Explanation Writing - Camels

How have camels adapted to their environment?

Are you aware that camels are special creatures which they adapted to their environment and can survive without 30 days of water in the desert. Did you know that camels can drink 46L in 1 session?.

Deserts are very dry and hot. There is little vegetation and almost no water. This could be the main reason why there are no trees and plants to drink enough water.The sand that covers the ground can absorb the heat and becomes extremely hot during the days. strong winds can cause quickly and is known the sand storm This is very dangerous because it can blind you.

When the sandy storm has meant over time camels have adapted by growing 2 sets of eyelashes and nostrils can close and protect during in the sand storms.Camels have thick lips to protect their mouths From the sharp thorns on the cactus plant. Cactus plants have source of hydration for these animals as they contain water.

Water is very rare in the desert. Camels get water from the cactus plant which is why they have thick lips as this helps them to avoid sharp thorns that get in their way. Food and water is not easy to find in desert conditions so camels have a hump that stores fat. This fat is later used for energy and hydration when the camel is tired and thirsty.

A desert is a hard place to survive in so over time camels have adapted to this environment.

This week for writing i have been learning about how camels can adapted to their environment. What I had to do for this activity is making a copy of the camel explanation and putting powerful words and facts into my camel explanation did you know that camels can drink up to 46L. I have enjoyed working in this DLO because it shows all about camels.

Kahoot

For writing we made a question on Kahoot that tells about explanation. First we find the group of three. I worked with Kanye and Te Pounamu. It was quite hard to make a question because we need to make a 12 question and it need to be a challenge and creative. 

Apostrophes

For this week our writing group has been working on their apostrophes DLO. This is my DLO of showing what is an apostrophe what we had to do is create an google drawing about the apostrophes and blog post on your blog i have enjoyed doing this activity because it will show me all about
                                                                  apostrophes.

Pechaflikr Narratives

Toady for this week for writing we had to finish our writing dlo because it will be good to show all people about our learning at Panmure Bridge School. My partner was Joshua and we made a dlo about pechaflikr, pechaflilkr is something you make out of an story that tells someone what is the story about then we moved on to our link ideas between paragraphs what we had to do is link our comments of what the story is gonna be about so Joshua and i put our information and powerful words on to the link ideas between paragraphs then we paint a picture with words to show not tell what was happening. this was an good activity with my partner so we can do this an another time and the hard bit was trying to add more powerful words.

Leap of Faith

 This week for writing we were writing a narrative. This narrative is about taking a leap of faith. This is a first person story describing the feelings and mixed emotions this person was feeling while competing in a big event. To help improve my writing I proof read it out loud to hear for my mistakes. I added, deleted and changed sentences and words to make it more interesting

    How children learn at school

Children learn at school in lots of different ways.

They experience new things and copy  people to learn how to do things

They watch and learn form each others. And the teachers tech new students how to do things

Kids collaborate new ideas to show that children learn at school in lots of different ways

children practise their skills to improve learning one of the things they do to is ask questions and 

focus more. they gain knowledge from others by asking and use it to improve their skills

Children are curious to learn things. Not all the time children know what to do so, they ask questions. They learn in many different ways. learning is a big part of their lives. They watch others and copy them.

Learning to use Synonyms

Today me and my writing group learnt to use synonyms. I worked with my partner Christopher. We had to change the boring words into interesting words using synonyms. We thought of different words that mean the same thing to make our sentences more noticeable. I thought this was exciting because we had to look for the synonyms using google dictionary then make sure they made sense in the sentence.

Let me tell you about...

Let me tell you something about lunchtimes at PBS. When the bell rings I can hear people running to get their delicious tasty, juicy lunch. I can see people munching on their sandwiches. Then everyone races to the courts, people laugh and run. We play handball, the hand ball is hard when it slaps against my palm. If the rain comes people scream for no reason because they think it’s scary and like something is coming to melt the building! Then everyone comes to the class, the wet day monitors have to go to the juniors because the kids can’t look after themselves. The juniors make a lot of noise but in our class we all just go on our chromebooks or find something quiet to do.

In writing we have been learning how to proofread and give feedback / feed forward. After 10 minutes of writing we had to work in partners to make sure what we had written made sense.

narrative structure

Today I've finished my narrative structure with Joshua and looking for  information  about the story .
it was hard to find the correct order of the  story. When we started doing it I felt brilliant about my self and  my work with Joshua

Personification

Fatongia and I worked together to create this DLO that uses personification to describe the days of the week like they were humans.

The balloon popped!

We stood up and excitedly walked over to bows that were lying on the cobblestones silently waiting for us. We all picked the bows up at the same time. It was like we were in a race to see who would fire first.  

With the arrows notched onto the bowstring we placed our fingers around the knot. One finger above the knot and two fingers below. Like everyone else we lifted our bows and pulled the string towards our faces. You could hear the ting on the string as the arrow launched itself towards the target.

“Pop!” We couldn't believe our eyes. Both balloons popped at the same time we felt so proud when everybody clapped and cheered.    

Both of us had smiles on our faces as we picked up our arrows. Lucky only we know not all our arrows hit the target.

Today me and Josh wrote a recount about when the balloon popped. It's about how me and Josh stood up and walked over to bows that were lying down on the ground then put one finger above the knot and two fingers below. Like everyone else we lifted the bow only me and Josh got the balloon on the taggert at the same time!
