For this we had to pass around boys and girls so we could get a score and a team could win. We had to run fast and try and not make someone take off your rip because then it would been that the other team gets the ball and the team trying for the ball had to get the other team out. Then we got into little teams so we could practise our passing side to side with other people.

Kiwi Can

This week for Kiwi can our topic was doing the right thing when no one is looking and our theme was integrity. The first game we played was called fruit combo. Fruit comb is a game that uses fruit for instructions instead if using words that you would use in another game. For the instructions Apple was to move forward and Orange was to turn around so you face the other person that was behind you and Banana was to move back. After that game we were talking about people in our life who have shone integrity and doing the right thing when know one is looking. Some of us said teacher,mum,dad and grandparents. Then we did a knowledge game for this we answered some questions and to answer we had to say bang. l really enjoyed Kiwi can this week and l learnt how to do the right thing when know one is looking.

This week for poetry we were using the 6 hats to help us with a video which was about a story about a ladies called Charlotte Anne who wore boots and trousers. l was working with Magenta,Nevaeh and Joseph. We worked together to get this done so on the white hat we had to type all the things about who wrote the story who were the characters and what happened in the story. On the next sidle we were writing some vocabulary words to help us. For the red hat we typed some comments on her wearing trousers and gave our own ideas. The yellow hat says what are our actions to her wearing trousers for this l said it is normal because some other girls out they wear trousers too. The black hat says what are our opinions about life in Charlotte Ann's time after listening to the ballad my opinion would be that it would have to be very different from now to back in 1870. The green hat is when we had to list the benefits of Charlotte Ann's lifestyle and what other jobs could she had done in 1870. For this one l think she could have chosen to be a teacher  or a nurse because those are some jobs that ladies do but it was up to her to pick what she wanted to do.

Leap of faith

Leap of faith

I woke up wanting to soar across that lake of rhythm. I was afraid and my heart was
pounding hard. A strong wind rushed past, butterflies looped over my head and
beetles scuttled alongside bouncing grasshoppers. I was standing with one leg high
on that brown rotten branch. I spread my wings, held my breath and leapt into the air.
I was so excited to feel that fresh air as I glided high in the breeze.

My soft furry wings gilding throw the warm air and the sun shining high. As l was flying l opened my wide eyes to see food moving.
I was eager for delicious food my stomach was empty.  As a moved motionlessly to
see a worm and insects gliding through the grass. l wanted something to eat. l went
searching and searching for food and l found grasshoppers leaping around through
the green growing wild grass.

I was getting ready to jump and grab one for my lunch, but as l took one foot forward
they went faster and faster. l finally grabbed one and it tasted scrumptious.
I rested and heard birds tweeting away and trees moving side to side.

This week we were writing a narrative about leap of faith. We were using powerful words to make our sentences powerful. l tried to use more words and make my sentence powerful and try and make the reader get a picture in their head. l wrote about a owl flying in the air and breeze and looking for food around. This really helps me how to write a narrative and add powerful words.
