I wrote down persuasive texts.
First I chose what I was going to argue about why we should have less school time. Then I went on to multiple websites to find some reasons about my topic
Afterwards I wrote down my ideas and put in an explanation for each of my topics on why we should have less school time.
To finish up I linked all of the websites I used to find information from to each one of my topics.
I learned a lot about why we should have less school time
I Learned persuasive writing.
First I watched 2 videos on what persuasive writing is. It talks about what persuasive writing is and how to use it. Then I finished watching the videos.
Afterwards I got a document and brainstormed some ideas about school, self, and world using traffic light colors. The traffic light colors are green, red, and yellow. Green means go forward, red means to stop, and yellow means slow down.
To finish up we got into partners then we went through each other's ideas.
I learned a lot about what persuasive writing is and how to use it.
This week I wrote cause and effect sentences.
I started off by putting back an explanation back together, stage one was about eggs, the second stage was about the caterpillars, the third stage was about chrysalis, and the fourth stage was about the butterflies.
Then I made sentences that used cause and effect in them as well as using causal language in the sentences.
This task helped me learn more about causes and effects and how to use causal language.
Commanding Conversation is a can do for writing.
You write a short story that's about 3 or 4 sentences using an image to write about.
I used two images to write two conversations. The first one was about two girls going to the movies and the second one I did was about 1 kid being mean to another and the third kid telling the mean girl to stop.
This was fun because I really enjoyed writing conversations with the pictures and I got to learn more about how to use punctuation.

Today we had a performance on our school stage.
When the performance group came through the door they played a putara for their entrance ceremony. The performance group did different maori dances which used ti rakau, poi, taiaha.
Next they explained how to use them and what they were for.
They also performed a haka for the school, then the kapa haka boys also performed a haka for the people and the parents who came.
At the end we played a game called Maui and matou. Maui means left and matou means right. To play this game you have to have a stick and when someone says Maui you let go of your stick and go to the other one near you and it is the same for matou.
Formality tells people when to use formal or informal language at the right time.
Formal is when you have to follow the rules and respect people like when someone special comes to the school you have to be nice.
Informal is when you don't need to follow any rules and don't need to be respectful like when your friends come over.
Formal and informal are the opposite of each other.
L.I. To Identify formal and informal language.
