ASB Getwise

This week we had ASB getwise with Jayden in the classroom. We learnt about saving money. We learnt about cash goals. Cash goals stands for clear, a stands for action, s stands for save and the h stands for how long. We also learnt about the two w's. It stands for when and where. Jayden chose three volunteers which was Sandra, Angelica and Matthew. They each got a book. We pretended that Sandra was a year 10, Angelica was a year 6 and Matthew was a year 6. They had to flip the book and on it, it showed a picture of where there money was saved. Sandra's was under her bed, Angelica's was in a box and Matthew's was in a bank. They all flipped the book again and it showed how much they saved. Matthew saved more because his money was in a bank. They flipped the book once more and there was cars. Sandra, Angelica and Matthew got to choose whether to save the money or buy the car. Sandra and Angelica chose to save the money and Matthew bought the money. After that we did cash goals. Jayden teached a lot on how to save money. At the end we said goodbye to Jayden. We got ASB bracelets.

The Silent Red Book|Dialogue & Monologue

LI: To write a narrative with dialogue. This week for writing we had to watch a narrative with no words. The narrative was called The Silent Red Book. Once we watch it we had to write a narrative for The Silent Red Book. We could only use dialogue and monologue. We also had to use third person. To write the narrative we had to make a DLO. I decided to use a google slide. I took screenshots of The Silent Red Book and put it as a background. Then I wrote the narrative. Dialogue is a conversation between two people or more and monologue is when someone is thinking. I had a lot of fun writing a narrative about a story that had no words.

Matariki Celebration

Yesterday on Wednesday we had a Matariki celebration with the whole school. We did the Matariki celebration in the juniors. We sat on the benches. First some teachers spoke. Then there were performances. The first performance was the senior kapa haka. They did some dances and they also sang some songs. After it was the junior kapa haka. They also did some dances and songs. Once it was junior kapa haka three boys from our school and Mr. Matt did the drums. Then it was the ukulele group. There was only three girls and Whai Odie who did the ukulele. After it was the pacifica group. Three men did the drums for the pacifica group. They were really good. I think all the performances were awesome and they all were brave to show their performances to the school. They also just started last term and are very good. They practised a lot for the Matariki Celebration. Once all the performances were done the juniors had to line up on the right and the seniors had to line up on the left. We all got sausages. The vegetarians had to go to the kitchen to get sausages. I had to go to the kitchen because I am vegetarian. We had to get bread and Whai Odie put a sausage on our bread. We put some tomato sauce on our sausage. I had two sausages because it was yummy. I had a lot of fun yesterday celebrating Matariki. Whai Odie thought of doing the Matariki celebration and I think that Whai Odie is a amazing Maori teacher.
