My 2 Book Review

Hi everyone, today I will be doing a Book Review of the book called DorkDairies TV Star.

This is going to be my second book review.

It all starts when Nikki Maxwell gets a offer to be a TV star but it isn't going to be easy.

The camera crew keeps following her around home, school and going into her private space.

Nikki Maxwell also gets to go skiing. She has a lot of fun until. . . Someone pushs her down the cliff. She falls and falls until she starts doing really weird gymnastics moves.

At the end she wins the award and one of her meanest friends gets really angry.

Now, do I suggeste you reading it? Well, yes. It is a #oresome book to read.

Thank you for coming in and reading my blog post for Week 9.

Speech for Jahnavi

Speech for Jahnavi

So, on the 7th of September 2015, a lucky student from our school went to Papatoetoe North School.

It took about 15 mins to get there and also 15 mins to come back to school.

Jahnavi was so scared. I saw her legs wobble because she was that scared.

She had to go head to head with 11 other schools and many teachers and parents looking at her.

Mr McNeil, Anjli, Taanvi and I were sitting on the chairs waiting for Jahnavi to have her turn.

At the end of everything, we got to know all of the people that came in places.

The first place went to a speech about Teaching your parents how to use a Smart Phone.

The second place went to a speech about laughter and the third speech went to a speech about robots.

I'm really proud of Jahnavi for at least coming to the speech finals!!

Well Done!!!

Jasmine, Neha & Jahnavi - Author's Purpose Learning Story

Learners: Jahnavi, Neha & Jasmine    Learning Coach: T.Dillner           Date: 3.9.15

Learning Area: Literacy - Author’s Purpose

Learning Observed

Jahnavi, Neha and Jasmine attended a literacy workshop which was aimed at one of the Learning Progressions that each learner has on their Learning Pathway. We were looking specifically at how an author might use features on the cover and spine, in the blurb and in the text. The learners had to work together to analyse a text and identify why the author included these features and what they told the viewer about the text. Jahnavi, Neha and Jasmine worked as a group on a variety of novels, connecting how the author may have used features that were the same or different on each text. They showed an increased capability in this when talking together about how the cover image, title, blurb and first page gave an idea of the theme and the author’s purpose. As they collaborated, each of the girls were able to extend their own knowledge by building on it with the ideas of the other group members.

Evidence of learning

Next Learning Steps

Finish a Best Fit Novel and analyse the Author’s Purpose after reading the entire book. Record this analysis either in writing, video or audio. Upload this as evidence in their Literacy Learning Pathways.

Create a Habitat

Create a Habitat

So, in the past weeks, LH1 students have been planning and creating a habitat for a animal.

I was in the Make It group. I worked with Vristhi and Jahnavi for our habitat. Our animal was a Bat.

Firstly, we had to choose, if we were working by ourselves or with a group. I decided to work with a group since the word Collabaortive was our main word for Term 3.

Vristhi and I first searched up facts about Bats. The kind of bats we were doing were Fruit Bats. Vristhi and I then wrote all of our information on our fact file which is a sheet of paper that we write on about our animal which helps us with our habitat.

We also drew our plan of our habitat and wrote down our things that we needed to bring or buy.

Jahnavi then came to LH1. She was the newest student here and Vristhi and I asked Mrs Dillner if she could join our group for making our habitat. We explained everything to her and told her what we were up to.

We then started painting our box and started making our tree. We also painted the tree brown and added pieces of green paper and hot glued it on the top of our weird looking tree. We then glued the tree into the bow and we then started making some fruit out of clay but they didn't turn out so good. We then just decided to use form and cut out shapes for the fruit and paint then. We made a cave out of cardboard and put it into the box near the tree and painted it brown and we dried brush it black and silver. It looked really cool!. We lastly made a mini pond by cutting a weird shape out of the form and painted it light blue and added a hint of white and dark blue.

We dried brushed the outside of the box with brown but it looked weird, We just ticked with it anyway.

Jahnavi made a cute little bat out of pipe-cleaners and we painted it black. and we hot glued it onto the part sticking out which is for the bat to hang on.

On Monday, Week 7, some of us presented out habitat while the others went around with post-its that they had to write and give to the presenter.

I was with Sanyia!!

I'm really proud of the people that made their habitats in time!!

Book Review (Geronimo Stilton, Cave Mice, Help, I'm In Hot Lava)

Hi everyone, my name is Jasmine and today I will be doing a Book Review on Geronimo Stilton Help, I'm in Hot Lava.

This book is from the Cave Mice series.

So, this book is mostly about Geronimo, but in this case, Geronimo Stiltonoot, going to Cheesey-La. Geronimo doesn't want to go because he thinks that Cheesey-La isn't real.

What I learnt is that you should go anywhere you haven't heard of before being you never know what may make you happy or interested in. So, just remember that just go where your parents want you go because you may never know what might interest you.

So, thank you for reading my Book Review for this week and I do say that you should read this book. It is a really cool book and you may learn something from this.
