Show don't tell 3

This week we had to fill in a show don't tell showing how people have felt in the book so far. We just finished the book running wild and the ending was great I loved it. I hope you enjoy :)

Oona's Story

This week we had to create a story on Oona's perspective until where we are up to now in the story running wild.

Oona’s Story Hi, my name is Oona and I am an elephant that gives rides on the sandy beaches of indonesia. Today there was just something about the sea that I didn’t like at all. I didn’t even go for my morning swim that I usually love so much. I just wasn’t going to take any chances with that water today. Today I had this really kind kid called Will riding me. He looked a little worried trying to get up onto me and when he was up he still held on to the rail very tightly he waved goodbye to his mother and we were off. 

 I loved these walks even though I did the same everyday I guess I just loved imagining what the kids' faces would be like as they rode me. We were about to turn around when I saw something way out on the horizon, something that no'one else could see a tsunami was coming. That was when I knew we had to go as far away from this very beach as possible. 

 I suddenly sprinted. I felt a little bad because Will, the boy that was riding me, nearly fell off at first but then he managed to get back up which I was very glad about. He was also probably wondering what I was doing as I suddenly ran into the jungle which was probably a bit scary for him. I just knew that the longer we walked along that beach the more danger we would be in. I ran for what seemed like days and nights while WIll was either sleeping or slapping my neck asking for food and water. Trust me I would get him food but only when we were a safe distance away. 

 One day when I was just walking we I came across a stream that had no crocodiles which was good so I decided to lie down in the middle so Will could get out and have a big drink of water. He must have been asleep or something because I ended up waiting there for quite some time. Well, it seemed like a very very long time. Finally I felt the wait of Will come off my back and saw WIll swimming across the stream to the other side where he sat and drinked for a long time and really wanted to play with him so I completely submerged myself under the water, the best hide and seek spot ever isn’t it? 

He got very grumpy at me. I don’t know why I was just playing. I think he thought that I had just left him so I decided to pop my head back up to the surface to see what he was doing. He looked quite surprised that I had just been trying to play with him and he actually started playing with me which was really fun. 

 We started walking again and I picked some figs from high up on the branches and gave them to Will. He was really grateful. I ate some too of course but mainly just leaves and twigs. 

 We walked for a few more hours when I heard a snap of a branch and an orange and black striped shadow emerged into the clearing where we were both standing. It was a tiger. I had had many encounters with these creatures before so I was not worried. WIll probably was though. I said to the tiger to go away and leave us alone or I will stamp on you and you will cry in pain. Guess what he actually went away which is very cool I felt pretty cool too.

Tsunami Writing

This week during lock down we had to do a task on what it would of been like to be on the beach when the tsunami came and how you would feel. We have started a book called running wild and it is about a boy who is on an elephant when a tsunami comes on to the beach that he is riding on. This book is really good so far so maybe you could read it one day. Hope you enjoy it :)

A moment in time

Last week in Ruma Whitu the Wai girls literacy group had to complete a journal response for one of the two moments in time on the left. This task was really fun because you got to think about how to write particular phrases into a journal form. I really enjoyed this task! Hope you like it :)

Aunty Megs Quotes

This week in literacy one of our tasks that we had to complete was a slide on three quotes that tell us about Aunty Megs character in the story 'Alone on a wide wide sea'. This task was really fun because we got to look through the book to find her best quotes. I hope you like this slide :)

Refugee Week 9

This week all of our activity's were on on slide. This week we read chapters 36-40 they were really interesting but also sad and scary. On this slide there is a page on vocabulary, a page on figurative language and of coarse all of the think and respond pages it was really fun hope you like it :)

Refugee

 

    This my think and respond that I worked on for the book called refugee it was really run and I loved filling in the think and respond format. Hope you enjoy

This is my emotive language slide that we also had to do while we were reading the book called refugee. We had to make all the sentences better and way more emotive. Hope you enjoy

Refugee

This week in Ruma Whitu we have been reading from chapters 11-15 of the incredible book called refugee. For one of the tasks we had to write next chapter of one of the characters in the book. I chose Isabel because I think that her story is definitely the best in my opinion and it is really easy to understand what she is talking about in each paragraph. Refugee is such a good book maybe you could have a read of it one day!

Refugee

This is my think and respond that I did this week in Ruma Whitu. Think and respond is sometimes quite challenging because you have to find evidence to support your answer or statement which is sometimes pretty hard. We do think and respond every week to see if we still remember what we read and to tell other people what we have read. The book refugee is very cool! Maybe you could have a read one day.

Refugee

In class we are doing heaps of activity's based on the book refugee. This is one of our activity's it is called think and respond we had to put heaps of evidence into our activity so it is more believable for the reader. The book refugee is based on three kids who are refugee's. It's so good you should have a read of it one day. Hope you like it!

Refugee

This week we had to read chapters 6-10 in the book refugee this is one of the activity's that we had to complete. It is a character traits google drawing it was quite fun. If both of your characters had one of the same traits you had to put a circle over it to be easier to see that they are the same words. I am loving reading the book refugee at the moment so maybe you could have a look at it.

Refugee

  

In Ruma Whitu this week we have been reading the book called Refugee. It is made up of stories of three refugee children and their sad stories, their called Josef, Isabel and Mahmoud. We have been learning all about the sad life or good life of a refugee. All of the kids have to escape from their home town/ Country when the Nazi take over. I am really enjoying reading Refugee in class time it is really interesting and you learn so much in every page of the fabulous book Refugee.

 I filled in this think and respond sheet I hope you like it.
