Suspenseful Beginning

Hot wind flowed lightly through the night carrying a burnt smell that would change the world. A tall Rod lifted his head and began to run away from the giant, burnt, fleshy blob. He looked human except for his half bio mechanical suit. He blinked in surprise. The message had been correct: they were here. Or were they? He weighed the odds, then said “I hope this is it.”

In writing this week, we have been learning how to create a suspenseful beginning through imagery and dialogue.  Imagery means using vivid language based on the senses.  Good writers use sensory experiences to make their readers have a feeling of suspense.  Suspense is a feeling of excitement and uncertainty about what will hapen next.  Dialogue is a conversation between characters.

I enjoyed writing the suspenseful beginning

Matariki – Waita

This week we have been preparing for the Matariki festival.  In class Miss Tele’a showed us all the different stars, and let us decide which task we would do.  I decided to do the marine biologist task that relates to the star Waita.  Waita is connected to the saltwater oceans and seas and its inhabitants.  I chose the marine biologist task because I have a lot of knowledge and interest in this area.  Did you know we have only explored 10% of the ocean?. I enjoyed searching up the many wonders in the sea. I did good at doing it pretty fast. I need to improve on remembering the name of the horseshoe crab.

Slide 2 is like a contents slide, if you click on the names of the sea creatures, you will go to a slide that explains that sea creature.

 

Making Connections with Pests

In reading this week we have been focusing on making inferences and making connections.  When we make connections, we can connect text to self, text to text, and text to world.  My group read the story called “Designed for Good” which is about making a trap that can change the world. I enjoyed wiriting the sentences. I need to improve on thinking and remebering faster. I did good on writing the first sentences.
