Moment In Time Week7

Today our teacher asked us to write a ‘Moment In Time’ piece using a picture of a boy in the water.  We planned as a class to make sure we had the 5 W’s and the 6 Senses.  

Before we began our writing in small groups we discussed the importance of using descriptive writing, using similes and metaphors where appropriate, using dialogue and have done our best to make sure our punctuation is correct.  Some of us have even used ‘Show Don’t Tell’ in our writing to provide our reader with more of an experience.

Our teacher gave us 10 minutes for each paragraph and then 10 minutes for editing at the end.  We had so much fun working together!

If you have a moment, we would love you to comment on our writing.  

Boy Overboard!

Jack was water skiing when he saw a group of sharks swimming towards him.  Jack was so frightened that he let go of the rope and fell on his back slap Jack started to drown.  The closer the sharks got to Jack the more frightened Jack became.  He could taste the sea water dripping from his mouth. “HELP! HELP!”

Jack saw the sharks swimming closer and closer “HELP! HELP! SOMEBODY HELP!” Jack screamed.  The sharks finally surrounded Jack when he felt like his heart was going to jump out of his chest. One of the sharks lunged forward and tried to bite Jack but he was too fast for the shark and he just dodged in time.  Then the next shark then the next and so on.

The final shark managed to bite Jacks leg “AHHH” screamed Jack as the blood was oozing out of his leg like a tree with tree sap sliding down the tree trunk.  But Jack didn’t only scream because of the blood he also screamed because the sea salt got sucked into his leg like a vacuum.  It was only Jack and the sharks alone in the salty sea water.  Jack knew this was the end but was it?….

What I did well was putting interesting words    

Javahn:

What I did well was sharing my idea and sharing my knowledgeknowledge.  

Philip:

I think I put in some descriptive words to make it interesting for the reader.

Tesselations

Tessellations

Purpose: Thank you note

Dear Jax

Thank you for coming to Rangikura school and sharing your opera.

The thing that I found cool was how interested Nemo was to the elixir of love, but I think it was because he had the best chance of this girl falling in love with him.  I also liked all the actors voices they were so loud and proud, so smooth actually so smooth that I couldn’t even here a single drop.  I really liked the show especially Nemo and Docs handshake because they just met then they both had the same idea of a handshake.  The funniest part for me was how Nemo only had 50 cents.

Here is a photo of my favourite moment during school.

Yours sincerely

Weaving a box

1. Get all your gear to start.

2. Measure ten 30 cm long and 1cm wide strips of paper.

3. Cut the strips of paper out.

     4.   Place 5 of the strips on the mat.[make them about 2cm wide from each other].

    

     5.    Take hold of one strip and go over under over under and keep going until it comes out the  

             End.

     

      6.    Carry on with step five using the other 4 strips .   

              

      

     7.      Use a ruler to make the side of the box stick up.

      

     8.      Sellotape the sides sticking up so they don’t fall apart.

     

    9.     If the strips don’t stick up fold them over the base.

    

    10.    Cut out 4 more strips [about 24 cm long and 1cm wide.

     11.    With the same strip weave it through 4 sides [keep it tight].

     12.    Take one strip and fold it into four quarters.

     13.    Sellotape each corner to keep the strip in place.

      14.    Repeat step 12 and 13 with the three remaining strips.

       15.    For a finishing touch tape down any strips sticking up.

        16.   Enjoy your hand made box.
