Burger Advertisement (Writing)

 Hey Readers,

Hope you are having/have had a good day.

This and last week for writing we have been designing own custom burgers, so far it has been really fun.

It was challenging to think of enough ingredients to fill the burger buns

I enjoyed getting to have some creative freedom by being able to choose everything about it, from the bread buns to the sauces, its been great.

I think my favorite part was when we got to make the advertisement on our computers.

Here's mine:

I don't really like it I think it looks kind of bad, the burger buns and stuff way too square.

Would you try my burger?

Here's the link to the instructions on how to make it;

P.S; It's not a real phone number, actually I don't know but don't call it in case it is.

👋 Bye! 👋

Red Pandas Information Report

Kia Ora Reader!

I hope you are having a good day.

Last week we wrote information reports about an endangered animal of our choice there were 12 options;

Mountain Gorilla

Sea Turtles

Polar Bear

Javan Rhino

Hectors Dolphin

Red Panda

Sumatran Elephant 

Sunda Tigers

Snow Leopard

Blue Whale

African Wild Dog

Giant Panda

I chose to do a red panda they are sooo cute. 

I mean look at that! Adorable. 

It was challenging to think of sentence starters.

I enjoyed using researching red pandas as they are very cute and interesting.

Here is my report, I hope you like it, I worked hard on it. 

Red Pandas'

Introduction

Have you ever heard of a red panda? Although they are ‘red pandas’ they look more orangey-brown and they look more like raccoons then pandas. So really they are orange raccoons!

Why are they endangered? 

Red pandas (or orange raccoons) are endangered because they accidentally get caught in traps set for Boar and Deer, being killed. They are also sold on the black pet market where they are kept as pets in an unfamiliar environment where they will most likely not have the necessities they need to live. Sometimes they are also poached so that their fur can be used in clothing. 

Diet

Red pandas are omnivores. They eat leaves, fruit & berries, bird eggs, small lizards and insects. Most people assume that because they have Panda in their name that they would eat bamboo, however, they find it hard to digest because unlike pandas they are much smaller therefore less space for digesting. They have a reasonably simple diet and don't have to go far to get their meals.

Habitat

Red pandas live in Himalayan places such as China, Nepal, Bhutan. They live in trees in high altitude forests in china. They also like high temperature places which is why they like the higher up forests, the heat reaches them more directly. They are killed in their habitats which is very sad because of the reasons I listed earlier on.

Conclusion

To conclude, red pandas are very cute so are sold illegally, taking them away from their natural habitat and diet to be kept as illegal pets.

I hope you learnt something?!

See you later!

Matariki Shape Poems!

 Hey Readers!

Yesterday and today we have been writing shape poems on Matariki.

We could choose to write about Stories, Celebrations, Stars or the Food.

We could also choose which shape we made it into as long as it was related to Matariki.

I chose stars, for both.

⭐⭐⭐

I had time to write 2 poems so I did.

It was challenging thinking of what size and shape it should be.

I enjoyed using google drawing to create my poem.

Have you ever written a shape poem or learned about Matariki?

See you next post!

Similes

Today we did a Mini Lesson about similes. We had to Think Pair Share a couple of times, then we had to make a sentences about it. This was very fun. Here is the slides that we had to use:

My Myth!

In Miss.McLeod's writing group we have been writing myths. Myths are stories of how things were created, each time the myth gets told the person telling the story can have as much fun as they want with the details! So they aren't always really super duper true. Miss McLeod said that we could make up our own myths, she gave us PLENTY of choices. I chose How Owls Got Big Eyes. I saw this option and I got so excited I knew I had to do it. It was challenging think of how they got big eyes. I enjoyed being able to choose what the owls did.

                                                            Here is my writing

Free Verse Poems

On Friday we were writing Free Verse Poems. It was challenging writing the Poem because you can't use full sentences. It was fun because you got to be very creative. We are learning about Matariki because in New Zealand we are supposed to be able to see the cluster on July 13th. We have also written Matariki Cinquain poems Here are the slides for that, the last slide is my Cinquain poem. But back to the Free Verse poems here is a picture of mine.

Facts and opinions

For the past 2 weeks Miss. Bannan and Miss. McLeod`s writing groups have been learning about the genre persuasive writing. We had to either pick dogs or cats and then we had to try and write a persuasive piece of writing. We had a success criteria here is a picture 
          Here is my writing about dogs
