Palindromes Poem

Unicorns

Fluffy and pretty

Powers with horn

Amazing

horn with powers

Unicorns

This is a palindrome poem. These poems are when you write something in a poem style but it is backwards with the wording. I decided to make a palindrome poem about unicorns because they are my favourite animal. I enjoyed making this poem because I like how I did it and how it turned out. This was difficult because it still needed to make sense both ways. 

Hope you enjoyed :)

Quatrain Poems

In libraries there are books
You can get out or return
There are so many things to out-look
Bookworm is what you can turn

The butterfly
Fly through the sky
Its wings spread
Then the caterpillar will try

I like fries
They're much better than guys
Fries are nice and crispy
But guys are too talkie

Calendar art galore
Pencils and Pens
Paper and card
The summer begins

Kia Ora, Bonjour, Hello everyone! How is your day?

In class, we have recently been learning how to make different kinds of poems. This is a quatrain. The key thing to make it a quatrain is to have it rhyme in different kinds of patterns. It is usually four lines. My favourite poem is probably the library poem. I enjoyed this activity because it was really fun to make poems because I like the way it sounds when it rhymes. This was difficult because I could not think of words that rhyme.

Limerick Poems

There once was a unicorn
She was always scared of corn
Magic Powers that she do
She did a colourful poo
She had clothes that she outworn

There once was a girl named Elise
Her friends Dad is a police
She loves to draw lots of cats
Once she has seen rats
She sometimes and usually says please

Kia Ora, Hello, Bonjour everyone! How is your day?
Recently we have been learning how to write different kinds of poems. This is a limerick. A limerick has 5 lines. The pattern of what words ryhme is AABBA. Which means that the two top lines and the bottom line rhyme and the third and fourth lines rhyme. I enjoyed making these two poems because it is really fun in general. It was hard to try and think of things that can rhyme though. Soe of the sentences don't really make that much sense, but it rhymes.

Calendar Art

Kia Ora, Bonjour, Hello Everyone! How has your day been?
Every year we make a calendar art of a different kind of style. If you don't know what calendar art is, it is a piece of artwork that every class does if your school does it. Each class makes different kinds of art. This year Miss Farr (our teacher) has decided to take a picture of us pretending that we are thinking of something. Miss Farr said that we should draw a picture of our favourite place that is anywhere in the world. I choose to do Raglan. Raglan is a beach that is great for surfing. We didn't go surfing there, we did do boogie boarding. It was always so much fun. We had to put our name and 2022 because that is next year and these calendars are for next year. I am really proud of the bubble writing I did of the words. I enjoyed making this artwork because I think that it's so cool and I am proud of the whole thing. This was difficult because when we were planning on what our favourite place is, I could not remember what it was called. I asked my Mum and then she said Raglan.

I hope you enjoyed :)

Transformations

 

Kia Ora, Hello, Bonjour. How has your day been?
Miss Farr (our teacher) showed us this video and tasks to do bout this particular maths task. We are learning about transformations. A transformation is changing something into something else. The transformation part is rotation, reflection and translation. We had to make a slide for these three transformations. We had to find three logos of a company or something else that has a logo. We had to explain the logos about what they are and how it relates to rotation, reflection and translation. After we did that, we had to make a logo for ourselves and the class. I made it on this drawing app on my Chromebook then took a screenshot and now posting it on my blog. The logo that represents me is 5 unicorn horns. And the one that represents Whenua (our class) is a mountain and a river across it. I choose to do that because Whenua in Māori means land. The picture that represents me is rotation because they are all the same. The one that represents Whenua is a mirror image, the green part (mountain) is the same from top to bottom and the river is the same if you flip it so standing up. I enjoyed this activity because it was fun to make my own logos. This was difficult because it was hard to find logos that have either rotation, reflection and Translation.

Cleirhew Poem

Katelyn
Her Dad loves bacon
She was born on Thursday
She wears hearing aids.

Little red riding hood
Her Mum sent her with a basket because she could
She wore a red jumper
To visit her Grandmother.

The three little pigs
Their names were youngest pig, middle pig and oldest pig
They have twisted tails
Going on trails.

Garfield
He doesn't like running on fields
Lasagna is his favourite food to eat
He has ginger feet.

Kia Ora, Bonjour, Hello Everyone!!! I hope your day has been going great, amazing, fantastic, wonderful, splendid and magnificent. 
In class, we have recently been learning how to make different types of poems. This poem is called a Cleirhew poem. This poem is a poem that has two lines at the start that rhyme and the bottom two lines that rhyme. Miss Farr (our teacher) said that we have to make four poems. One about ourselves and three about made-up characters. I choose to do little red riding hood, The three little pigs and Garfields. I choose Garfield because when I was little I watched Garfield all the time. I enjoyed this because it was fun to make it rhyme. This was difficult I could not think of anything that rhymes with Katelyn, I finally thought of bacon after a while. I kept on wanting to write woods for the little red riding hood but that does not rhyme because of the s.

