Kindness

 

LI: To edit our writing using Draft

Today we worked in pairs and created an abstract noun poem  to show what kindness means. When our poem was complete we used DRAFT to check our work and make it more powerful to read.

DRAFT means:  Delete , Rearrange, Add , Fix, Talk

In our poem we used the Five senses which are taste, smell, hear,  touch, feel and see .
We checked for correct punctuation including capital letters, full stops and commas.

An abstract noun is one that refers to an idea, quality or state that you cannot touch , see or hear.

 My partner and I enjoyed this task because it help us to get more information about kindness and help learn how to be kind.

Cinquain poem

 LI.To write a cinquain poem to describe  a sports star.

We have been learning to write cinquain poems to help us strengthen our connections to description. A cinquain poem has 5 lines. Each line has a different purpose. Line 1 is a noun which is a name. Line 2 has 2 adjectives taht describe the noun. Line 3 has 3 verbs that end in ‘ing’ and describe the actions. Line 4 is a noun phrase which is a group of words (not a sentence) that go together to describe the noun. Line 5 is a synonym which is a word with a similar meaning to the noun.

I enjoyed this activity because it was fun createing this and it helped me learn Noun, Adjectives, verbs, Noun phrace, Synonym.

5 minutes of Camp

LI: To recount a 5 minute snapshot of one experience you had at camp

Under The Waterfall

I leaned into the kayak and I almost fell over in the water. I told myself 'you got this Leitu remember always take risks and be confident...' I put one foot in the kayak and it felt like it was going to flip but I went into the kayak and it started to wiggle! 

I used the paddle to push myself off from the bank. I screamed 'Ahhhhh!' My heart was beating so fast. I told myself as I pushed my paddle right to left 'Leitu you got this woahhh!' 

I accidentally put my feet off the kayak and I fell in the water as I yelled 'HELPPP!!' and I heard my heartbeat go faster. My legs and arms were shaking in the ice cold ẃater 'Help!!' I yelled. I could hear my group yelling out to me 'You got this Leitu!! ' which gave me more confidence in myself. So I got myself into the kayak and paddled away. 

As I paddled to the rock then I get out and said to myself ‘Good job for being confident in yourself. I was so proud of myself for facing risks'.

Last week we went to camp at Kokako Lodge. My 5 minute snapshot shows my personal voice and I have tried hard to paint a picture with my words to describe what I was doing and how I felt.
