Maori weather with scratch!!

 

on Fridays we do Maori weather and we had to find the Maori words for the weather. I liked this task because it was fun. To watch mine you have to click the space then click the a key then click 1 then click 2 and it should work! We had to use scratch to enter 2 or 3 weathers in Maori and create them. you should hear them talking about hot and cold! Have you used scratch before? Do you know a weather in Maori?

Mahmoud entered a scary zone..

 For literacy we have been reading Refugee by Alan Gratz.   We looked at the main character, and picked 3 words to describe them.  I picked Mahmoud.

For our create task, we had to use Storyboard that, and pick one of our describing words to storyboard.  We needed to think about what happened just before that scene, and just after and how we could show emotion in our characters face.

I decided to pick scared.   I showed this through when Mahmoud was walking through the alleyway and saw 2 men fighting, him and his brother hid behind a car scared. His heart was racing but he stayed brave and the men stopped fighting.

Anzac Cove landing by the ANZACS

 

In literacy at the moment we are learning about WW1 and in particular, the role the ANZACS played in it.

We know that the ANZACS landed at ANZAC cove on April 25th, 1915.  They arrived by boat, and were greeted by a beach that was in chaos, steep, rugged cliffs and the Turks firing at them from the top of the cliffs.

Many men lost their lives that day, many never made it to the beach.  The ones that did were about to start a long journey filled with tears, despair and sadness. I'm not finished this yet and I did it with Neiva.

This animation is to show the landing at ANZAC Cove.

Do you know much about the ANZACS or their landing?

Maori Weather.

For our AKO we had to make a poster of what the weather in Maori. I found this task fun because I got to see what the weather is translated to Maori. This was and easy task. Did you know any of these weathers in Maori? Which ones did you know?

Maori and British. What happened?

for inquiry we had to make a Voki about a side we would pick from Maori or British, I picked the Maori side and we had to make them talk as if they were in the moment right then and right there. We also had to write something where we stated the years and wrote about what happened in that year. I found this task fun because I have lots of Maori ancestors and I picked the Maori side, we also had to find about what happened during the time of the war when war was going on. Do you have Maori ancestors? Which side would you pick, British or Maori? 

 

What would you do in a situation like this?

 

We read a little comic about a girl who had a lazy eye and her friend was taken away by these other two girls that didn't wanna hang out with the lazy eye girl. We had to draw the next part of the comic and i drew the friend going back and telling her to "Come on!" so she could join in. I think this was really fun because I like to draw and i got to put part of what i think would happen next. What would you do if your friend was being left out? What would you do if you were left out as well??
