treaty grounds

In Te Maunga we have been learning how to write a recount. I did well at writing the hook. Next time I could maybe make the hook longer. I hope you like my recount about our trip to the Treaty Grounds.

School trip to the treaty grounds

  DING, DONG, DING, DONG!!! The super loud bell rang and the cute and tough kids ran to their classroom  as fast as a lightning bolt zoom!! Everyone stumbled into a line and started to skip beside the beach. We could hear the bright blue waves crashing  into the sand. Then we finally made it.

 We walked up to the top of the hill then we all separated into three groups. First my group skated into the big white tent. We all paired up and we  got to choose a piece of flax and started weaving. We had to go  over under over under till we run out of flax.  We both did one side each then we tested them. Maybe next time there could be some wind so our kite could fly.

 Then our groups swapped to a different game. We were playing a game where we had to wear a blindfold and we had a rattle. I felt scared when it was my turn I was in the middle of the game then we had to go plant some baby trees.

 We had to get into buddy's again. We found a great spot in the moss. Lilli-Rose’s mum Nikki helped us dig the  hole. Then I slowly dropped the bring green plant in the hole and my buddy John fated the soil and we all walk back to the big white tent.

 We put on our shoes and grabbed our kites then started to jog back to school. We jogged down the path to the village green we ran across the field grabbed our bags and ran  as fast as the flash down to the bus. But I didn’t go on the bus I went with Nikki and Lilli-Rose too el Cafe. And that is the end of my story thank you.

Summary for Inquiry

In Te Maunga  We been learning about celebrations around the world and we were comparing how they are similar ad different to celebrations in NZ. I did well at finding the  information. Next time I do this I could add more info. Here is my summary. I hope you like it. 

The present

We have been learning how to write a recount. I did well at adding detail. Next time I could add some sound effects. We watched a video and we had to write a recount about it.

The present

One super sunny afternoon a tall 12 year old boy was playing video game and staring at the game and then his mum ran in the door slam!!! The boy was still playing his video games the his mum put a box right in front of him. He moved his head to the side growling at his mum then his mum stumbled up the stairs the boy was still playing the most awesome game  but hath looking at the box then he put his control and opened the box. When he was slowly opening the box a dog jumped out. But when the boy looked at the dog one of his legs has fell of. The boy just chucked the dog on the ground. The dog barked roaf roaf!!! The dog was upside down rolling around and saw a red bouncy ball on  the floor under a draw and the dog ran to it but he kept falling over. Meanwhile the boy grabbed his control then started playing video games again. Soon the dog came tumbling back. The dog did the most cutest puppy eyes ever for the boy to though the ball. The boy dropped his video games and wobbled on his feet butt he lost a leg as well. so he grabbed his and walk to the door and he said mom i will be outside. The boy opened the door and the puppy jumped around. Then the boy though the ball and the do to catch it. The boy laughed and the boy followed the dog happy.

We should have Chromebooks writing

In Te Maunga we have been learning how to write a  persuasive story. we did well at the success criteria, next time I could give better reason.

I THINK WE SHOULD HAVE CHROMEBOOKS

I think Chromebooks are great because you can give better evidence to the people who are teaching us.

First on Chromebooks it takes about 30  seconds  to find something online  but in a book it could take hours and hours of your learning time,  your teacher will get growly because you haven't done your work. if you are working on a different country and you have no idea about it you can look it up  online

Secondly, working on a doc with the whole class is better than writing by yourself on one doc because you can get feedback from your writing buddy. You can work on one project when you are really far away from each other.

Lastly Chromebooks can help you get better at your writing by learning new words on a online dictionary that you don't know. When you're older you won't make any mistakes in your paper work.

I think we should have Chromebook because they're great technology and you can do just about anything and when you have done your work you can play on it!
