Writing workshop

Writing Workshop

Today, just like any Tuesday, I had a writing workshop.  Whenever I go to a writing workshop I alway think I will learn something,but I never do.  When I leave a writing workshop I think that I will learn something next time, but I never do.  Today we were learning about using different sentence structures for effect. By looking at other peoples faces,I could tell some of them knew that it is putting in commas and finding things that make the sentence a compound sentence. It is also finding a way to make a long sentence to a simple sentence that makes sense,we learned that  some sentences can only be made to a shorter sentence that make sense if you  use  different places in the sentence put together. 

The teacher explained what it was and gave as a worksheet.  The worksheet was titled, 'Your turn'.  I could tell that we were going to find the commas and that stuff by ourselves on this worksheet.  Before the teacher said go I started to work as fast as I could.  I was done before so many people because I didn't listen to the teachers talk about each question.  Again,I left the writing workshop thinking I will learn something next time, so I have just got to wait and see.  

Even though I always know what to do every single time that I come down,it is sort of fun. Bye, thanks for reading my blog.

Math Number

Math number 

On Wednesday and Thursday,I have Number.  In Moana Learning Hub,we do 2 types of math. One is called Number and the other is Strand.  Today I will be telling you about what I do in number.

 In number you do things like times tables and division but in strand you do thing like telling the time,using calendars and patterns.  Today I finished my reading workshop and got out my math book.  The teacher had a slide up of something we did a couple of weeks ago.  'Koka Rosie,we have already done this in Koka Pips workshop.' We said.  She found something different for us to do and it was one of my favourite skills. Division.  There we 8 questions on the board and I started to answer immediately.  The hardest question on the board was 48 divided by 8 =6. That was not that hard for me because I knew the 6 times 8 =48 so that is how I got my anwer.

I finished all the questions in no time and soon enough we were finding out the answers.  I all along threw the workshop knew my times tables so all along knew my division.  Every question on my paper had a tick on it.  Even though I was not surprised I got them all right I was still pretty proud of myself.  

That is what we do in number workshops,thanks for reading.

Action Day

Action Day

It was the 2nd of June when I was late to action day which I was not pleased about.  When I arrived at school for action day, everyone was doing different  stuff. I had no idea what to do because just as I said I was late. I did not think I would miss out on so much action but the people at the beach arrived and I said 'I was late' I joined the beach group and counted the rubbish that the group I chose to join had collected. They got so much rubbish!!!  When we got in from morning tea the teacher said most of us left there mess and disqualified some teams from the competition. Oh did I forget to tell you it was a competition. It was, and the winner got a japanese prize.  I could not win the prize if my team won because I did not collect the rubbish, but I had hoped that the rest of my team would win it instead. 

We started to cleanup our messes. When we were finished ,we went outside to play games and have a game of touch rugby.  A few girls and I played some tag ,our own game of touch rugby and then until lunch we talked about what type of school we want to go to after Wainui Beach. At lunch I had hockey practice. It was good because it seemed so fast.

After lunch we listened to our shared book. After a few chapters of shared book the teacher explained about take 3 for the sea posters that we would do.  We were let off to get started and my one looks amazing. (It only has a background.)
