LI: To understand the 5 senses can be used to strengthen a description
Our challenge was to co construct a text using the olfactory, auditory, gustatorial, visual and kinesthetic senses to describe the story behind the shoes in this image. This time we were able to speak and sat facing our partners. Once we had completed this part of the challenge we joined together with another group to share our writing and make sure what we had written made sense and had met the language feature challenge.

LI: To use the 5 senses and personification to help us paint a picture with words.To understand that personification is to give an inanimate object human qualities.
Our challenge was to co construct a text using personification and the senses to describe the story behind the shoes in this image. We sat back to back and weren’t able to talk… Half way through Mrs Anderson challenged us to include a rhetorical question and a simile or metaphor…Once we had completed this part of the challenge we joined together with another group to share our writing and make sure what we had written made sense. After that part of the challenge was finished we used the punctuation points game to… We marked eachother’s punctuation against the points table. We then had a chance to check our own work against the points table. That was fun because every point our partners missed menat we could take a point off theirs.

LI: To write a set of clear instructions that show how to make a hangi.
DO NOT LEAVE THE HANGI UNATTEND
Today we unpacked how to follow and write a set of instructions. To do this effectively your instructions need to be explicit and the steps to follow ordered. Each step begins with an instructional verb and should be written in a way that is easy to understand.
I enjoyed Procedural because we have to listen the our steps slowly.
LI: To create a comparison of the before and after experiences at camp
Before camp, we wrote down what we would achieve at camp by using the acronym TRUMP. The meaning of Trump is like thinking, Relating to Others, Using language symbols and text, Managing self, Participating. These 5 words help us to remember when to use them in every activity. When we came back from camp, we wrote down how we used the key competencies for our belongings and in the activities
I found this activity was fun because we have to remember the TRUMP to help us.
LI: To recount and explore the learning and experiences from our Year 7/8 camp
Our group wrote a poem based on our senses like auditory, tactile, visual, and kinesthetic. We used our prior knowledge of the senses and unpacked different words and ideas that described Hunua Falls. These moment in time poems represent our experience at Kokako Lodge. One of our ideas were like roaring the water, droplets bouncing, numbing embrace and experience would last. We then used word hippo to find more powerful words to strengthen our poems.
I found this activity good because its experinences the waterfall.
LI: To understand the structure and language features in an explanation
How did Goldilocks upset the bear family?
To upset someone it’s to make them disappointed, worried, or unhappy. In the fairytale Goldilocks and the three bears. She makes unwise decisions. Have you ever broken into someone’s house?
Goldilocks found a cottage and entered into private property without permission from owners. Goldilocks was disrespectful and has no self morals which is shown when she ate the bear family’s porridge. She sat on the baby chair in addition she ended up breaking the chair leaving it in pieces.
When the bears got home, they were shocked to find their porridge eaten and the baby chair was broken. Imagine how upset you would feel getting home to find someone had broken into your house!
To help us understand how to write an explanation we looked at the purpose, the structure (what it looks like) and the language features. An explanation tells us how or why something is the way it is. To help us understand this we learnt about cause and effect. Cause and effect is an action and a reaction. We used the story of Goldilocks and the 3 Bears to help us understand this. Here is our explanation that describes how Goldilocks upset the Bear family.
This activity was good because I learnt a lot about explanations and the story Goldilocks and the three Bears.
