Writing Learning Story.
“I write to give myself strength”. I write to be the characters that I am not. I write to explore all the things I’m afraid of”- A quote by Joss Whedon.

To communicate our identity effectively, as writers we can…
  • Use a hook,
  • Maybe use other ways of making our reader want to read more, like... (ellipses) or only giving a little information at once,
  • Make our readers work something out (in` fer) by:
  • Giving clues and not stating directly,
  • Using anecdotes and examples-storie from our past.
  • Use clever Dialogue,
  • Punctuation,
  • Carefully choose language to create a picture for our reader,
  • Use informal language-everyday language/language we use with our friends,
  • Rhetorical questions.
This is our success criteria to help us write our personal/identity.
I was good at sharing information that people didn’t know about me. In each paragraph I talked about something different and made a little idea seem so big. For example my real name.

While writing my personal profile I learnt how to use show not tell for example instead of writing “I love music because blah blah blah”, I used show not tell by writing-music is a talent and a passion that I love. That’s what I learnt throughout writing my personal profile/identity.
The K.C skills I used were self-managing and relating to others. First of all I was good at self-managing because I chose the right place to sit and the right people to sit with. Relating to others was a K.C skill I used very well because I asked for advice on how I could make it more interesting.
My next steps are to use other ways of making the reader want to read more, like (ellipses), or only giving a little information at once because I haven’t used it before in my learning.
Things that I found hard was to make my story interesting, it was a struggle because I was stuck every time I started a new paragraph and I didn’t know what to talk about so I asked my peers for some ideas.
“The art of writing is the art of discovering what you believe”.

Fraction Learning Story

Fraction Learning Story In Maths with Miss Gibbs we have being working on our fractions but hard ones. The problem is about Manaia’s Church is having a Mother’s Day service on Sunday. They spent ¾ of an hour practising on Tuesday afternoon, and ⅞ of an hour practising on Wednesday afternoon. How many hours have they practised for so far this week? I was trying my best to find out how many hours have they practised for so far this weekend? First we draw a diagram with ¾ and we colored in 3 boxes because it says on the problem that Manaia’s sister’s spent ¾ of an hour. Then we draw another diagram with ⅞ and colored in 7 boxes because it says that ⅞ of an hour practising on Wednesday afternoon. After that my maths group were tired same as me but I didn’t give up because when you are in a maths group you don’t give up i was really trying my best thinking and thought to worked out the problem but it was time to pick up.

It’s not about being the best, it’s about improving your personal best and not giving up. Beating my personal best is a goal I have achieved this year, even if I struggle, I never give up. The first thing we did was rest/play. While we were resting/playing we watched others to see what they did to be good. We also cheered people on and encouraged them to keep on trying. Encouraging was something I did all day. I was a brilliant cheerleader. I enjoyed encouraging my peers so that it would motivate them to achieve their personal best. In a way it made me feel as though I was responsible for a little bit of my peers accomplishments and happiness. Only a little bit. Then we moved on to discus. I think I tried my best to get silver even though my goal was to get gold but at least I tried. I had to learn how to hold a discus before I threw it and to throw it in the right direction. I think I improved on my real throw because I took the teacher’s advice. The teacher's advice was to...

Reading Learning Story.

For reading we have been reading different stories. Most of our stories that we have been reading were based on myths and legends from different cultures. In reading me and my group have been reading this story called “Tarakura of the Rangitaiki Plains” by Bernadine Ngaheu. It was about a great Chief and great Warrior, his name was Iratumoana. There was also another character & this character was not a human, he was Tarakura, the monstrous taniwha who plagued the people of Ngati Awa. This book was interesting because there was a sentence that hooked me in Here is the sentence I was talking about: “This conflict between chief and taniwha would determine the future of the Ngati Awa people”. It hooked me in because.. it has interesting words- for example: Conflict & Determine. It also hooked me in because when I read it the author made me feels like I am part of the story. The author also makes us visualise an image in our heads by using- (Powerful adjectives to m...
