In Term 2 Week Four we did Play Make Create. This is where the teacher reads you a story and you discuss the message in the story. Then you create something based on the message and also do a piece of writing. You can use materials or make a digital creation. This week Mrs Craig Read the book paper, Scissors, Rock. It was about friendship and learning about your strengths and weaknesses. I chose to make a comic strip about ruler vs paint. Paint won.
I am a Year 5 student in Team Moana at Ohaeawai School in Northland, New Zealand.

Feathers
This last week my class and I walked around the school to find feathers for our writing. We had to use different sentence starters, adverbs and adjectives to help us write about feathers. Here is my work.
Feathers
Feathers are soft and delicate like a kitten's fur. The feathers can be the colour of a little rainbow. Bird feathers on the wings. The body feathers are fluffy like a fluffy pillow. Feathers can be shaped differently, some can be big and some can be small. Feathers can be colourful, some can have plain colours, only black, white and grey. The feathers of a bird don’t have to be colourful to be pretty. Feathers can be dirty and have little bugs in them like fleas but you can’t see the dirtiness sometimes because the feathers are really pretty and decorative. Feathers from birds are all different colours, some are light and some are dark. All feathers are different. Feathers are light.

Project island song
Last week and this week me and my class had to write about our Project island song trip. I chose to blog about our Project island song trip. Here is my writing.
Project island song
SPLASH!!!! The waves crashed against the boat. We lined up to get ticked off to go on the explore boat. It was yellow and not as big as the other ones. I got to give some people hand sanitizer because I didn’t get to hold a plant that we were going to plant later. When we were all on the boat we went and saw some Islands on the way.
SPLOSH! SPLASH! The waves were getting bigger and bigger until the boat leaped up into the air! SPLASH!!! We all screamed and laughed as the boat leaped over the huge cold icy waves. The boat stopped and we got to the island. We all jumped off the boat and looked at the snapper swimming all around underneath us. The seagulls dived into the water while trying to get the tiny fish but there were only huge snapper and other fish.
Beeeeeep! We all walked down the bridge and sat down at our own little tables so we could eat our morning tea. Finally we were ready to do some activities. Kyle and Zavier did paper scissor rock. Zavier won and he was in my group so we got to choose the activity we wanted to do first. We all chose trap making. We had to make a rat trap out of wood and wire. After we could take it back to our school.
Bang! Bang! We were racing to be the first one to make their rat trap. I made my rat trap with Sienna M, Stella and Laylah. But Sienna M had to go take photos of everyone else but she still helped make the rat trap. Twist! Twist! We screwed the nails in and we were done! We got to colour it in and I drew a dead rat. The others were making leaves, flowers and birds so I wanted to make a flower next to the dead rat but it looked like a bunny rat because I made the ears a bit too long.
When we were all done we had some lunch and then we had to go on a long walk to plant some trees. We walked down a huge hill and all jumped over two fences and then each group planted a tree. I planted a tree with Sienna G,
Stella and Laylah and Sienna M was taking photos so she couldn’t be in our group. We were going to walk up a giant hill but we went a different way. It was very dangerous so we had to be very careful. When we got back to the cafe we all talked and then we had to go back to school on the explore boat. But we got to feed the fish at the last second!
Finally we arrived back to school and I waited for my mum at Oscar. I had a good time.

Play make create
In Term 2 Week 2 we did Play Make Create. This is where the teacher reads you a story and you discuss the message in the story. Then you create something based on the message and also do a piece of writing. You can use materials or make a digital creation. Today we read a story called Stick and Stone and it was about friendship. I chose to build a little flag to show my friendship to my friends using sticks and stones. Here is my poem about friendship and my creation.
