Samoa

Beautiful Samoa…

Samoa is a country in Oceania, it is set in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Living in Samoa is very different here in NZ. For instance, some houses in Samoa live with no doors or windows How do I know this? Well I asked my grandfather for knowledge on how living in Samoa is both good or bad? Samoa is where I originate from. My mother grew up in Samoa, but my grandfather had decided to shift my family over here to New Zealand. Finding a better education for his kids, including my uncles and aunts, he has learnt to speak English fluently. Growing up in the Islands my grandfather and my grandmother owned their own shop… Explaining why they cook such delicious food. Growing up I sometimes ask myself What if I grew up in the Islands?

My Fav Sport

Here is a story about why Rugby is my favourite sport.
"Rugby gave me a confidence. I was quite shy and relatively timid, but it gave me the confidence to be a little bit more out-going and back myself a bit more."

Matariki

Matariki marks the start of a new year, 7 bright stars glow brightly over the rest, bright as the crescent shaped moon that sends beams of light drowning the darkness.

Matariki lasts for 3 days, during that time people celebrate it all over the country, fireworks attack the midnight sky, as a show to entertain people.

Maui, a Maori ancestor, named the stars “Matariki”. From then on Matariki is what we use today, after 3 days we will never see Matariki until the following year…

We wish the stairs will shine brightly again.

Here is a short story about Matariki,

Matariki resembles the start of a new year.

Summary about My name is Mina

WALT: Break down parts of the text to summarise the story

This is a summary about the book My name is Mina.

Mina is a weird, wild and creative kid. She uses her curiosity and braveness to get out of situations that are hard. But sometimes her uniqueness can get her into trouble, by reading this book you will find how different she is compared to other kids.. She is also 9 years of age. She soon leaves her school and attends Corinthian Avenue, but this story doesn't end here… Flip the next page, where imagination comes to life…  

Here is my summary about the book My name is Mina. I think this helps me to think wilder, please leave a comment!
Many thanks!

 

Key Idea Investigation

WALT: Respond to a text.

SC:I can explain and describe 1 key idea from the book My Name Is Mina.

Key Idea: Your uniqueness is your magic, and your uniqueness is something you should be proud.

Find evidence in the text showing this idea.

Chapter 1: When Mina’s class was doing a writing assessment, she was distracted by a cloud of shimmering flies. Well writing a plan before that she wrote a different story not relating to the plan, from then on she got a growling. Her response was “It didn’t want to” I think this scenario relates to the story because she has an open mindset and she is unique compared to the other kids in her class.

Chapter 2: Mina loves to climb trees, I know for a fact that she loves mother nature, I think this relates to my idea because I think most kids in her class don’t usually like being outside, they are lazy and unenergetic. So this is something she should be proud of, her uniqueness.

Chapter 3: Mina likes to write stories of myth and legend characters, she writes stories of “Mina in the Underworld” her characters are Orpheus, Persephone, and Pluto. I think this relates to my idea because not many kids write stories about myth and legend characters. And she is also a very creative kid, she is also uses her imagination.

Here is my investigation about 1 key idea from the book My Name Is Mina, We have read 16 chapters, It was a long time but I have learnt a thing or two... Please leave a comment!
