Waiho Bridge recount

For this activity we had to write a recount about the tragity that has happened at A bridge called the Waiho bridge near Franz Joseph Glacier in the west coast of the south island.Also for this activity we had to use the same strategy that I used in the previous Blog post.We had to use the 5 ws,some connective words a introduction,a conlusion and facts.

 Waiho Bridge Washed Away Due to strong flooding!!!!!

WALT:Write A Recount.   Orange indicates that I have changed the word/words to sound more interesting.

Did you know that near the Waiho bridge is the Franz Joseph Glacier so when the river was in flood there where big pieces of ice coming down?

       Yesterday in the early evening on the 26th of

When:  March  2019 The Brown Muddy water

Were:underneath of the Waiho bridge south of Franz Joseph Glacier on the west coast was in flood and it was starting to damage the bridge this Why:happened due to the heavy rain and strong winds Luckily they had closed the bridge 1 hour before this happened.

Adjective: A we while after that some parts of the bridge were getting aggressively ripped off.This would have been very scary if you were stuck on one side of the Big messy river river and your family being on the other side and you couldn’t get home.

How: Next the Big long Bridge Bridge was only half a bridge and the other half

was Speedingly drifting down the river.Some people saw this happening were Who: people that lived nearby and some people were just visiting the Franz Joseph Glaciers and the police.

They must have gotten a fright!!!!

After that all of the bridge had suddenly disappeared and there was no bridge and it had became very dangerous because the river was in flood of coarse and it was flowing very fast and could easily sweep you off your feet and down into the water so you will have to be careful.

Conclusion: I think that this is really terrible because lots of people like to go to the glaciers and now they can’t also some people might be stuck up there. It was scary how the river was so strong to actually knock the bridge over.

I waited for the Bus

WALT:Add Detail to our sentences to give detail to the reader.

For this activity we had to Choose a simple sentence out of Alana stood on the step,I waited for the bus or I got a call for 5 minutes and I choose to do the sentence I waited for the bus.Also for this activity we had to add in one sentence/word for each new line.Every time that we add something new in we have to start another sentence and write more things.We had to write a adjective,when,where,how and why.  Here is my explanation

Goal Setting

W.A.L.T Goal set using our testing data.

 For this activity we had to read off our sheet of paper that says the questions from the test that we have done and see what our goals will be depending on what questions that you got wrong.Also we are doing a personal goal which is a goal that can be something at home or something else that you want to work on I really enjoyed this activity.

The Mines afire

WALT: Recreate A scene from our Class Novel in a visual format using imovie.

For this activity we had to create a short movie trailer for our Class novel that we were reading called Mines afire.I really enjoyed this activity My favourite parts about it were when I was doing the videoing and also when I took some of the pictures.We have learnt quite a lot of information from this book.The scene that we were recreating was when it was the explosion in the Brunner Mine and everyone was pretending to be really sad.Next time when we make another video I think that we hopefully will work better as a team and bring in some props because this time we all forgot to bring in some props.

Poetry Anthology

We have been learning a variety of different types of poems such as Cinquain,Acrostic,Haiku,Raps,and Limerick poems.Most of these Poems are really hard but I gave them a go but the hardest poem to write was probably a Limerick and my favourite Poem was my acrostic poem because I like writing acrostic poems about my dog.