Epitaph Poem

Here lies a man named Garry Bositions

He always spills positions

He's really smart 

Until he does a great big fart

Here lies a man named Borey

He went to a stream and was swimming

He found a fish named Corey

He realized he was underground dreaming

Kia Ora, Hello, Bonjour. I hope your day is amazing!
We have recently been learning how to make different kinds of poems. This is an epitaph poem. It is a poem that is usually serious for people's gravestones. Miss Farr said that we were going to make funny epitaphs. I am not sure if the poems I made were funny or not, I tried to make them funny. I enjoyed this activity because it was fun to make the poems in general. This was difficult because it was hard to think of funny words that rhyme.

For the rest of term 3 this year, we are going to make different types of poems. This is an acrostic poem. It is when you choose a topic and choose different words that go with that topic word. You put the topic word down the page. I choose to do one of my poems about unicorns becuase I like them and my other poem is about birthdays, I choose thsi word because my birthday is coming up. I nejoyed making these poems a lot. It was fun to think of words and sentence's for unicorns and birthday. This was diffiuclt becuase sometimes I couldn't think of words for them.

Paralympics - Lesson 9/10

 

Kia Ora, Bonjour, Hello everyone! Hope you are having an amazing day!

This is another Paralympics lesson. This is the last lesson for this whole Paralympic activity. First, we had to brainstorm ideas of what an ad tries to do and where you can find ads. Then we got to make an ad for the Tokyo 2020 Paralympics. It was really fun to make and I am really proud of myself. I enjoyed this because it was fun to make the video because I like to make videos and I do it a lot. This was difficult because it was hard to think of places where ads are because I could not really think of that much for it, but I still really enjoyed it.

Paralympics - Lesson 8

 

Kia Ora, Bonjour, Hello Everyone! How has your day been?

This is another Paralympics lesson, this is lesson 8. First, we had to look at the medals that the athletes get for winning, we had to write 3 - 5 words that describe the medals. Then we had to read an article and watch a video about the medals. We had to answer questions and write one-two sentences. We had to read another article about the athlete's village. We had to make a brainstorm about the accessibility of the athlete's village. I enjoyed this activity because it was fun to answer the questions and make the brainstorm.

Hope you enjoyed :)

Paralympics - Lesson 7

Kia Ora, Bonjour, Hello. How has/was your day been?

This is another Paralympics lesson, this is lesson 7. First, we had to read a piece of writing about Someity. Someity is the mascot of the Tokyo 2020 Paralympics. They show determination and try their hardest. After that, we had to watch a video about Someity. Then we had to write what colours and symbols we think represent New Zealand. Then we had to answer the questions about Someity. We then got to design a New Zealand mascot for 2020 Paralympics (it would not actually be the mascot). I made 3 drafts then I drew one that I liked. I named them based on what they looked like. My Dad thought of the name for Wheely William because I could not think of a name. My Dad said that he saw someone in a costume at his work that looked like Jessica (draft 2), with the cap and everything. I liked Wheely William the most because he represents the Paralympics most with his wheelchair. I coloured William in and wrote NZ Paralympics on him but you can't see it so I wrote next to the picture what it says (it does not say write on it, I just wanted to make sure that people know what was writen on it). I enjoyed this lesson because it was fun to draw the pictures. This was difficult because I was trying really hard to get a good mascot but it was still fun. I made all the mascots into kiwis. 

Hope you enjoyed :)

Back to school

 

New Zealand is not in lockdown anymore.

Kia Ora, Bonjour, Hello. How has your day been?

Miss Farr (our teacher) has given us this sheet to fill out about how we are feeling about going back to school after level 4 and 3 lockdown at home. First, we had to put an emoji about how we are feeling. I put a very smiling emoji because I am excited to see my friends again for 3 about 3 weeks. We had to write about what was different from home school to normal school. Then I answered 4 questions. I made a lot of food and it was really yummy. I made chocolate chip cookies that I accidentally put 1/2 Tablespoon of baking powder, it is supposed to be 1/2 Teaspoon but I learn from my mistakes. I enjoyed this activity because it was fun to write what I did in the lockdown and what was different from home school to normal school. So basically I liked doing the whole activity. This was difficult because it was hard to find the pictures for the food I made, I found two pictures of the food. Chocolate chip cookies and banana muffins. 

I hope you enjoyed :)

Paralympics - Lesson 6

 https://sites.google.com/paroagrey.school.nz/williamstedman-tiffineyperry/home

New Zealand is in level 2 now but the schools are getting ready for us students to go back to school so we are still at home.

Kia Ora, Bonjour, Hello. How are you? How has your day been?

