Quick Writes Term 4

we have been working on ‘Quick Writes.’  This is where you are given something to write about (a writing prompt) and you only have 10mins to write as much as possible using this writing prompt.For our writing prompts we will use either images or short videos.

1) Fireworks

As I walked into this place I smelt the smell of smoke from the fire.  I  heard the bang, bang, pew, pew of the fireworks. It was beautiful like a daffodil opening on a clear spring day. I felt the warmth comforting me. It was the coolest thing anyone could experience in a lifetime.

2) Spiderman

As  I walked down the road I heard the people shouting out, "Its him, its him!" I could smell the food stands then a UFO comes and squishes him flat  the crowd did not care.

3) Tomato Pulp

Tomato Fight

People in Europe like throwing tomatoes at people. You can smell  the rich hauna [ smell ]  of tomatoes. You can hear the squelch of the tomatoes. You can feel the slimy tomato pulp all over you.

4) A Stormy Day

Bang, crash, bang, crash the whaitiri [thunder] is banging. The lightning is flashing. Then the wind howls down on the little house and it shakes. Next the lightning strikes a tree and I watch it from my little bedroom as it burns down to ash on the forest floor.  Then it smokes for a while, embers glowing like little fireflies lighting the way to paradise.

Quick Write Number One - The Beekeeper

For the next two weeks we are going to work on ‘Quick Writes.’  This is where you are given something to write about (a writing prompt) and you only have 10mins to write as much as possible using this writing prompt.

For our writing prompts we will use either images or short videos.

The purpose of this is to practise writing fluently.

When we look at our writing prompt we will have about 10-15 mins to discuss it and brainstorm some ideas and vocabulary.   

Our learning goals are to:

-write a description, using powerful words and phrases

-include some Te Reo Māori

-carefully check that our sentences make sense and have correct punctuation and spelling.

When we are writing we need to think about…

1. What do I want my reader to see?

2) What do I want my reader to hear?

3) What do I want my reader to smell?

Tips:

-look closely at the picture or video

-think about the three key questions and the learning goals

-give yourself time to plan and write

I   love bees do you?  I love the honey they make. Do you  know how the beekeeper gets  the honi aka (honey)? Well I will tell you.

Step 1 the beekeeper goes to the hive with the bees in and smokes them to make them sleepy so he won't get stung.

Step 2 he pulls out the frame which still has some bees on but they are asleep so they won’t sting.

Step 3 scrape the honey off into a container then the bees wake up just in time for the end of the process.    click here for some honey good facts

Persuasive writing-Why is it a good idea to have pets

We have been doing persuasive writing about why we should have pets. Here is my persuasive writing about pets.

Title A Short Statement about the topic. eg. ‘Rugby League Is A Great Sport’	Pets
Overview/ Statement of position A brief statement of your view about the topic.  What you believe or want to argue.	I strongly believe we should have pets.
Series of Arguments Reasons Your points supporting your view about the topic.  Your arguments to support your statement and information to support these arguments. Remember -argument -supporting detail, reasons, examples	Firstly ,  it is a great idea to have pets!!!.  They give many people comfort  like they can give you cuddles and you can pat them.  They are funny like my dog eats teabags.
	Secondly, they are very fun to play with when you are bored. For example , you can  play ball  or  run  together.   Other things you can do with your pets are playing jumping barrels or going to the dog park.
	Thirdly,  some dogs are specially trained for people with disabilities . Also they can sniff out when  you are going to have an epileptic fit. If you are blind they can help you know where to go.
	Finally, pets are good to have because they can give you food like pet chickens give you eggs and goats and cows give you milk.
Concluding statement Summing it up.  A summary of your arguments and your view on the topic.	I strongly think having pets is a good idea because they give many people comfort,  they are very fun to play with when you are bored,  some dogs are specially trained for people with disabilities and pets are good to have because they can give you food. I strongly believe we should have pets!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Persuasive Writing Why We Should Fix Our Field

We have been having a go at writing a piece of persuasive writing 
Here is my piece of my writing about why we should fix our field.

Title A Short Statement about the topic. eg. ‘Rugby League Is A Great Sport’	FIX OUR FIELD NOW NOW NOW NOW NOW!!!!!
Overview/ Statement of position A brief statement of your view about the topic.  What you believe or want to argue.	I strongly think we really need to fix our field NOW NOW NOW !!!!!!!!!!!!
Series of Arguments Reasons Your points supporting your view about the topic.  Your arguments to support your statement and information to support these arguments. Remember -argument -supporting detail, reasons, examples	I think that we should fix our field because we need to keep fit,train for cross country, rippa rugby, soccer,and much more. So please  fix  our field.
	Secondly, we might not have the gala because we won’t  have   space for the bouncy castle etc. + We need drainage so we can have the delicious hangi but if it is boggy all the time we won’t be able to have these lovely things and we won’t be able to get enough money for the school to upgrade.
	Thirdly, we don’t have enough space to play and have fun. Only being able to use the concrete is a hazard for injuries and also we are crowded into the little space that we have.
	Lastly some of the equipment in the PE shed can’t be used. We have expensive sports gear that isn’t being used and that's a waste of money.
Concluding statement Summing it up.  A summary of your arguments and your view on the topic.	In conclusion we need to  fix our field now  because we need it for the  gala, training for sport  and for space to play.  For these reasons we need to fix our field.
