T4W2 Reading Information | Vanilla Ice Cream, Please!

 Vanilla Ice Cream, Please!

For W2 our passage is "Vanilla Ice Cream, Please!" One of our main tasks was to create a Information web. I used mindmup to make my Information web. I had to add all the facts we knew from the story. 

The main character of our story is a girl from Tongatapu named Veisinia Veikoso. She loves ice cream.

My Information web:

I found it hard to find facts because to me the story was confusing 

and it was hard to put in facts that made sense. 

Something I found easy was to get just enough facts, 

so I didn't have too little facts.

My Core | Taonga

In class we have a new IL topic. We're learning about Taonga. Taonga is treasure is Maori basically. 

So our first task for this leasson was to draw/put in the things that make our core. 

Our core is the things that when people make fun of them we get hurt emotionally and you feel embarrassed. 

We were aloud to make it on our device or paper. I chose to do it on paper because I find it hard to find pictures on my device. I added my things that are special to me. The flag is my Malaysian flag. The Koru heart represents my Maori, the picture frame with family inside is meaning I don't like it when people make fun of my family. The kiwi fruit is saying that I'm a New Zealander. We also weren't aloud to add any writing because it was only things that make up our core, and we were going to talk about what we did on our blog post.

Here is my finished work:

I found it hard to draw because I'm not that good of a drawer.

A thing that I found easy was to get ideas of what to draw. 

We were aloud to look at things to draw.

Return Ticket, Please! T4W1 Reading

In Term 4 I've moved up a group, I'm in Danny now. But one of our reading tasks for this week was to create a information web. I used mindmup to make mine. I added all the information and facts I got from our story, our reading story this week was called Return Ticket, Please! It was also a non-fiction text. It told us about alot of intresting things about Mars, Venus and the Moon. One of the facts I thought was intresting was that the United States, are working with other countries, is planning a new mission to Mars by the year 2020. 

My mindmup:

I found it hard to pick up information from our story and try write it in my own words as well as making it relate to the actual fact that it was. 

What I found easy was to set it out and make sure it had enough information.
