Explanation Writing

My Reflection
I have been learning to write a simple explanation. This is my process I used to write my explanation with my buddy. First we did a brainstorm using Popplet to find information. Then we used a framework to help us draft our explanation. Lastly we published. I learnt more about stars like they stay in the right place where they normally stay. I found this peace of work tricky because it was hard to find the information and it took so long ot finish this but finally me and Husna finished this. My next is to have more interesting facts.

Matariki Presentation

My Reflection
I have been learning to find information by skimming and scanning. I used keywords to help me find information, then I summarized the information I found. The most interesting thing I learnt was when we celebrate Matariki this year. I found it challenging to quickly finish this work. I think I enjoyed most was everything.
My next step is to make my work have more describing words.

Dear Diary Post Term 2 Week 4

Dear Diary,

A few weeks ago, it was the first week of term 2, and it was a fantastic start!

All day we have been learning about matter for Inquiry. What I learned of matter is there are 5 things about matter They are solid, liquid, gas, plasma and B-E condensate.

When it was Thursday, there were fun activity's in every year 4 class, even the Auditorium.

We called it, Inquiry Launch Day. At room 15, they were doing Lava Lamps. The next nearest year 4 class is room 14. They were making gloop\ slime. Next is room 13. They were doing an egg experiment. Do you know what are they are doing with the egg? You got it right. They are trying to fit the egg on the jar. And the last room is my room, room 12. We are sorting out what kind of object goes on the Solid, Liquid and gas. When were're finish with that, we can go on a matter sort game for the restof the time when we need to swap over.

It all started when Miss Kulik was was sorting out the groups. There are 10 groups. If you were wondering what kind of group I am, I am in group 10! Ali, my friend, was in my group as always. She was in my group for bible and Terrific Tuesday!

The first activity my group did was the Lava Lamps. That was my favourite

Using a glossary index and table of contents

My Reflection

I have been learning to use a glossary, index and table of contents.  In this book I used the contents help me find the tight pages.  My next step is to use the glossary to help me find words I don't know.

What Am I Riddle

My Reflection

I have been learning to add language features to my writing to make it more interesting, Did you guess what my animal was? I found this piece of work tricky because it was hard to find some facts for my animal.

Dear Diary,

A few weeks ago, it was the first week of term 2, and it was a fantastic start!

Every afternoon, we have been learning about matter for Inquiry. What I learned about matter is there are 5 things of matter. They are liquid, solid, gas, plasma and BE condensake.

When it was Thursday, there were fun activitys in every year 4 class, even the auditorium.

We called it Inquiry Launch Day. At room 15, they were doing lava lamps. Next to room 15 was room 14. They were making gloop which is slime. Next is room 13. They were doing an egg experiment. Do you know what kind of experiment their doing with the egg? You got it right. They are trying to fit the egg onto the jar. And the last room is my room, room 12. We were doing a matter sort game and sorting out what kind of object goes to the liquid, gas and solid.

 It all started when miss Kulik was sorting out the groups in the auditorium. There were 10 groups Ali, my friend in room 15, was in my group. To tell you the truth, Ali was always in my group! She was in my group on Bible and Terrific Tuesday.

 The first activity was the lava lamps, my favourite. We sat in front of room 15 to wait for miss Massey to come out of the classroom. A few minutes later, she finally came out
