Dear Kape/ Mr.Murray.  ← Greeting                      

Thank you for being  great supervisors while our class (Te Kauru) were enjoying planting the recently cut down trees. Because you were there we could actually go on our trip. For me that’s how you really helped our class. My favourite part was seeing a lot of the people in my class have lots of fun                         ↑

Dear Kape/ Mr.Murray.                    

Thank you for being a great supervisor while our class (Te Kauru) were enjoying planting at Lake Ngatu at the site of where the big trees were recently cut down . Because you were there we could actually help plant the tree seedlings. For me that’s how you really helped our class. My favourite part was seeing a lot of the people in my class have lots of fun.

Fact.

I know it’s a text about facts because it talks about things that are happening at the time and not what's happening in the future/the potential of something happening.

How can you find information in this text? 

By reading it over and over again.

Could this text solve a real life problem?

I think yes because it can tell a lot of people what climate change is doing to our world .

StoryBoard.

 

WALT: we are learning to make a storyboard for our class movie.

I enjoyed making this storyboard and coloring it in once I was finished. My idea for our movie was that you were watchinh a movie during the Covid-19 lockdown and you hear a loud knocking at the door.

Ghostball With Mr. Masters

 WALT: We are learning to work as a team.

I enjoyed playing ghost ball with one of my favourite teachers Mr.Masters

Have you ever played played ghost ball?

Mystery Box or $50

A Mystery box or $50! How do I choose, I’m thinking about going for the mystery box but in it there might just be one little chocolate bar but if I take the 50 dollars I can purchase all the chocolate I want. My mind is struggling to choose one of the items so it puts its thinking cap on and starts to think properly,after a long time of thinking my mind finally decides to take the mystery box. Instead of ripping it open I slowly open it from the top as I’m shaking with fear, my mind is thinking about what might be in it, he thinks there might just be a Banana peel or it might be something really good like 100 dollars. Inside the box wasn’t anything good but nothing bad either, there was another box so this time instead of slowly opening it I ripped it up just to find another box, my mind thought “this could go on forever!” But this time in the box there was a ball, I’m quite disappointed that I got a ball. So I shake the ball to hear another ball inside it bouncing around I find a sharp item that can pop the ball like a nail or pencil, once I’ve popped the ball it turns out the thing bouncing inside was another box so I shake this so hard that $200 comes flying out and lands right on my dogs small fluffy head.I soon remember that I have never had a dog until now I’m so happy that I chose the mystery box now!

Trees getting cut down at Lake Ngatu
