Megan's Fascinating Recount

I was on the computer typing away. "How did this happen you ask?" Well a couple of minutes ago Mr.T told us to do three Haiku poems in our books and then publish them on the computer. So there I was rushing to be the first one finished. I liked having Mr. T as a teacher, he always gave us cool activities to do. Well what we had to do was type up the words of our haiku poems and then put fascinating coloured boxes behind them. Mr. T also taught us a couple of new tricks on the computer like, how to make a background, how to export something and how to do some more keyboard short cuts. My coloured background had to be a light shade and so did everybody else's. The wonderful things we had to have on our page was Haiku poems in a coloured box. Next to that we had to have a Japanese picture from kid pix. Under that we had to have three interesting Haiku poems and an illustration to go with each one also from kid pix... "I mean, how many things do we have to have for kid pix!?" The very last final touch has to be brilliant so it was our name in a coloured box or in my case a star. My star was yellow with blue writing. The final product looked great and so did everybody else's!

The Wonderful End

I'm In Brisbane!

Kia Ora Tumeke 12!
I've arrived in Brisbane and what an adventure that was! The plane was fantastic, very fancy and I had my own movies and games to keep me busy on the flight over. When I arrived in Brisbane I had to catch the airtrain to Southbank - I was extremely excited about this because I love to catch trains and watch the world ride by! I finally got off the train at Southbank to find that the bus I was supposed to catch left an hour earlier... Oh dear!

So I decided to head into Southbank to get some dinner and am I glad that I did. I found a yummy little burger cafe that had burgers the size of your head! They were humongous! So after I removed lots of the burger bits I could finally eat it all up - delicious!

Then I found a taxi driver who was very lovely but I wasn't sure that he knew where he was going. With a little help from his GPS system I finally arrived in my hotel. I have an awesome room with a giant television. (I knew you'd want to know that) I am heading off today to look around lots of cool schools, which I'm really excited about. Have a great week Tumeke 12!

So head over to Moturoa's blog and leave them some fabulous comments too!

Holiday Videos

At the start of Term 2, Tumeke 12 worked hard at writing recounts of a holiday event and then recording them as video's. They used some steps to help make sure they were making their story interesting for their audience.

These are the things that they assessed themselves on:
* I spoke with a clear voice.
* I used a good pace that wasn't too fast or too slow.
* I used interesting expression.
* My story was interesting for my audience.

It has been a VERY busy term and we have just loaded the last of the video's. Tumeke 12 would love your feedback on their videos - as you are their audience! We will be recording some more videos using a cue prompter to help us look at the camera when we talk. Thank you for watching our videos and leaving us a comment to help us improve our learning!

How to Live on Earth

We are learning how to write instructions for an audience. In class we have looked at all the things we need in our instructions to make them great. When we write instructions we look for things like...

* A title telling us what the instructions are for
* A list of all the things our audience will need
* Bullet points or numbered steps
* Instructions that are in order
* Short, sharp sentences
* Imperatives or Bossy words to start each instruction

Our friend Zog is coming to Earth but was scared because he doesn't know how to live on our planet. So we wrote him instructions explaining to him how to live. Click on the picture below to check out our book for Zog!
