My group were doing the raft building first we had to work as a team Nathan told us how to do a note. Next was talking together on how to make the raft. After all that work our raft was a square shape and we used theese plastic bottle on each sides. Then we tied the bamboo sticks to make a base to where we sit on. It was heavy to carry to the water but luckily we made it. All of us were on it until.. one of us fel swaying away far far away. Then one of the sticks came loose so the raft was on a angle felt like we were sinking. After a few minutes of struggling we had to go back to shore. Most of us were doing the oppsite way so that mean’t we were going the wrong way. Evenly we made it to shore where we took a break and had cookies it was so yum that i’m craving it right now! and a apple !!

I learnt how to do haiku with 2 verses . You may be wondering what is a haiku? Haiku is a poem that has syllables and goes by 5 , 7 , 5

Frezzing cold like ice

As the cold wind is howling

Snow flake falling down

Winter is here soon

Hot chocolate by the fire

Sleeping while trembling

The things I enjoyed in term 3 was going to tournaments and going to museum and art gallery, learning about the New Zealand history. I also enjoyed playing Kelly sports, learning new things like onomatopoeia and many more.

The things I didn’t like in term 3 was when we work as a group they just sit there and look at them working. As well as when my friends talk to much and have to move.

WALT – I am learning to write a poem using literary devices

The wind going pass fast like a cheetah

A girl walking in the coldness

As the rain pour down  she shivers as she walk

Seeing a couple having a pinic  until all the food flies away
