Practising Comments for the Film Festival

We are excited for the film festival next week and have been practising writing comments. We are focusing on choosing something specific from the film that we enjoyed or we thought was special. We are also trying to use a  POWER word to improve the quality of our comments.

Today we watched a film from 2018 called Living in Aotearoa. You can watch it here too. Let us know in the comments what part of the film you enjoyed most and why.

Building a blog comment by Ana

We have been learning to write positive, thoughtful and helpful comments. First we explored some awesome blog comments so we could see how to write a quality blog comment.

Next we shared our ideas on our learning site.

Then we read Adut’s blog post on Room 3’s Blog.

Finally we used the fridge magnets to build a positive comment for Adut’s blog post.

Here is a Ana’s comment. Let us know what you think in the comments below.

Cook Island Language Week by Amber

On  Cook Island language week we researched a popular traditional art from Cook Island and it was tie dye. The most fun thing was experimenting with the colours.

When it was the closing of  Cook Island  language we were all sad but we knew that Cook Island language won’t last forever.

We were also unhappy when we made a vaka because we thought we were going to win but we  came second place . We wondered why we didn’t we win  but our teacher said “you don’t always have to win”  and we were like “she’s right” so we got over it  and were happy for the winning class.

Whole school challenge for Cook Island language week by Isaac

We created a vaka  with cardboard and sails, it was so fun. My favourite thing was  creating the vaka with cardboard. We had  assembly to share our vaka in the whole school challenge for Cook Island language week.  Room 5 came 2 place  and room 4 came first.
