Cicadas

 For our writing we went on an environmental walk to look for evidence of life.  Our evidence of life was a cicada case, which some of the class found on tree trunks around our school.  We had to use our powers of observation to describe what we could see, hear, smell, taste and feel.  Here is my work.

Cicadas

The cicada has long crusty legs. The cicada has big sharp claws. The cicada smells like trees and leaves. It feels crunchy and fragile so it could be easily broken. It has big dry wings.  The maile makes the loudest noise.

   

Kawa of Care

 

Mrs Gardiner is in charge of computers at our school and she came to class to talk about the Kawa of care

rules we have to follow when working on our Chromebooks. We had to make something to prove we have

read the rules and understand and agree to them. Here is my document:

This week we were excited to be learning a bit about The Rehutai, the Team New Zealand AC 75 that has been sailing in the Waitemata Harbour.  Here is my information.

America's cup is the oldest sporting cup in the world. The AC75 flies on foils. It is 5.4m wide and 22.8 metres (75 feet) long.  It has no keel. 

It has 11 crew and the skipper is Peter Burling.

The New Zealand boat won the America’s Cup on Wednesday.

Writing from an image

We are learning how to write to describe things well. The teachers gave us a picture of an old man and asked us to write to tell us what he looks like. They hoped we would use lots of adjectives, adverbs, nouns about parts of his face and maybe some similes or metaphors. Here is my work.
