Paired Writing

In room 12 we've been doing paired writing. Mrs Parkinson paired us up with someone. My buddy was Arzoo and I was her tutor. I've improved by thinking fast what my story is going to be about and putting full stops and commas in my writing. I think Arzoo is much more confident with her writing now than at the start of paired writing and her spelling has improved. The things that challenge me was sometimes I didn't know what was the best word for the story that she was writing about.  

My Enviro Poster

Maori Language Week

For Maori language week we learned the Maori body song which is this :

Mahunga, pakihiwi, poku, hope, wae wae

Mahunga, pakihiwi, poku, hope, wae wae

Mahunga, pakihiwi, poku, hope, wae wae

Taringa, karu, ihu, waha e
We had to teach it to Room 5 and we also had to teach them what it means in english

Mahunga means head, pakihiwi means shoulder, puko means tummy, hope means hips, wae wae means legs, taringa means ear, karu means eyes, ihu means nose and last of all waha e means mouth. 

My Speech

on Wednesday 6th  of June room12 presented their discovery speeches I was really nervous about my speech, my speech was about Thomas Edison. I think I did well using my clarity of voice, memorizinig my speech and having a prop. Improvements I think I have to make more informations about how he did his inventions and making more eye contact and what I learnt about Thomas Edison is that never give up easily.