This is another lesson with the Paralympics. This is Lesson 6. We had to write 4 athletes from the Paralympics that we know the name of, then if we know, we write what sport they competed in. I remembered four athletes but only two of them with their sport. Then we had to choose an athlete, one male and one female, then research about them. I choose to do William Stedman (Athletics) and Tiffiney Perry (Wheelchair tennis). I never knew that these two athletes were even athletes because I have never heard about them, but now I know about them and can tell others about them. I made a website about these two athletes. It took me a while but I tried hard. The link to the website is at the top of this blog post. Then we had to pretend that we worked at stuff (news report website) and make an article about the Paralympics. We also had to put information about one of the athletes that we researched about. I choose to do William Stedman. At the bottom of the stuff report I wrote, stuff.co.nz, I am not sure if that is even the website link but I just put that there because I could.

Paralmpics - Lesson 5

 

New Zealand is still in lockdown.

Kia Ora, Bonjour, Hello. How are you? How is your day going?

This is the 5th lesson of this Paralympic stuff. The first thing that we had to do was, answer questions. The questions and answers I wrote are on the bottom left of the picture up top. We had to write a two-page spread about Paralympic sports. This was fun writing the two-page spread because it was fun and cool putting the pictures on the page. It was difficult to put the two pages together because the Paralympics logo I made was not attaching right so that the picture wasn't whole, I ended up with what you see in the picture up top.

What do you meme?

 

New Zealand is still in lockdown.

Kia Ora, Bonjour, Hello. How has your day been? I hope it has been amazing.

Miss Farr (our teacher) has given us this slide to fill out. It has pictures of animals and we had to try and make a caption that is funny to go with the picture. I don't know if these are actually funny. Write in the comments if you liked it and you thought it was funny. I enjoyed this because it was fun.

Hope you enjoyed :)

Paralympics - Lesson 4

 

New Zealand is still in lockdown.

Hi, Kia Ora, Bonjour. How are you? 

This is lesson 4 of the Paralympics. First, we had to answer questions about what a value is, what do you value and why do people value different things. I don't know if we had to draw something, I think we did, I did draw a picture of what some people value. Then we had to choose a Paralympian out of Sophie Pascoe, Scott Martlew, Cameron Leslie and Emma Foy. I choose to research about Sophie Pascoe. The Paralympic slide gave websites that tell you about those four athletes. Sophie Pascoe, Scott Martlew, Cameron Leslie and Emma Foy. Then we had to make a fake Instagram post about a Paralympic athlete, I choose to do Sophie Pascoe. At the bottom of the fake Instagram post, I put Sophie Pascoe's real Instagram because.... well I don't know why. I enjoyed this lesson because it was fun to do all of these lesson activities.

Katelyn News - Lisa Adams - Quiz

 

New Zealand is still in lockdown.

Hello, Bonjour, Kia Ora everyone. How are you?

Today we did a quiz. My Mum and I did it. We got 10 out of 19 questions right. It was fun to do the quiz. Miss Farr said that we had to make something out of one of the questions. One of the questions was about Lisa Adams with her winning a gold medal. We got that question right because I just remembered that she won a gold medal, not silver or bronze. I decided to do Lisa Adams because the Paralympics is on right now. I made a Katelyn news video. I decided to do it outside because it was sunny. Max (my dog) was in the video too. It was funny when I was asking him what he thought of this act and he tilted his head. You couldn't really see him do that in the video though. I enjoyed making this video and find stuff about Lisa Adams.

Area of irregular shapes

New Zealand is still in lockdown.

Miss Farr has sent us a video for us to watch and a google drawing for us to fill out. We are learning about perimeters, around a shape. This is for us to learn how to find the perimeter but with an irregular shape. I don't know if I got all of these right but I tried. I enjoyed this activity because I learnt how to do it. This was difficult because the last two questions were confusing, I just did the same with the shape there.

Paralympics - Lesson 3 - Accessibility

 

New Zealand is still in lockdown.

This is the 3rd lesson of the Paralympics slide. I had to explain 3 things that I learnt from lesson 2 Paralympics to someone. Then I had to find the distance and how much it would be to get to Tokyo/Japan from different places in the world. After that, we had to read this article about cars/buses/scooters that people with disabilities can use. Then we had to choose one of the vehicles and write about it. Next, we had to bullet-point 10 changes that improve accessibility. After that, we had to choose somewhere in our city or town about where one of these cars/buses/scooters, we also had to make a sign that tells people that there is one of these vehicles.

Spider

 

New Zealand is still in lockdown

Kia Ora, Bonjour, Hello. How are you. Hope I did not scare you with Larry the spider.
On Monday night, my parents and I were outside. Then we saw this ginormous spider, dad had already named it Larry. I was confused why he called it Larry because it is so random. I am really scared of spiders so I was so scared about this spider. We sprayed it so it did not get in the house because it was close to the vent and we don`t want the spider to be on our bed. The spider landed on the floor. I was scared to go anywhere near it. We picked it up with a paper towel and got rid of it. Ummm...... so yeah.

I hope you enjoyed :)
