Hiwi the Kiwi writing

One day me and my family went fishing. When you go fishing you need the right fishing gear like: a life jacket, fresh ice if you are fishing in a lake or a river and saltwater ice if you are fishing in the sea. you also need a beacon, a flare, a smoke flare the smoke is usually a light orange colour a flare that shoots up into the sky that reaches a sater light in space and that sends a signal to a life guard and that life guard will send a plane to go and find you but you might see the plane but they won’t see you so that is when you use the smoke flare and they will see you and they will come to you because orange is a close colour to red and red is for danger, and that is why you need to put your life jacket on before you set off sagel otherwise you could be indanger! another thing you will need is a ruler but not a owderney ruler, a speacal fish ruler so you don’t get a big fish for it’s speshes case the fish might have babies and that an’t going to tast very nice, or you might get a baby that is a baby like come on it’s just a baby! That’s why you need a wet towel so if you do get a baby or a daddy or a mummy fish don’t put the fish back with your hands put the fish back with a wet towel cause if you do it with your hands then you will wipe the scales off and then they could get a diseys! So when  I went fishing with my family as soon as I flinged my fishing rod into the water a fish got court into my trap and when we got home we cooked my fish and when it was ready we ate it all up “mm, that was yummy” I said haply.

THE END

By Bridget

You are sharing the Hiwi the Kiwi message in your writing. You have added a lot of details and information to make sure the messages (water safety and sustainable fishing) are clear to the reader. Your language is precise, font easy to read and the colour, although not my favourite, is quite easy to read.
Remember, when publishing you need to make sure the punctuation and spelling are correct so your piece is 'ready to read'. Use spell check and a buddy to help you.

Success Criteria:

• text and some images
• check we have the correct time

Blue Hat

What did I learn? I learned that if you show other people your learning it can help them so they can get to the stage that you are

Black Hat

What did I find the most difficult? nothing really was difficult most of it was easy.

Green Hat

What would I do differently if I could start my learning about time again? I would make a movie and show all what I know about time.

You have the correct time and have used clear language to explain how to tell the time, you are a great teacher! This would be a great poster to help kids who are learning to tell the time. Remember the 'tall' hand is the minute hand and the short hand is the hour hand. This might help you as you keep practising telling the time.

Kinetic/Potential Energy

This is me and my groups Kinetic and Potential Energy movie.

WALT: create an i-movie to demonstrate kinetic and potential energy

How will we know our movie is successful?  

clear camera work (thinking about the sun, keeping the camera still-moving slowly, in focus

clear voices and image (volume, wind, background noises, mumbling)

Reflective Prompts:

I now know that: potential energy is stored energy and kinetic energy is the energy to move

I enjoyed: making the movie and how we decorated it

The most difficult was: planing the where we were to go and the right angel to film

Working with my group was: a little bit hard cause then they will not use your ides if they don't want to 

What great learning about potential and kinetic energy and the swing is a fabulous model to show your learning. A fantastic honest reflection Bridget, it can be tricky working in a group but it can also be very helpful to your learning. You all have to share ideas and work together to grow the most powerful idea.

Next step is to :

Term 1 Wrap up

Reading

WALT: ask questions as we read to make sure we understand what we read.

• I learned to: ask questions and use the text to answer them.
• Most challenging was: figure out answers to some of the questions.
• Next step is to: think of using skinny and fat questions.

Bridget, you are using questioning to help you understand you reading better. You are able to ask thick and thin questions before you read and then use your text to answer them.
Remember, if you are unsure of the answer to your questions, go back to the text to check. Your next step is to keep on asking questions as you read. This will help you dig deeper into the text and to clarify  your thinking and understanding.
