Maungarei Moment in Time Poem

LI: To write a poem that describes a moment in time.

This week we wrote moment in time poems. We first got into groups of 4 or 5. We wrote a poem using our five senses from what we saw, heard, smelt on top of the mountain, and we connected it with the past. This activity was really fun because we had to find some way to connect the present with the past.

 

 

Polar Bear Moment in Time Poem

LI: To write a poem that describes a moment in time.

This week we wrote moment in time poems. We first watched a video of a man getting attacked by a polar bear. But thankfully he was in his protective cage and no harm was caused. We wrote a poem using the 5 senses, and wrote about how we would feel or what we would see, if we were the man in the video. This activity was interesting because we used interesting vocabulary using wordhippo.

 

 

Sound Focus

Sound Focus: ou as in short u.

Long vowels say the letter name and short vowels say the letter sound. For Example: Pray is a long vowel because it says the name of the letter, and Apple is a short vowel because it says its name. Our Sound Focus for this week is ou as in short u. To be able to pronounce ou, you will need to say short u, as in the letter sound. Some of the words we went over were touch, courage etc…

This activity was very enjoyable because there were words that could’ve had different spellings like tough as tuff or touch as in tuch.
