Waka Art

WALT: find symbols that represent our family.
I put this main emblem on my hoe because it represents my family and their home country England.
I put the paw print in because I have a pet puppy and the 3 belts represent the three different karate dojos that I have been to. I enjoyed drawing all of the different details but it was challenging to draw the castle.
I could be BTB by drawing more symbols in the gaps.

Word of the week: Assertive

WALT: broaden our vocabulary
We did this by choosing a word and then writing the meaning in our own words. Then writing 3 Synonyms for that word then we wrote a sentence with that word in it and then made a picture to do with the sentence.

in late February we had some visitors. Three scientists and a DOC person as well. They came to our school to teach Whenua and Ngahere about weeds, native plants, the japanise honeysuckle the Honshu White Admiral Butterfly and we even released some into the bush by the field. They said that in a few weeks we would start to see them and their cocoons.

   

my Walt was to describe a special place without saying where it was. I enjoyed describing the place using heaps of adjectives. I found that having the right adjectives in the right place and trying to get a good array of adjectives was challenging.
