My Informational Report!!!

For the last five weeks in Te Ngahere we have been learning to write informational reports ( WALT: Write an informational report).  Our first report was about a country and my country was Zimbabwe. When we were writing our report each of our paragraphs had to have a different topic. I chose three subtopics and they were my countries national animal, their languages and lastly their climate.

Here is my report!!!

Common And Proper Nouns

Last week in Te Ngahere we were learning what the difference is between a Common and a Proper noun, so we could know when to use them in our informational report. We then had to make a google drawing, on one side we had to put Common nouns and on the other we put Proper nouns. We were allowed buddies so Cheyenne and I paired up.WALT know how to use common and Proper nouns in our writing.

Math Goals

Last week, in Te Ngahere we had to choose three maths goals from the math IKAN sheet. that we needed to learn,  ( WALT: Identify what we have achieved in maths and our next learning steps. ) We had to add these to our term 3 learning goals, we then made our goals red and if our goals were checked and if they were green we got to create a google drawing. On this google drawing we put our chosen math goals, for my maths goals I had to add an equation for subtraction, division and multiplication. Finally we got to decorate our google drawing however we would like, ( it had to have school related things though).

Here are my maths goals.

Koru And Kowhaiwhai

Last term Te Ngahere and Te Maunga created Koru and Kowhaiwhai patterns. We were learning to draw Koru and Kowhaiwhai patterns. We started on paper and used crayon to make a Koru pattern. After you had drew a Koru pattern with crayon, you got to get a piece of paper and with a pencil on your paper you had to draw Koru and Kowhaiwhai patterns. After that you got a smaller paper and you had to lightly draw your family Koru and Kowhaiwhai version. After this you showed the teacher and she would allow you to paint it, we waited overnight for the paint to dry then outlined it all with vivad. Here is my art!!!

Student Led Conferences

On Wednesday Te Ngahere ( my class, ) had SLC (  Student Led Conferences. )  We had to create a google drawing and link evidence to our reading, writing, maths, inquiry and art. We linked these so that we could show our parents what we have been doing and learning. I  liked this because us ( the students ) actually got to present our learning to our parents. I am pretty sure my mum enjoyed this aswell because we got to talk to each other about my learning.

Here is the drawing I presented to my mum.
