Give me five Harry Potter Series.

Give me five Harry Potter series on Biteable.

In Reading, we have been doing a book club on Mondays and we do activities. This give me five biteable is a can-do and I have been doing this for a couple of weeks. I have worked hard on this and I have added extra people from my first one. If you like it please comment and if you don't please comment on what I could do better.

Perfect Persuasive writing

This is my persuasive writing from the start of term 3. I chose this subject because of our inquiry this term which is on the power of innovation. This persuasive writing is going to help us because we are doing speeches later in the term. I think I have done really well for writing a lot of words about this subject.

Why we should fill up the Red Zones

Hello, I'm Dylan and I am going to tell you why we need to fill up the red zones. In this persuasive writing piece, I am going to tell you what we should build in the multiple red zones. Some of my ideas are a mountain bike trail, a running trail, a dog park, a bike pump track and more.

 For my first point, we need to build some things but they need to be careful how tall they are and the weight. But a reason we need to get creative to fill up spaces is that we have too many places that are empty. And if we build some things it might bring people from around the world and some of those people might make friendships.

 Onto my second point, which is why we need more attractions. If we get more attractions to come into the red zone it will get more money for the council so even more things can be built and so they can afford to make even more things. And because a lot of people moved away after the earthquakes it might bring people back to Christchurch. And if there are moving events held in the red zone parking outside of the red zone will be full people will have to walk miles.

That comes to my next point, why we need to make the roads again. If we do then it will be easier to get around to things on the other side instead of taking the long way around the outside. We could just open the roads for short times only or just make a barrier so you have to pay to get in and it will bring more money to hold multiple events.

 As for the old buildings people could do street art in a really bright picture to bring joy and happiness because of the bright colours. They could also add special effects like the 3D wall in town. If people see that it could make them really happy. They could also hold a reunion for the people who used to live in the red zones. They could also add in some small sporting grounds for rugby and soccer and other things. If they did all of this then I would be very glad.

But what we need to do to attract worldwide sporting events is a world-class sporting centre. And that would bring lots of people from around the world to come and eat in our restaurants and sleep in our hotels. All of those people would be spending what we need. Money.

Most of these things would all have to be made without heavy machinery because we can’t risk more liquefaction rising up. Do you reckon all this will work if we had the choice to do this? Do you reckon this is possible? Because I do. Would you agree with me?

Give Me Five

In Literacy, we do a book club on Monday's of every school week we can. We all picked a book from the library and I chose Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. In "give me five" we had to choose some characters from our book and I chose Harry Potter and Hermione Granger. "Give me five" is where you choose quotes that describe the characters that you have chosen. What are the characters you would choose from your favourite book?

Doctor Seuss Reading Aloud

At the start of the term in Literacy, we had to do a screencastify reading a Doctor Suess book. I chose to do 'The Cat in the Hat'. We had to read a part of the book to ourselves with as much expression as we could. My recordings aren't that long because I only read a small part of the book. I think my second one was better because I had practice with Pukeko kids in buddy reading. Which one do you think is better?

Information report 2

In writing, we had to make another information report and this time we had to do it on an endangered animal. I chose the Green Sea Turtle and I had to follow my writing rubric. I know that I followed my rubric because I got 3's in punctuation, spelling, publishing, and closing. I also know that I write it in my own words because it doesn't have any sections the same as a website. My rubric is below. Please leave a comment.

Week 6 ako

For our week 6 ako in literacy, we had to make a crossword puzzle after we had completed one on Lovatt's crosswords. We had to choose 10 words from our book club book and I chose some of the hardest words. I tried to make this as hard as possible. Please say if you could try to complete this or if I could do any better.

My Information Report

For writing, we had to create a report about something in nature that is powerful. I chose crocodiles because I think they are powerful because they can stay underwater for ages. There are 3 types of crocodiles that I did this report on. Can you answer this question in the comments - How heavy can American crocodiles get? Please leave a comment and say what I can improve.

Week 1 reading ako

For our ako in week 1, we had to make a book cover and a blurb. We also had to write a piece about the author. This task was based on our book club book. My book club book was The happy prince and other stories. I chose the cover because a bird is in some of the stories. I made this cover on
Canva. My success criteria helped me make my cover pages better. I think my cover is eye-catching because it has some bright colours. My information came from 2 sites. The sites were Google and shmoop. My cover suits my novel because a bird is in some stories.

Influential New Zealander Report

We were set the task of making a slide with a lot of information on one influential New Zealander. Our teacher Mr. Bell gave us some headings that we could use if we wanted to. I chose Jonah Lomu because he was a really big figure in international rugby when he was playing. My report is above.
