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

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.

WALT:Use prior knowledge and context to predict what will happen next.
