For Manaiakalani this week we were looking at a blog about art. We got given some art to choose from and then we had to change the colour of it. I don't know the name of the original art but the first is the original and the second is mine. I know my one is not very good but I was playing around with the colours and I made my one blue and tried to make it look like someone from Avatar.

In literacy, we do sharp reading. During sharp, we train our brains to think accurately while reading. First we have to read the first paragraph in our heads and then we read the first sentence with our group. After that whoever is taking us will choose someone to unpack the sentence. Unpacking the sentence is basically explaining in our own words what we think the sentence means. After we have finished we have to do one on the deep four about the sentence. The deep four are I think this means, I know this because, I wonder why and I have a picture.
After the session of Sharp we often have to do a follow up task. This time we had to answer some questions about the piece of writing that we did our sharp on. The first one was about a man who's pet magpie died and he needed to find another one. The second one was about an old man on a quest to find a life saving object... His false teeth!

The slide below is the questions and my answers...
Since the orientation day for our school is coming up we had to write a piece of writing to put up on the wall. We have a piece that we wrote at the start of the year and one that we wrote now so that you can see the change in our writing. The topic was A Moment in Time. I did mine about jumping off a cliff - you probably guessed from the title though. We had to include the different sentence styles that we have been learning from Write that Essay. We also had to use the tools that we had been learning in Manaiakalani so our piece wasn't allowed to be black and white. I used Canva.

In manaiakalani this week, we had to create a poster explaining what media is. I found out that there are three main types of media which are Print Media, Broadcast Media and News Media. I did my poster on Canva. I found it really fun to learn about and do. Next time I would probably add more information to the text. I hope you like my poster and learn some new things about media. Please comment so that I can improve.

Last term, we had to create something that was exactly 60s long explaining how to write two different sentences. The reason why we are doing this is because we were learning how to write different sentences of Write that Essay which is an app that we use in class. Some of the sentences include the ING start sentence, the semicolon sentence, the ED start, the EM dash and more sentences. The two me and my friend Felicia decided to do are the ING start sentence and the semicolon sentence. I hope you like the video. Don't forget to comment so that I can improve.

For Manaiakalani this week we had to create something to explain what we are doing in our PR1ME books at the moment. I am on Chapter 8 Percentages. At first I found Percentages hard but then I found an easy way to do them. I hope my way helps you.
This next one is of a frog...
