LI: To write and tell the story of our background.
Our task today was to write our pepeha. My pepeha tells what iwi I come from, when my ancestors came to New Zealand, Who are my grandparents and where I grew up. It also says that I acknowledge the indigenous people of this area and I acknowledge the important landmarks of this area.
I really enjoyed finding out the history of my whanau.
I read 13 pages of Tom Gates by Liz Pichon.
I read when Tom is a naughty person in the class and has 3 sad faces on his achievement chart. The achievement chart is what you have been good or bad in class. Tom was the most naughtiest in his class.
I enjoyed this activity becuase I read Tom Gates. I need to improve on reading more slower. I did well at the find words.

Commenting is a conversation about learning in the blog. There are many steps to make a decent comment. Those are greetings, Positive comments, Helpful comments, Thoughtful comments, making connections, adding more information and asking questions.
The greeting is to start that comment.
The positive comment is to say something nice about that blog.
The helpful comment is what to improve on the blog.
The thoughtful comment is to say another nice thing about the comment.
To make a connection is to see if the blogger and the reader did the same thing.
Adding more information is just adding more on what to improve on.
The ask a question is just to ask the question to the blogger.
Commenting can improve writing.
I wrote a time where I included someone in my group.
First I got an understanding of what is inclusive. Inclusive is when someone adds someone to their group, party and chat.
Next I learnt what the benefits of including someone is. The benefits are that it could help someone boost their confidence, they could make friends, and they could learn more things about them
Then I wrote down what I did to include someone in my group. I included someone in my group by giving the person a turn and letting him shoot the ball in the hoop.
Lastly I thought of something that I said to include someone into our group. I said, “hi what’s your name? would you like to play with us?”
I enjoyed this activity because I wrote a time where I included someone to my group. I did well at finding out a time when I included someone in a group. I need to improve on including more people in groups.
Informal is talking more casually. We should only talk informally to our friends, Family and people we know really well. Formal is talking more politely to people. We should talk formally to people that are important for example. The prime minister, A Boss.
The things that are different about them is that formal talking is that they say words very differently. For example formal talk uses words like develop instead of make machinery instead of machine. These words are from Tractors. Informal words use words like better instead of stronger and make instead of produce. These words are from Tysgaru Shamisen.
Informal is talking more casually. Formal is talking more politely to people.
Pros are advantages that diferent objects have. Cons are disadvantages that diferent objects have for example. if I was playing on a park the pro is that it’s fun to play on but the cons are somtimes people get hurt.
A galley is made by egyhption that are powered by people using paddles to row. A cruise ship is a modern ship powered by gasoline that uselly have pools, waterparks and warterslides. A pro for the galley is that it can hold 200 to 350 tons but the con is that its really slow becuase the people get tired fast. A pro about the cruise ship is that is has so much fun things to do but the cons are that they cost too much money.
Ms White has challenged us. If we had 10,000 dollars would we rather spend 8000 dollars on a criuse ship to go from USA to Mexico and have 2000 left to spend in Mexico or would we rather spend 500 dollars on a galley to go from USA to Mexico and spend 9500 dollars in Mexico. I would rather pick the galley because I get to spend more money in Mexico than spend 2o00 dollars in Mexico.
Opinions are what someone thinks or what someone’s idea is. For example, The world is flat because the ground is flat so the world is flat. For example, if the world was round and I wanted to walk to New Zealand I would be upside down. The structure of opinion is APE: assertion, proof and example/explain.
Assertion is to tell an opinion.
Proof is the evidence to an opinion.
Example/Explain is explain the evidence or give an example to write a proof.
Opinions are what someone thinks or what someone’s idea is.
