Here is my story from ‘The Deep’

 He put his head under and saw a humongous figure lurking beneath him; it was moving pretty fast. He soon realised that it was trying to swim away from something; it was being targeted. He looked around, saw nothing so he got pretty nervous. Then it made a sound, blood rushing out of it's stomach; it had just been bitten by something  and his boat was about 150 meters away. He didn't know what to do because he didn’t know what had bitten it so he swam back to the boat as fast as possible to get help for it.

 This week some of our class had to do 2 100 word stories about 2 pictures we choose from pobble. I chose to write about The Sky Ladder and The Deep. here is my writing about 

‘Sky Ladder’. 

It wasn't there when he had left the night before but when he had returned in the morning he saw it! A ladder just laying on top of his old shack, he didn't know where it led or where it came from; only one way to find out! Slowly he climbed up the ladder, it creaked whenever he moved an inch. He had nearly reached the top when he heard a loud cracking sound; what was it, where had it came from but then he realised it was the ladder he rushed up to the top but he was too late.

Check Out This Great Analysis DLO

 Last week in Te Ngahere we did an ‘Analysis DLO’. We had to choose 3/6 texts, our options were: The Mouse, The Ship, The Man, Paper Planes, Winter Kingdom, and Bilbo Baggins but one of our texts had to be The Ship. I chose: The Mouse, The Ship and Bilbo Baggins. There were 3 sections for each text; the first section was that you had to find phrases/verbs/adverbs/vivid adjectives; the second was figurative language so any similes/metaphor/personification; the third one was a figurative device. At the end of every section it asked you ‘what mood or atmosphere did this create?’  The hardest part about this was trying to fix what was wrong without knowing what I had done wrong!  During this I learned what a concrete noun is; it's is something that you can either: see, touch, hear, smell or taste.

Do you do anything like this in your class?

Check Out This Great Jumbled Text

 Yesterday in Te Ngahere we had to solve a muddled up text  about ‘Friends’. We were learning to identify and use the correct structure and language features of explain writing.  When I say muddled up I mean muddled up; the title was in the middle of the text, a whole paragraph was on top of the planning and it didn’t even make sense put together! Once I thought I had got it right and was confident I marked it red but it got marked orange (Of course it did). So I rearranged them and marked it yellow but it got marked orange again, I rearranged them one last time and it finally got marked green. It turns out the first few were in the correct places, it was just the last ones, which made it really hard for me.
