 Is it a sentence? 
This week we've been learning about sentences.
- What is a sentence?
- What makes a perfect sentences? 
- SMASHing our sentences. 








After, discussion and learning about sentences, students practiced writing simple sentences and SMASHing their writing. The students enjoyed learning in a variety of differeint ways, writing in on the whiteboards, working with a buddy and their favourite, SMASHing Whaea Marizaan's sentence.

    Kia ora ano Pohutukawa,
    I love the idea of SMASHing Whaea Marizaan's sentence! You have obviously been working hard to put spaces in your work, checking it makes sense, adding fullstops and capital letters, checking it sounds ok(!) and underlining any not sure words. I think you might have to come and teach some of my students at high school how to use this tool for their writing! Nā, M

Nanny Mihi and the Rainbow

By -
Cybersmart- Nanny Mihi and the Rianbow This week in Pohutukawa we read Nanny Mihi and the Rainbow, by Melanie Drewery. We were learning about making connections. We thought about times when we had walked along the beach collecting things, like the tamariki in the story. We also shared about when we had heard some of the te reo kupu from the story, and used our connections to understand the meaning of these words. We learnt a bit about the M ā ori Atua (gods) in this story, and we made a connection with the way the gods hung the rainbow in the sky to share the tamariki’s mahi. This is just like when we share our mahi on a blog post, because then everyone can see and enjoy our great work. After we finished the story, we made our own rainbow collage, using explore, search for different textures and crop tool. The best bit about making our rainbows was using different textures, colours and shapes. We hope you like them!

 Describe it.  Pohutukawa is learning how to add detail in their writing.  - Why do we need details in our writing?  - What is an adjective/WOW words/ Describing word?  - SMASH our writing.  What an awesome writing session, we learnt about adding detail to our writing to make it interesting for the reader and to create a mental image while reading. We started by discussion what is an adjective, and it can make our writing more intersting. Students tworked in small group coming up with as many adjectives as they could describing some animal photos. We then used the adjectives to write some sentences.  The students enjoyed this very much. (Photos of the students writing to come.)
