The crowd goes wild

Wind blowing against his face while the crowd goes wild, he broke the world record. Hearing all his fans cheering and laughing and having so much fun, he was so proud of himself. When he finished the race his face was hardcore sweating. Usain’s heart was beating so fast  that  I  saw  his veins on his face. He was probably thinking, I finally broke the world record. The crowd started cheering louder. Usain was really proud of himself. His country would be really proud of Usain Bolt.

How the Kiwi lost it's wings, retold by Joan

Many years ago,Tanemahuta  was walking through a beautiful forest.He looked up at his gentle children reaching the blue sky and noticed that they were getting sick while all the bugs were sucking on their skin.Then Tanemahuta went to talk with his brother, Tanehokahoka called all of his children and his birds.Tanemahuta  started talking to his birds and his children.

Tanemahuta said that someone was  eating  his lovely children and he believed that it was the bugs. He requested the  birds to come down to the forest floor and  live on the forest floor  so that his children would live  and be saved and their land would  be saved.

Tanemahuta asked the Tui if he could come down and stay on the forest floor. The Tui refused to help because he did not like the darkness of the forest floor.  Then he asked the Pukeko and he said no, because he looked down and saw the cold damp forest floor and he did not like his feet getting wet.Then he went and asked Pipiwharauroa if he could save his children but he refused because he was too busy building a nest.Then Tanehokahoka turned to kiwi and asked if he could come down to the forest floor. The Kiwi  turned around and looked at his family and then once more he turned around  and told Tanehokahoka that he would come down and live on the forest floor.Their hearts were really happy.

Then Tanehokahoka cursed all the birds in the forest except for the Kiwi because he risked his life for them.Tanehokahoka said to kiwi that he would be the most known bird in the forest. The Kiwi had to lose its feathers and have strong legs so that it could survive on the forest floor.

Tanemahuta,s children finally had the Kiwi as their protector.

Making a connection

This term we have been learning about making good comments on different blogs.We had to make sure our comments were positive,helpful and thoughtful.I enjoyed posting comments on different blogs because they might also comment on mine.The challenging part was making it positive and specific.It is easy to be positive but it is hard to be specific.You need to also connect with the blogpost.I look for something similar that I know about.So far I am doing great blog commenting on peoples
blogpost. Here is a example of a comment I wrote.I have made a connection by sharing something I did on mothers day.

     

Surprising visit to Pak 'n Save

I was excited! Today Room 7 went to Pak'nSave to learn about the food labels. We took the bus there, the bus was really nice and warm.First we went to  look at the cereals.We looked at the weet-bix  because we thought it was really healthy.We checked  the back of the weet-bix box on the food label.We found out that it had a low sugar.

Next we went to look at the Molenberg bread.I was surprised that  Molenberg was really healthy because I thought that it was not healthy.
The Molenberg sugar level was only 2.8g and the energy was 902 kj.
Before we went back to school we got a $60 voucher from Pak ‘n Save.
With our $60 voucher our class is going to have a healthy lunch together.
