Hoshino Visit

On Thursday 23rd August visitors from the Japanese school Hoshino Gakuen Came to our school. This gave us a chance to learn about the Japanese culture as well as teaching them about the Kiwi culture. I really enjoyed doing the activities they set up for us such as... paper sumo, origami and spinning tops. I had a buddy named Yusuke. Yusuke and I had a fun time and we got to know each other. I look forward to learning more about foreign cultures.

I think I wrote a good African Praise poem because I had descriptive and detailed words, I also made sure the poem relates to me and makes sense.

In this activity I was comparing Elm Park School and Lark Creek Elementary using a Venn diagram.

I found this activity easy because I new the differences and similarities. I think I did well on this activity because I have heaps of ideas.

Reading

WALT understand the purpose of characters in the text.
We found similarities and differences between ourselves and Jesse. This helps us understand the story more because...
If we are similar
- We know why the character is doing that.
- We can relate to the character.
- We understand the characters feelings because we have felt them before.

Making a Predcition

Feelings Poem

My Reflection
In this activity we were learning to write a poem about a feeling, with our 5 senses.
I found this activity challenging because I got stuck at times.
 It was tricky to find things related to my senses and feeling, that are descriptive.
One thing I could do differently is putting my ideas down first and then make them interesting.
My next step is to get more confident writing poems.

Writing a Description

We were learning to add detail by using our senses. 

Can you find were I've used sight, smell, taste, touch and sound to describe?

Implicit and Explicit Information

We were learning to identify implicit and explicit information because this will help us with making inferences.
I found this learning fun and exciting.
Using explicit clues helped me with being successful in this activity.
My next step is to move on to harder inference activities.
