My Tiger Writing

I had to watch a video about tigers and then write facts about tigers.

Writing Term 2 2020

WALT (we are learning to) : write sentences in our own words about something we
have either watched, read or done.

Success Criteria

-write at least ten clear sentences about tigers

-make sure that your sentences make sense. Read them aloud to a family member to check
them.

-use the correct punctuation. Have you got a capital letter at the beginning of the sentence
and a full stop at the end?

Here is my writing

Did you know that tigers live in Asia. Tigers are massive cats
that can have either reddish orange fur or greyish white fur
with dark vertical stripes. Tigers can grow up to 11 feet long
and weigh up to 660 pounds. Baby tigers are called cubs and
they stay with their mothers until they are 2-3 years old. Tigers
need our help to protect their homes in the forest because
people are cutting down the trees.

Visual Arts Task Term 2 Week 1

We are learning to: Develop ideas by developing and revisiting visual ideas, in response to examples we have seen, and ideas that we can think of for ourselves.

Learning Challenge:  Create a series of pencil or pen drawn faces using the hints from Vexx’s video.

Letter to Mrs Robin

Dear Mrs Robins 

The month is now April and a lot has changed.

School is not the same, there is no sound of a bell at 9:00, no teacher standing in front of me and no friends or games of American football at lunchtime.

Visits to Nana and Grandad’s are different, I wave hello from outside the sliding door, Nana leaves her baking outside for me to collect. 

I’m missing biking to Kumara and the start of hockey season but most of all I’m missing hanging out with my friends.

It’s not all bad, I like that I am allowed to stay up later, have breakfast and lunch whenever I want. I have enjoyed playing motorbike games on cool maths games. 

I’ve been really slack and have not read a book but I promise Mrs Robins I will start reading. I have watched a funny movie called Yogi Bear and spent a lot of time at the horses.

I now realise how much I miss sport and my friends, and that my sisters ain't too bad.  They are fun to play with just a little bit annoying. My Mum and Dad do a lot of housework while we are at school and I live in a kind neighbourhood that put teddy bears in their windows for kids 

like me to see while out walking.

Look Forward to seeing you standing in front of me again
