Water Pollution

This is my piece of writing on Water Pollution. Our task was to chose a world pollution problem and write about it. I chose water because it is what everyone is talking about. We had to write a paragraph about What it is, How it's caused, Who does it affect and How we can decrease it.

Motu

Last year our class cycled from matawai to opotiki. It took 3 days to bike all the way. We stayed the nights in woolsheds. The girls always got the best place to sleep while the boys had to sleep in the sheep pens. We had to climb up and over a massive hill and then free ride all the way down for probably 5km. On the way down 3 people crashed and one of them had a big scarp on their leg. For the final 2 kms we were biking in the sand dunes and it was a really good way to relax after 3 days of hard riding. When we got to optiki we sat down and ate the remaining food (slices, cakes, lollies, apples).
This ride is something I will never forget.

Weekly Workload

This is my weekly time table to show the learning I have completed this week. We are set tasks to complete as well as finishing the follow up from our workshops. I was worried I wouldn't get it all done but in the end I finished it to a good standard. The piece of work I am most proud of this week is my writing. This week I really liked the task we had to do in our writing workshop. I found it easy to make the sentences up by searching for different emotions and then writing a sentence about them.

Week 2 Timetable 2019

This week I finished all my work and in some areas did more than required.
I think I could try a little harder in my maths. I didn't do as much as I would have liked to but that is ok. The thing I am proud of this week is my writing. I think I made my point and it was a good persuasive piece of writing. When I recrafted I changed lots of "if's" to more powerful words to make it better.

Weekly Overview 2019

Q : What learning has stood out for you this week ?

A : The learning that stood out for me this week was reading. I really liked our reading tasks this week. I think the best one was descriptive language. The book I am reading is one that paints a really good picture in your head. I am also impressed with how many pages (234) I read in 4:16 hours.

Wrong Website's

This is a poster Jodi and I made talking about going onto wrong websites and how to avoid the wrong places. We had to make steps about what to do if you are on a wrong website and make a poster showing them. I found this easy because we had already learnt a little about it and it was just and recap plus more info. Next time I think I could add in more steps and maybe more information. I am proud of this because I think it has some good advice and information about what you could do if you become in this situation.

Commenting Do's & Don'ts

This is our Commenting do's and don'ts. I worked with Aaliyah and we did two do's and don'ts when we were only supposed to do one. We thought it would be good to do two because it is more information.  I found it easy to do this work because we were sitting together and we could verbally talk. We worked collaboratively and didn't get one person to do one thing and the other to do another. Next time I think we can make it a little more pretty and not just black and white. I found it hard to get my buddy to share her ideas but when she did she had great ones and we used them well. This was a fun and easy thing to do.
