Wearable Arts
This year we created headbands, pois and a class piuiu (Maori skirt) for our Wearable Arts. We combined Maori and Pacific cultures to send a message about "How Far Will You Go.... to save the oceans from plastic." We used a Maori Version of the song from Moana

Describing a Setting/Character
This term I have been learning to describe a setting/character:
Success Criteria:
use describing words
use language features e.g. similes and alliteration,
use my senses (see, hear, feel,)
hook the reader into feeling what the setting/character was like
The sun is as bright as a chandelier and the grass as green as emeralds. The waterfall splashes down a small hill that looks like a stone staircase. The trees are waving in the wind like a bunch of people saying 'hi.' The snowy moutnains are as big as giants and the clouds as puffy as cotton-tail bunnies.
The wolf was not the meanest wolf of all but he had a clever brain. He sneaks as quiet as a ninja. His teeth and claws are as sharp as spikes and his eyes are as red as lava. Waiting in the forest for his dessert! He's as fast as humming birds and not a normal kind of wolf and tricks people to their death. Who dares to follow him?
Reflection: I wrote about 5 similes. I used some good describing words like snowy, bright.
It was hard for me to think about what I was writing about. Zion 14.08.18

Reading For Information
This term I have been learning to read for information, to summarise some main ideas and to use 'Poster My Wall' to present my facts.
Reflection: It was hard to find the answers to some of my questions. Next time I might make my questions a little easer so I could find information. Zion 27.08.18
