In Te Ngahere we have been doing writing. I learnt what timeless present tense, action verbs, cause and effect words, rhetorical questions, objective / reasoned tone, passive voice, and nominalisation are. I am blogging about this so I could get your feedback so I can fix what I need to.  Here is my writing . My class and I have been writing about the Paihia School pump track. We have written why it’s important to our community.

Swim Safe

In Te Ngahere a lady named Tracy came to our school to teach us about water safety. She told us the five rules to keep safe on the ocean, Rule one always wear a life jacket when your on boat. Rule two tell someone where you're going and what time you will be back so they know that you're safe. Rule three check the weather so you know the sea is safe. Rule four put your safety first that means if someone is in trouble don't just and save them so you don't get heart. The last rule is have a emergency beacon radio and a play a flare. What I learnt from Tracy was your life is worth everything.

Steam challenge

In Te Ngahere we did a Steam challenge. We were learning to make a free standing object out of two sheets of newspaper and tape that was 30 cm. It was a challenge to build the tallest newspaper tower. It was really frustrating to make the tower stand. I paired up in a group of three .Their names were Dayton and MIkaire. The tower didn't stand properly because the base was scrunched so Dayton tried to put his hand through the base so it could stand straight; we finally made it stand. The highest for our tower was 1m. We nearly won but we came 3rd. The people who came first were Zhynaliyah and Emma .Second place was Franky, Imogen and Mark. We lost but we still had fun.
