Coopers Beach

Halo oloketa! Bloggers. Hope you had an awesome week at school. This week we have been focusing on working as a group because learning together is empowering.

I enjoyed writing with Lilly because it is easier to get my writing finished. Here it is:

Moment in time

Kia orana bloggers. I hope you had a wonderful week 3. This week we have been learning about similes and metaphors. We have been writing a moment in time that has to at least use one metaphor, one simile and all the punctuation has to be correct. To make a simile you need either a than, as or a like in it. But not every sentence that has a than, as or a like in it is a simile. Pretty tricky. Metaphors are a sentence that says something that someone is like: My mum is a loving heart. Once we wrote our moment in time we had to make something interesting to present it. I made my own mothers weekly. See if you can spot the metaphor and the simile. Here it is:

Learning how to create Venn Diagrams

Kia ora, We have been learning how to create a Venn diagram which compares and contrasts two different animals.

Our teachers say it is good to be able to notice what is the same and different about things. I chose to compare and contrast a Loggerhead turtle and a Tuatara.
Here is my Venn Diagram:
