Tawa @ Ngatea Primary School

This week I did my six mangahigh medals and did my read theory and my word of the weeks and I finished our silhouette.

Plus: I have done most of my work this week. Plus: I have completed a milestone and almost finished another one. Minus: I don't know

The main character was Tana who was dark skin dark hair, dark eyes and a medium sized height and size and wore a big coat and had big heavy boots. He was fearless and didn't mind a challenge. He was interested in frogs because he thought they were extinct.

Summariser W.A.L.T-Summarise the main parts of the text using detail and including key words. Your job is to prepare a brief summary about your comic. Summary: Tana tries to get some valuable things from the mutts and he had to cross a wooden plank for a bridge he found a tool box to sell to buy some food for him and then he found frogs which were apparently extinct but he found some and he couldn’t save them and bring them back with him so he went to leave and the wood plank bridge was gone and the mutts captured him and took the stuff off him and asked him if he was hiding anything and he said no s and the mutts knew he was lying so them tied him to a car for a consequence.   Key Points from the comic: 1.Frogs 2.The Mutts 3.Money

Maori Proverb Find a Maori Proverb and explain how or why it connects to the comic you are reading. Proverb: Ehara taku toa, he takitahi, he toa takitini How it connects to your comic: Tane’s teacher helped him so it wasn’t a individual job.

Comic Questions Answer these questions about your comic, giving as much detail as possible. What is the message in your story? Don’t take a bad risk that will make your situation worse. What was your favourite part in the story and why?When he doesn't spill the beans and the frogs stay alive. How did you feel about the ending to your story and why?It was boring because it just finished and we didn’t know what happened to him. Why do you think people write comics?Because they are short so you don’t have to write much and you already know what the story line is. If you could change one thing about your comic what would it be and why? Make it longer and a better ending because it didn’t really get enough information out to make it a good story.

This week I have done all the main things and this is the last thing I really need to do and I have just started on my comic book and have done one of the tasks for it.

Yesterday day we had athletics and it was really hot and I didn't wear sun screen and through our the day I forgot to put it on. Our first thing was high jump which was my favourite but it took too long so we had to do it later. Then we had the races which I don't really like and I didn't really like anything else but when we finished high jump I came second and Valentino came first. We jumped the same height but he got it on his first go.

It was hard to get all the work finished this week because I had my IE and the creation was hard and every time I tested it I had to remake it and I made it three times. I finished read theory and then on Thursday we rode the go kart because we haven't rid it in ages.

This week I haven't had much time to do anything because of labour weekend and calf club. But yesterday I did all the fun activities.

This week I have been doing some stuff for my IE creation and my presentation, I have done both of my blog posts and not yet to do my read theory. We did two sessions of PE this week for athletics.

My sister is almost 2 and she has brown eyes with and dark hair, she has tan skin and she can talk heaps and count to ten in two different languages. She has a nap at about 2 or 3 in the afternoon and by far her favourite show is The Wiggles and she went to see then in Hamilton. Her favourite food is rice and Chinese food. This is my little sister I spent most of my time in the holidays with her, I stayed with her for most of the time during the holidays.

My three favourite experiences of the term was PE Listening to music because I was in Tuakana Reading War Horse  This term I've learned heaps of things about clean water because I've been doing it for my IE. Something I would change is to have more PE. My goal for next term is to do all of my milestones.

I made my own pet fish and his name is Magulbob and he has that name from when he was swimming in the ocean and he went up to the surface and a lighting bolt almost hit him and he said some crazy stuff around his friends with his Aussie accent and he said magulbob in stead of lighting bolt.
