Moment In Time Week 7

Before we began our writing in small groups we discussed the importance of using descriptive writing, using similes and metaphors where appropriate, using dialogue and have done our best to make sure our punctuation is correct.  Some of us have even used ‘Show Don’t Tell’ in our writing to provide our reader with more of an experience.

Our teacher gave us 10 minutes for each paragraph and then 10 minutes for editing at the end.  We had so much fun working together!

If you have a moment, we would love you to comment on our writing.  

Boy Overboard!

In the Morning Jack was fishing with his father, he went to see the beautiful view. He leaned over the side just in the wrong time as the wave hit the boat   he fell into the icy water Jack screaming for help “HELP” he saw some sharks   teeth chattering under the water. He yelled at his dad for help but the dad was listening to some music. Jack quickly swam to the boat but his

I can hear the sharks grinding their teeth together and the finn bobbing up and down.  Jack’s heart was pounding as fast as a bolt that is shrinking earth..  Jack  screamed for help “HELP” yelled Jack and then he saw  Sharks coming towards him.  Hi was terrified from the skanks that are gazing in front of them.

Jack along with other shark’s smelled the petrol which bring the sharks to the boat and gave Jack time to escape from the area of sharks.  He quickly swam away from the sharks and swam to the other side of the boat but will he be fast enough to save his life?...

Cube 2

Kia ora .  This is my cube  reflecting on the past and the future like people who have past away in the past , our goals for the next twelve months and people that is important to you  and that mean well to you i wrote mum and rob , for the  people who have past in you'r family i wrote grandad and my goals were to be helpful and be respectful.  People also do this during matariki to reflect on there past

Making Manu (kite making )

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uj0MDEJTCoE

Kia ora Today me and Benjamin made a manu/kite for the matariki celebration. To do this hard work it
actually took us a long time ( about three days mostly weaving ). Also we tried not to get burned from the hot glue gun (it burns its really hot ).

 The easy part was measuring and the hard part was weaving. We used flax, wool and toetoe. To make the manu tukutuku you have to show your Tikanga and respect. Tikanga means why we do what we do, This respect me and my class have to show  is that we cut up all of the tiny parts of flax into smaller pieces. Benjamin was a great helper because help is needed

 Just incase you don't know what matariki is, it is a star there is also waiti, waita,tupu-a-nuku, tupu-a-rangi uru-a-rangi and wai-puna-rangi. They are bad because they tried to force their husbands to death.
 But that is just the story of the māoris.

 Anyway that's a whole nother page I am just talking about the celebration if you've been there you should know what happens I will name some things you will see, feasts , knuckle bones, kapa haka but as you should know about now maori people always say a karakia before they eat .

 We have not tried to fly the manu tukutuku (i do not even know if we will it's too thin).  For our celebration we had a festival in the hall , also we wrote some people that have past in the past.

 Matariki is a time to reflect our goals and then set another goal.

Comment/question

Comment.

I really like how you  described Ireland with descriptive words.  Maybe you should try Re-checking it a couple more times to see if it makes more sense.  Otherwise keep it up.   

Question.

Why did you choose this. How did you collect these pieces of information.  Nice job.

Harakeke

Purpose: Inform (share our knowledge and facts)

The story about the harakeke is that the rito (baby) is in the middle and then the awhi rito (parents) are on the outside of the baby to keep the baby safe.  Also the tupuna (grandparents) are on the outside of the mum and dad.

Here is some information about harakeke.  Harakeke is also known as flax.  Flax is often found in a garden.  Before you cut the flax say a karakia.  You have to say a karakia because I think your telling the grandparents that you are about to cut them.  Don't cut the harakeke in the rain.  You must  cut the harakeke when it’s not in flower.   When you are finished cutting the flax, the left overs must be cut up small and put under the plant to help it grow.   You can`t be messy, keep the space you are working in tidy.
