After a couple of wishes his room was a mess. He knew that his parents would not like it. So when he heard his parents coming down the hallway he sat on the machine and said " CANCEL"... Our task was to make a comic strip that shows what we thought would happen. This is mine.

My flowaden

Hi guys,

Welcome back to another blog post. For the past few weeks my class ruru have been writing and creating our very own monster. My one is called a flowaden. She is a mix between a flamingo, a panda, a penguin, and a owl. My flowaden is named lily. Here is a character description and a google drawing picture of her. I really like comments from my readers. Whenever I see I have a new comment I feel warm inside and have a good day. So please comment. Enjoy !!!

WALT

 We are learning to write the problem in narrative.

We are learning what the structure of a narrative is and how to set the scene

We are learning to introduce the characters into the narrative

We are learning to write the solution  in a narrative

This is my planning sheet for  lily

     My Monster Lily

I have an amazing secret to share with you. I hope you can keep a secret ! I have a monster. A kind and thoughtful monster, NOT a mean and scary monster. Her name is Lily.

Lily is a flowaden. That means she has flamingo legs and beach, owl wings and eyes, panda spots and ears plus a penguin head. She looks weird but she is a great friend.

How is lily a floqaden. Well she was the 2 one ever to be alive. But now she is married and has children of her own. Sorry I am getting distracted. Her dad is a flamingo, her mum is a owl, her granddad is a panda and her grandma is a penguin. It is always a weird Christmas for lily.

Lily has a lot of actions. Lily usually eats 3 things: seeds,bamboo and fish.She lives with her husband and 5 kids in the biggest tree in crazy daisy forest. Her family is famous. Not because of their type but because lily is a pop star. 

Lily loves to do a lot of things. Like flying around,singing and parenting. Since she is a mix between not-turnel  and turnel creatures, she never sleeps.

This is a story/plan about lily

This is a digatial plan of what I wanted my monster to look like 

This is the my monster that has been drawn, coloured, cut out , laminated and been stuck on the wall

Can you find my monster ???
