Dear  Bloggers

This is what we had to do in inquiry. We had to make a comic of different types of irony.
I choose verbal irony. There are three different types of irony Verbal irony, Dramatic
Irony and Situational irony.

                                                            

                 
                 

fractured fairy tales

Hi bloggers today in literacy we had to make fairy castle. the things on the top of our story Mountain. in which you say we are doing this thing called fractured fairy tales  the one i did was about the three little pigs.

Kia ora bloggers,

For numeracy today, we have started to learn about angles.  

We learnt about 3 different angles today - acute (less than 90°), right angle (90°), and obtuse (larger than 90° but smaller than 180°).  We also learnt how to use a protractor to measure angles.  We know that we need to measure an angle from a vertice (a corner where two straight lines meet).

For our create task, we had to measure three different angles on the first letter of our name - can you  figure out if they are acute, right angle or obtuse?

Kia ora bloggers,

This week for literacy we have been learning about inferencing and show not tell.  When we read something, we automatically start making inferences, so it is important when we write that we give clues in our writing that allow people to make inferences.  We want to show them - not tell them.

For example:  Paul was frustrated when he got to the bus stop and realised he had just missed the bus.  But instead I could write “Running as fast as he could, Paul turned the corner only to see the back of the bus as it pulled away.  Throwing his bag down on the ground and sighing out loud, Paul realised that he had no choice, but to sit and wait for the next bus to arrive - 20 minutes from now”  You can infer from me saying ‘throwing his bag down and sighing out loud’ that he is frustrated.

Our task was to create a video that accompanied a piece of writing about an elderly man.  We used Adobe Spark to do this.  

Have a look at my video and see if you can you make some inferences about what I have written.

Do you think the elderly man is happy?
