Word of the week

This week the word is egregious. I thought egregious was something dangerous, but it's actually something extremely bad. I couldn't find a picture, so I made a picture using shapes.  I enjoyed making the picture because I normally never make a picture for the word of the week. It took a long time to write all of the synonyms because there is so many.

Africa

Today, when the year 7's (seven's) are at tech, Ngahere came to our class to learn about the 7 continent. Miss Farr (my teacher) put us in groups then give each group a continent. My group got Africa! First, we had to reach search about our continent then write it on a piece of paper. When we have all of our facts we had to write our facts on our Chromebooks. I enjoyed this activity because I learnt some new stuff about Africa, I now also know all of the continents. It was difficult to fit all of the information in one square.

Water Worries

Some people don't even realize that water is such an important everyday thing.
After the Christchurch earthquakes, people have been very precious with their water and have realized that water is a very important resource. In the past, we didn’t use as much water as we do now. We get our water from lakes, streams, rivers, and even on top of our roofs in drains. Some water gets trapped by rocks, that's called groundwater. We don't see groundwater, you can't tell if it’s there or not but it's there. New water is never coming in, and no water is going out.
When we are brushing our teeth or drinking water, you could be drinking water from hundreds and thousands of years ago! (that's when the dinosaurs were here!)
Now every time you get some water from the tap, don't pour it down the drain because it’s the only water we got.


This week we had to read a book about water. We had to write an information report about water. It was cool when I learned that some water could be in this world for way more than only a couple of years. I am just amazed.
It was difficult to plan this writing because I lost my planning sheet.

I am poem

I am my hearing aids, they help me hear.
I am my dog, excited and happy.
I am my blog, I like to post stuff on it. 
I am "I can't get wet, or my hearing aids won't work.
I am eating, tasting yummy.
I am sleeping, relaxing in bed.
I am ballet, dancing around.
I am a lack of hear, I am half deaf.
I am singing, happy and proud.
I am "Jason did it", I always say that.

Today we had to get the poem we made yesterday and make another. We had to write ten (10) things we liked the most about the poem we did yesterday. then we had to say what things they do. I enjoyed making this poem because it didn't take a day to doa and because we didn't have to rhyme anything. It was difficult to make described words.
I hope you enjoyed my poem.

Matariki quiz

Today for literacy medals, I had to make a false or truth quiz about Matariki. I liked making up the question for the quiz. It was so boring linking them all up and sometimes I put the wrong links in it, but don't worry because I fixed everything.

This week miss Farr made us make a poem. My poem is about my childhood. We had to right in five boxes about something in our lives. You had to put action, objects, quotes, people and animals. My favorite part is the end part because it says that is that. (which means the poem is over). It was hard to rhyme everything.
