In room 4 we have been making  poster to help the animal we chose to  get off the worlds ulgiest animal list.`

Discussion

I have been learning about writing a discussion.

I have included:- a title, connectives, a conclusion that recommends one view over the other.

Should classes be allowed to have pets?

Many people question if classes who have pets, asking if they are healthy or if they interfere with learning.

I am going discuss points for and against having a class pet.

Primarily, class pets teach children to be responsible because they need to have the right amount of food and care to keep them healthy.

Furthermore, class pets teach children to behave gently toward animals because children learn to treat animals the way you want to be treat with care and respect.  

However, many people believe that class pets are unhealthy and believe that pets in classes distract children from learning because pets are noisy  and messy and this distracts children.

In conclusion, I strongly believe that classes should have pets because  they teach children to responsible, care for animals and show respect for animals.

IALA recounts

I have worked hard to add detail to my ideas.

There before me lay a huge playground with a slide and a  bridge. The playground was a rectangle shape. The playground had monkey bars.

The buildings were big with lots of windows in all the buildings. There was an office. There was a rainbow of colours in all the buildings. There were big buildings and little buildings.

Korowai

Here I am wearing the korowai cloak. The things I like about the cloak and have written on the cloak feathers are thoughtful and pono (be true, valid, honest, genuine, sincere).

The Hungry Squirrel

The Hungry Squirrel

Early one morning near the edge of the forest, a small squirrel was gathering nuts while a  

hawk was circling in the sky.

The squirrel sensed something was wrong. He looked up with his big round eyes and saw the hawk who was soaring high above him with with his large claws and pointed beak.

The hawk swooped down after the terrified squirrel, the squirrel ran as fast as he could into the thick and prickly bush to hide.

The hawk dived at the bush but got prickles in his short feathers, he gave up and flew away.

The squirrel finished gathering his nuts and went back to his family in the fir tree.

Responding to feedback

It was Sunday the day we were all going to Cameron's Market. It took thirty minutes  or more to get to Cameron's market day but it was worth it. I thought this was going to be the perfect day.

While we were at Cameron's market I will looked for a school bag and a skipping rope with a flower pattern on it.

There were a lot of people especially artists and people with skills. As I walked around the market I heard lots of different noises. There was a lot of talking and laughing. My heart was beating fast. The market made me feel good.

I found some things I liked. I got some new toys, one bag with a flower pattern on it and one skipping rope. I heard lots of people. While I was getting my new things I could smell the sausage sizzle. This made be I feel happy.

The Perfect Day

I am learning to make my writing more interesting for the reader.

I know I will be able to do this when I add more detail, interesting words and include what I see, hear, smell and feel.

Taonga

We have been learning to make connections to the people and places that are important to us.

My Taonga it is a rock.

I have chosen my Taonga because it reminds me of mother.

The place I connect to is  Punakaiki because mum found  it on the  path  for  me.   

I have been able to make connections to  my  mum because we have both connected     

to Punakaiki.
