suffixes

Hi there blogging world, this week for literacy I made a suffixes poster. My poster is very simple but it tells you what a suffix is. Next time I would add more detail to my poster. I did not find anything challenging because I watched a suffix video and it tells you some suffix examples and what suffixes mean. I tried to make my poster as appealing as possible so it can attract people to read my suffixes poster. Please comment what you liked and didn't like about my suffixes poster. I hope that if you didn't know what a suffix is that by reading my poster you now know. Blog ya later

Procedure

This is a procedure I did in writing time. I included strong verbs and specific nouns. Feel free to try the recipe and give me some feedback if you made it. Our writing teacher said for each step in a procedure it needs to start with a bossy or strong verb. There is a success criteria and I have tried to complete everything on the criteria. This work was fun and fairly easy to write because I already know the recipe because my mum makes lots of things from scratch. Please comment on my blog work.

How to make thick noodles from scratch

The ingredients you will need are:

Flour

Water

Chopped up vegetables (of your choice)

Oil

The equipment you will need is :

Frying pan

Kettle

Sauce pan

Chopping board

Really big bowl/ basin bowl

Rolling pin

stove

Step one

Pour your flour into a large bowl or basin bowl. There are no correct measurements you just have to eyeball it. Pour as much flour as you want the more flour the more dough.

Step two

Pour some water and mix the water and flour with your hands. Keep on kneading the dough till it is at the consistency you would like if it is too sticky add more flour, if it is too dry add more water.

Step three

sprinkle some flour over the chopping board and plop your dough on the chopping board. With a rolling pin roll your dough on the chopping board till it is flat. Then chop it into strips.

Step four

Stretch the the strips of dough you have made  until they are very long. A tip to make them long is to move it like it  is a skipping rope but not too fast. Then boil some water in your kettle. Pour your boiling water into a saucepan place the saucepan on your stove wait until water is boiling then place your long strips of dough in the saucepan wait till all the noodles are fully cooked.

Step five

Pour some oil into a fry pan then add your vegetables then mix it a round and you have a stir fry add the stir fry to your freshly made noodles and there you have it it’s done.

cyber bullying comic strip

In cyber safety we talked about emails and the right things and the wrong things with my friends I made a comic strip about cyber bullying checkout my friend's blogs they also posted this comic strip on their blogs too: Joyce's blog   Hilary's blog   Joyce was the girl getting bullied and Hilary was the first person to bully Joyce and I was the second. The moral of my comic strip is if you do something bad then you will suffer the guilt and the bad consequences. Cyber jail is just a metaphor but when you cyber-bully sometimes you get privileges taken away so it kind of feels like your in cyber jail.  You should not bully whether it is anonymous and you don't get told off or whether it is in real life and you get told off. we used speech bubbles and a comic strip template.  First we took all our pictures then we added speech and we came up with a moral. I love making comic strips they are easy and fun and explained the moral very well please read comic strip and comment what you think I could do next and how I could improve on.

Sustainability infographic

 Hi blogging world it's Dora here with another learning blog post. For reading we read a book about sustainability and looking after the environment.  We also looked at an info graphic.  An Info graphic is a poster with pictures and facts.  So we made an info graphic about the book my reading group read. We tried to make it  as interesting and as cartoon like as possible. I think this is really important topic because we should always look after our environment so that we leave it in good conditions for the next generation. I think it is a very effective way to share facts because the pictures colours and shapes attracts lots of readers

Next time I would add more facts because there are lots of facts  I have not covered because there was not enough room.

Please leave a comment on my blog post saying what you liked about it and if you have learnt any facts.

De bono thinking

 🍬🍭🍬 Hey everyone this is a special post👑These are my De Bono thinking hats. My thinking hats are about how I feel in my new classroom also known as an I.L.E. I love my new classroom and everything in it I share a large classroom with 75 other people our giant classroom has 4 classrooms in  it , my classroom is the biggest.🍓🍓  Our I.L.E is called Te Waka Ako,  that means the canoe of learning. The four different classrooms are named after places with water the names are Hauraki, Waitemata and Manakau. We also had a opening ceremony Michael Wood the MP of Mt Roskill cut the ribbon it was all very grand🎀✂💍.


It is very challenging to hear when there are 50 other students doing something else. It was actually easier to  write the negative thinks. It was kind of sad to leave our old classroom. But all in all the hats were easy to fill in because I had mixed feelings Here is a link so you can learn more about hats. Here is the link and some photos.

Fatu Feu'u inspried art work

This is my artwork. In this work we put all our symbols in and wrote the meanings and reasons for them. Hope you enjoy my work feel free to comment below. I really like the colour balance throughout my work. The process of the work was long, First we had to rule our lines and we had to have a very exact measurement. Then we drew out the patterns we planned in our book. After that we painted over we had to do a few coats to make it look very strong. I really love my work.
My Painting inspired by Fatu Feu’u.

Anzac experience

For writing we had to write what we did on Anzac day. I forgot what I did on Anzac day so I wrote about what I did the Tuesday before that. In this piece of writing I wrote about a girls camp that I went to. I thought it was really fun. Please comment down below what you thought about my work.

Girls camp

“Wake up Mum!”

Today was the day, not just Anzac day but the day I leave for to go to my first ever girls camp. The girls camp is in Ararimu.

My mum helped me load my luggage into my sister's car. As soon as I got there I got on to the bus.

On the bus I sat alone behind my two friends Tessa and Kaleigh. On the opposite side of my seat sat some older girls that were having a funny conversation about ASMR and I couldn’t help but tune in.

When we got to the camp the leaders finally revealed our theme and our theme was Amtrak which is a train company. But before we boarded our train we had a customs table and it was hilarious, the leaders purposely put things that aren’t allowed in camp in some people’s bags and it was hilarious what was found.

When we found what cabins we are in (Because the theme is train our cabins were called carriages.) the first thing we did was unpack and meet our hut 'Bosons' and leaders. Then we started our adventure.

In L.A it is famous for lots of things and one of them is Disneyland. For the first half of the afternoon we did fun Disney quizzes and for the other half we had rotations. We did the rotations in our carriages.

The first activity we went to was a bungee game. What you do is there is a big harness and ropes holding you back but you have to go as far as you can with the ropes pulling you back. It was funny because so people slid back on the floor.

The next activity was one of the best we played it against another team. For this game there is two ropes and two boats each team has to pick one or two people to get in the boat. The other people had to split and stand on either side of the pool and pull the rope so the boat can move the aim of the game is to knock the other team off their boat. Our team won!!

After a bunch more activities we finally had dinner and supper then went to sleep in our cabins.
