Kia ora and welcome back to my blog! In lock down we did online google meets for our learning! For my writing we had do persuasive writing about if all kids should be online all the time. Persuasive writing is an argument if you want something. You have to have at least 4 reasons on why you want that. You also have to choose a topic, like say you wanted to have school breaks longer you have to choose a topic you could right your reasons in a letter or on a TV. You could do anything to show to the government so they can show people so they will make school breaks longer!
Here is my persuasive writing! Have a good look!
Grit and perseverance are really good life brain questions to help people when they are struggling. It's kind of like a life hack but in a good way. When you fail at something or you are struggling perseverance or grit comes into your body. Me and my reading group had to write about grit and perseverance. I did mine on a google slide. I will show you my slide!
How have you shown grit or perseverance in you life? You can find out mine in my slide that I made!
Hello, and welcome back to my blog, for writing today we wrote about a little girl and her mum donating toys to an orphanage. It was about grit and perseverance. Its like putting somebody else before yourself, or putting yourself in someone else's shoes. Here is my story
Yellow Umbrella
Early one dreadful morning, the old brown wooden door to Miss Elem’s Home For Children creaked open. The girl with the lemon coloured umbrella cautiously entered the orphanage before finding a cosy bucket for her umbrella. Not wanting to be seen, Boris quickly turned his head around the door frame quickly so that he was hidden from view of the little girl and her mum. Standing off to the side the little girl watched the exciting scene as different children reached into the brown crinkled box for hidden things. The young girl smiled as she watched the young little boy speeding around the room like a UFO. Her smile slowly dropped as she looked back to the wet rusty umbrella stand and all she saw were puddles. Her beloved yellow umbrella had vanished.
Do you know what perseverance is?
Hello and welcome back to my blog, I hope you had an amazing holiday. This week we have been gathering data about lots of things. But today we were gathering data about birthday months on graphs. We had to make two graphs and put it onto a google drawing. We had to write about how common and uncommon birthday months. The most common birthday month in Tumu Hub is April. The most uncommon birthday is July. There is only one person's birthday in July.
Here are my bar graphs.
What date is your birthday?
On 20th of May Tumu Hub went on a town trip to Margaret Mahy. We all had to do activities in our teams. The activities were Waka, Victoria square, Tuna and Mats.
My favourite part of the trip was tracing the etchings on the ground. There were tracings on the ground of pictures from when the Māori people came to New Zealand. We had a piece of paper and a crayon to put on the ground on top of a carving.
Something I learnt was there are stories that are on the ground that are a bit hard to find but they tell a story. There is a picture of Tuna on the ground in the water playground and there were birds on the metal poles beside the water playground from The artists from Ngai Tahu. Many of the seats were shaped as a waka from when the Māori people came.
The thing I found the most interesting was the land at Margaret Mahy Playground used to be a pool with a gym and there used to be some markets there. But then they changed it into a family playground.
This trip has helped me with my PBL because now it is going to be easy to bring more Māori artwork into the school and to label things in Māori like the trees and the native things.
In Tumu Hub we saw the Gospel. We had to pick 3 questions from the Gospel to answer on a google slide. This is my google slide questions i answered.
