Active learning

In He Puna Kawenga we did active learning.  Active learning is something fun and hands on. First we had to write a three things we learnt about snowflakes for a book. 
1) Snow is soft and fluffy
2) It is made out of cold ice 
3) Snow forms when water vapor  in the atmosphere and freezes into Ice.

Here are 3 things I learnt from the internet:
1) Snowflakes are form in variety of different shapes. 
2) Heavy snowfall is often called snowstorms.
3) Light and fluffy snow is called powder.

Here is the snowflake I created

looker on poem

In He Puna kawenga we have been learning to write descriptions.To write descriptions you have to be good at noticing,observing and wondering.

We went around the school doing this then wrote

poems inspired by Frank Kendon's the Looker on.

                                  

And cars beeping at other cars

And people  swimming in the clear water

And hot rocks melting in the sun

And bird chirping to other

And rooms coming out to play

And bushes filled with spider webs

And bright blue sky too hard to look at

And people talking in class

And leaves crunching under your toes

And hot concrete burning your toes of

By Kingsley.

A place rememberd

We had to describe our bedroom. We had to use adjectives and verbs to make it more interesting. Here is my description.

As soon as the white door opens a big as bunk-bed sticks out like a dark shadow. Beside the big dark bed is a shelf filled with pink baskets and toys. At the end of my huge dark bed is a huge barbie house. Also in the messy wardrobe is a mountain of clothes.
