Kia ora, today I will be writing to you to tell you about my week.
One thing I really enjoyed this week was when we made patu in Kaupapa Matua. I really enjoyed making the patu in Kaupapa Matua because we got to shape the patu by using sand paper and I shaped at least four patu. I also really enjoyed making the patu because we were making the patu for the competitive Kapa Haka group and I am in the competitive Kapa Haka group which means that I will get to use the patu we made. A challenge I faced this week was reading because we had to try and read as many words as we could in one minute and I only read 156 words and I think that next time I could better. I also found reading challenging because I find sometimes I don’t really have enough time to read the whole story and then my reading group has to talk about what the book is about but I have not read the whole book so I don’t know the whole story.
Something I felt proud of this week is the Oxford pretest in Pangarau. I felt proud of my Oxford pretest because I got 100% in the pretest. Next week, I want to get better at my Handwriting because I think when I write “The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.” a few of my letters I could write better. Some of the letters I think I could write are my g’s, y’s, and z’s because they seem to nearly always come off the line. If I could change one thing about this week, it would be finding the root word in Panuitia because I find that we need to make some more fun activities that involve having to find the root words or something like that because I find that some of the kids in our class are not learning much because they think that it is boring so they do not listen.
Thank you for reading my blog. I hope you enjoyed reading my blog, see you next time.
Sounds like you’ve been doing some excellent learning this week, and really finding success in lots of it. Great stuff! Your patu task sounds really interesting, and sounds like you getting quite into it, it’ll be great to keep reading about it as you get further through it. Maybe you could share a little more about the specifics of what you shapped your patu into?
