Cinquain poem (Whakaari)

Li: For Literacy Ls2 created a Cinquain poem, what is a cinquain poem you might ask? well the first line of a cinquain poem contains One noun, 2 adjectives, 3 Verbs and 4 phrases and 1 synonym and thats what a cinquain peom contain but before we started our Cinquain poem we did a another poem chosing a person we look up to and create the poem. For my practice poem I chose Apii Nicholls because she is a very perserved rugby player and Motivates people to chase their dreams and don’t give up. After the practice poem we got started on our actual cinquain poem we got the choice to pick between 2 volcanos (Whakaari and mount tarawera). After that For the first verse we described how a a volcano sleeps like what it looks like, Then for the second verse we had to explain the volcano awakening from her dormant. After that is the third verse this verse is describing how the volcano reactes when it erupts, and lastly is the fourth verse this verse is where I describe How it causes discretion to the land. The we pasted our cinquain poem from our framework and put in onto a Google draw a make it pretty. Then lastly we blogged explaining the steps on creating our cinquain poem and saying what we enjoyed. Something I enjoyed about this task was finding powerful words to describe the stages of volcanos. Heres my work.

Place Values Up To Millions And 2 Decimal Points.

Today in Maths, Miss Fisi’ahi got each Maths group to create a DLO about what we are learning about at the moment. My Maths group was learning how to name place and total values up to Millions and two decimal places and created a DLO explaining how to so that it can teach others who don’t know how to do it. This was a collaborative task and that was my favourite part about it because we could get more information in the DLO.

Why Maungarei Sleeps.

For Writing Ls2 created a pour quoi story about why Maungarei sleeps, What is a pour quoi story  you may ask ? So let me tell you!. A pourquoi story is a why story it is basicly telling you why something is the way it is and in french pourquoi means “Why”. We had a frame work to organize our story in time sequence. we had to explain detail about our mountain or volcano like giving it a name or describing how the volcano reacted when it erupted , Then we had our problem we explained how Maungarei effected the locals at the time. Then we described how Maungarei became a dormant volacno after its eruption. Then lastly our resolution how did Maungarei turning into dormant volcano help the locals build New Zealand to the way it is now. After that we go onto adobe express and genrate a ai image describing it to look like as it says in our stories then lastly we copied and pasted all our writing and put our ai gentrate image on our blogs and blogged.

Many hundreds of years ago in a country across the sea, there lived a fierce mountain called Maungarei. Watching over aotearoa,  When she woke from her slumber her roars were louder than thunder . As her fiery volcanic heart awoke the other mountains all around her. They knew it was time to seek cover.

She was surrounded by her siblings who despised her for always getting everything. They thought she loved being the youngest but in reality she hated it, she didn’t like to be different, she always wanted to be treated the same as her siblings. 

Until she had enough ridicule she exploded with fury as hot ash came out chasing her siblings away as they ran to take cover. After her volcanic tantrum Maungarei cried herself to sleep realising she was all alone becoming a sleeping guardian to Aotearoa. 

The people who called Maungarei home used the scars of her past fury to plant their kakano.  Everybody lived in harmony shaping the land to be how it is today without any fear of Maungarei waking from her slumber. While Elders share the stories of Maungarei to their mokopuna. (grandchildren) 

Maungarei temper lies within her volcanic heart ,While the local whenua around her are in harmony and peace.While her eyes might remain close but her heart wil

Volcano’s Animation

For inquiry we learned about volcanoes and created a animation about volcano’s and how they erupt , what causes a volcanic eruption? The volcano erupts when 2 tectonic plates crash and touch each other that can make the magma rise to the Earth’s surface which can rise and flow out onto the flat surface of land  I enjoyed doing this activity because I get to learn new information about volcanoes by watching the videos and using our smart searching skills.
