last week at tech we did cooking and we made sweet corn fritters. thay were kind of like making pancakes because we had to flip them the same as pancakes. Thay took us a long time to make them but it was worth it. we started off making the batter, we needed eggs, salt, sugar, and flower
I found this activity interesting because I got told learnt how to make sweet corn fritters at home
Wednesday we celebrated Duffy’s 30th Birth Day Party. at the Party we had some specil guests from Duffy co, Mainfreight, and ma a kalani.
our guests told us about what books thay read when thay were younger like Mr Smith (Mainfreigth guest)was telling us about when he was young how he used to read Donald duck comic books and from reading not only did it make his brain smarter but also his voice impression of Donald duck which we found cool.

Our guided reading text was ‘poros of malia’. We worked collaboratively as a group to unpack the text and answer questions using evidence from the text to support our thinking. All our responses were written in the comments tool.
Something I found interesting about this text was how he was anxious because he was the champion and if he lost he would get whipped in front of everyone and people will laugh at his statue.
LI: to explore the language features of a persuasive text.
This term we have been learning about persuasive writing to help us get ready for the school speech competition later in this term. Persuasive writing is used when you want to make others think like you. Yesterday we were looking closely at the language features used in a persuasive text. I have chosen to share the persuasive language feature of emotive language.
LI: To use our smart searching skills to help us explore the Ancient Olympic games
Our challenge was to work in our groups to carry out a mini collaborative inquiry into the ancient olympic games. We used our smart searching skills to help us answer the questions. Our group worked Something I found interesting was getting to know about the cool and weird facts about like that had to be nude in the Olympics.
Today we used the ‘2 words 2 minute’ challenge to write a description about the ancient olympics. After talking in pairs about the things we knew about the ancient olympics we created a list of words (vocabulary) that would help us write our description. We chose the words ‘Greece’ and ‘athletes’ to help us think about what we were going to write.
We talked about ideas with a partner, then we had 2 minutes to put those ideas into sentences. After the time was up we had 2 minutes to reread what we had written and make changes if anything didn’t make sense or if we had words and punctuation in the wrong place. When we finished checking we had 2 more minutes to carry on writing our descriptions.
This activity was interesting because I it wasn’t about the handwriting its about how many words you can get down in 2 minutes.
