Hi readers,

This is today's create task and this is the WALT: Summarise and analyse ideas and information from different text.

We had to look into 2 videos and read 2 other texts. Then we had to write down what happened into a google doc in 4 individual boxes. once we had finished that we could chose 2 out of 4 things

Matariki is a family of stars. Symbolises the moari new year. The mother of the 7 sisters is Ranginui and the father is papa tu Enuku.

#2:

Matariki is the eldest of the 7 sisters. The matariki is when the crops' food starts to grow or the fishermen catch many fishes. Matariki guides her sisters.

This website is teaching us that matariki is not a constellation, it is a cluster. Matariki is one of the star clusters nearest to Earth. Matariki is close to Earth ,but it’s still 440 light years away.

Reading 9/6/2021

This weeks WALT is synthesis ideas and information in a narrative text. The topic of this week is fairy tales/fable. Our writing is about fairy tales too.

My main story/book choice is about Goldilocks but there is a twist, baby bear is not a bear he is a lamb and why is lil bo peep here? wait that is not lil bo peep that is the big bad WOLF hey Goldilocks is here she says go away wolf the wolf thinking about going to the red hens story!!

My challenge text is kinda like the original little red riding hood. Red riding hood’s mother said go and get some raspberries. She went and found some. on her way back, she came across wolf and said give me some berries. Red riding hood paused so the wolf started to chase lil red, lil red ran up a tree. The wolf said i am just very hungry, the wolf’s tummy growled so lil red shared her berries.

And last but certainly not least my complimentary Girl gets lost and come across a small house there is a big bowl a medium bowl and a small bowl the first two were either to hot or cold but the small one was just right so she ate it all up. Next she found 3 chairs she went to sit in the first two the both were not right, the smallest chair was just right but when she started to get comfy it collapsed and broke. So she found 3 beds the two were not feeling right she then fell fast asleep on the 3rd bed the 3 bears came back home and found Goldilocks asleep!

Reading create task 28/5/21 Term 2

Hi Readers, this weeks WALT is: Use prior knowledge when making text to text connections.

My book choice is called the hungry wave it is about a big tsunami hitting a village, the main characters are Ana and Sina (which is the mum) and their brothers Mika and Niko the problem is a tsunami came to their village the solution is that they ran to a higher level of ground.

My Complementary text is about tsunami here is what i learnt, do you know that tsunamis can be 30 m tall? Do you know that tsunamis are caused by earthquakes, landslide volcano eruptions and meteorite’s? Tsunamis can travel 500 miles per hour. When the waves reach land it starts to get deeper and deeper leading into destruction.

My challenge text is all about A girl who makes a tornado. She uses two bottles and adds water and flips it. While it drains really quickly it starts increasing the speed making the water spin and wallah a tornado, but underwater.
