Writing goal setting 2017

In Te Maunga we have been learning to take care of our own learning. First we have been doing our WRITING goals. I need to focus on my ideas and leveling up on it.
 I did well with explaining what I need to do next and why I needed to do it, what I didn't do well was how much time it took to finish this.

	I spell all essential list words correctly. and spell some difficult words using my knowledge of spelling rules.	I carefully choose the punctuation I use to help with the meaning of my writing and correctly use a wide range of punctuation.	I use a variety of words and phrases to add detail and I choose words to make people want to read my writing.	I use a variety of words and phrases to add detail and I choose words to make people want to read my writing.	My ideas are on the topic and are beginning to show some complexity. (Personal Voice)	I have selected an appropriate purpose and format for my audience, and use appropriate language features.	I put my ideas in order or groups and am attempting paragraphs. I use clear pronouns.
How do I know? Give some examples from your writing of why you think you are in that box	On my spelling list I had a few challenging  words but I got through them. E.g : Beautiful Encourage Route	I think I am R6 because I use most punctuation like Brackets, full stops, commas,question marks and capital letters.	I think I am an R4 because I didn’t really think about my sentence structure that well when I had written my 5 complex sentences.	I think I am an R4 because I used similes, I used adjectives, I used good metaphors and I also used different words than the ones I have already written down.	I think I am an  R4 because I don’t write Complex sentences while noticing them while I write and I don’t go very well with coming up with idea’s.		I do not organise my stories I write before I start writing them.
What next? What are your next learning steps?	By giving myself harder words each week ( Words That are list 10 )	I will keep writing stories with lots of speech marks and question marks.	I think I could do better with thinking about my complex sentences when I write a story.	I think I should use more interesting words when I write my stories.	I think I should try to come up  with more ideas before I start writing.		I think I should organise my paragraphs better.

As you can see, this is my wring learning plan.↑

Beach ED

Te Maunga has been learning about beach education. We learnt the rules for going to the beach, what the lifeguards use as tools for rescues and also we asked some random questions about their job. Te Maunga has been making animations of what we learnt with the lifeguards. (The rules). Here is my animation↙

Get NZ Writing

In Te Maunga, we have been making a poster for get NZ writing. Bella,       Lilli-Rose and I have been in charge of the poster. We had to answer questions on the poster and also make it look good. We tried to give as many people in the class a job to do on the poster. We had to make the poster in a very short amount of time. Some people didn't get a job for the poster. We also had little cards with gigantic letters on them. Since the whole class did the cards, we would join the cards up together and it would make one whole sentence. On the back, we would write a metaphor about ourselves.Here are some photo's that we took of our cards, the cards stuck together and also the poster.

In the end everybody was SO excited to collect Wellingtons cards and also poster. Here is there poster! 

On our poster, the cards that were stuck together said...

'' Talk With People Who Help You See The World Differently!''
