LI: To use the senses in our poem

We wrote a poem with senses about a polar bear an a man in a box that a polar bear that trys to scratch its way in but fails, I wrote:

I heard the paws of the pale brute land on top of the weak plastic shield, rumbling the cage trying to break their way into the fresh meat hiding inside.

I saw the menacing black dots appearing to be creeping towards me, I gazed upon the pale entity through my brittle cage as it scratched and rammed its huge torso into the only thing that stood between me and certain death.

I felt vulnerable for the first time as I tried to avoid the frigid gaze of the beast, not feeling initially troubled at this moment, but love at first site does not apply at these abominable white cold lands.

I wondered if the brutal beast would come upon another human, stalking it throughout the cold and misty landscape, its black void like eyes quietly contemplating his next meal.

I enjoyed this task because

LI: To write a haiku poem

In this task I wrote a haiku of how Maui slowed the sun, the poem me and my group made said: The bright flaming sun, Crossed the earth before it came, Maui couldn’t work, Maui had enough, Gathering his brothers, Four of his brothers, Creating powerful ropes, So the sun wouldn’t escape, Ready to set off They were sure to win, Awaiting for the sun to rise, Hid behind clay walls, When the sun emerged, Maui stood with all his might, He lept forcing him to slow

I enjoyed this task because I got to write a haiku about maui slowing the sun down.

LI: to write a poem about Mt Wellington/Maungarei

In this task we wrote a poem about Mt Wellington/Maungarei, we walked up the mountain for information about the senses: what we heard, what we saw, what we felt, what we wondered and what we smelt.

I heard whistling of the misty and chilly wind blowing past my face, as the spine chilling cries of war faded into the distance.

I saw the traffic maneuvering around the streets of today, the streets that hold the secrets of yesterday.

I felt powerful on the mountain top, surrounded by the taonga buried it has in the past and the knowledge it brings to the present.

I wondered about what this mounga provides to us and what it provided, as the dangers and wisdom it brings today to travel up this mounga, along with the shelter and advantages it brought a long time ago.

I enjoyed this task because I got to learn about Mt Wellington/Maungarei.

For this task we wrote a poem of what me and my group heard, saw, felt & wondered called the five senses and wrote 2 types of poems.

First I did the moment in time task where we had to, I had to write a poem about what I heard, saw, felt and wondered when watching the polar bear scene. soon after me and my group had to make a copy of a google drawing of what we heard, saw, felt and wondered one of the senses were:

I heard the paws of the pale brute land on top of the weak plastic shield, rumbling the cage trying to break their way into the fresh meat hiding inside. 

Secondly I wrote a poem about the time we went up Mt Wellington and what we heard etc, we also wrote facts about Mt Wellington like: The Maori claimed Maungarei around 1400 AD. One of the senses for Mt Wellington was:

I saw the traffic maneuvering around the streets of today, the streets that hold the secrets of yesterday.

Lastly we had to make a slide and make two dlo’s about Mt Wellington and the polar bear scene we watched. Also the 5 senses are: Auditory, Tactile, Visual, Gustatory and Olfactory.

I wrote a poem about a specific word containing the five senses.

First we read two example poems about gloom and happiness, Happiness talks about “Happiness looks like a full moon, shining brightly over a moody sky” and ” Happiness is a warm feeling, growing inside you”.

Secondly I had to choose a word to write my poem about, I chose the word compassion with my partner, we used Canva to : find a photo as a background of Compassion and can write the poem, this poem contains all the senses: Auditory, Tactile, Visual, Gustatory and Olfactory and Kinetic.

Lastly I had to actually write the poem, this poem is talking about how sour things can go, sour to sweet like a sour patch kid. One of the senses are: “It smells like a beautiful flower (sweet pea), that blooms with perfume everywhere.” and “Compassion moves like love, spreading all around the world.”

LI: To write a sentence using long /e/ and long /a/

For this task, we wrote sentences in the long /e/ and long /a/, we had to write an silly sentence using the long /e/ and /a/.  One of our sentences we wrote from the “long /e/”:  The Foreign person forgot the receipt to the t-shirt from the leisure brand, but received uber eats from the ceiling and realised he was deceived. 

I enjoyed this task because I had to write a a silly sentence.

I had to do a film review about a movie from the manaiakalani film festival.

First I had to the plot and characters, wich I answered with:

What happens? People being mean to him and then someone puts a nice word on him, Are there any plot twists? A girl puts a note saying love, Did you find the plot interesting?  I find when everyone was being mean and putting words on him, Who are the main characters? The boy getting bullied, Who was your favourite character? Why? The kid getting bullied, because I felt sad for him.

Next I had to put the photo of the picture of the movie, then wrote my opinion :

Did you like the film? I liked the film because it has a good moral What was your favourite part? Why? When the girl gave him a word saying love and him taking all the negative notes off him.

Lastly I did my recommendation :

Would you recommend this film to a friend? What age group would you recommend this film to? What kind of people would enjoy this film?

Why? Yes, it should be to year 2 or 3’s, anyone because we can enjoy watching.

For writing we had to write a book, my book name is Kinetic Crusader.

In the world of superheroes, I am the kinetic crusader, a blur of lightning speed, flight, impenetrable durability, and a bloodline that sets me apart. Alongside my loyal partner Tongan Adam.

we face the relentless onslaught of villains. Apex, the master of illusions and teleportation, threatens our world. Ice Cold’s chilling abilities, including time-freezing, pose a formidable challenge. It’s a race against time, and I must harness my powers to protect humanity from these chilling foes.

This term we are going to publish our own narrative stories into a book.  This week we had to write a brainstorm for our story, then use that to create a blurb.  A blurb is something you’d find at the back of the book.  It describes the story to the reader, but it doesn’t tell you too much.  Using keywords from our blurb, we then generated images using an AI site.

I enjoyed this because I got to get an AI image from craiyon.com. I need to improve on nothing, I did well at everything.

Throughout this year, our Writing group has learnt different aspects of writing a narrative story. This week’s task was to “finish” 6 stories we chose out of the slides Miss Tele’a provided. 

My favourite ending I wrote was for the story She forgot the last thing , because she forgot the parcel her dad had told her to post before leaving.  I did well at writing some stuff, I need to improve on writing more, I liked how we could write ending.
