Hanging up Koinobori!

Hello world.

Koinobori is a fish made out of fabric that you hang up on a high pole or tree.

Koinobori is a Japanese tradition for boys on the 5th of May every year. We have four different kinds of fish because we are a family of four, it depends how many people are in your family. They're not real fish.

They are very beautiful and your Neighbors are very happy when they see it, well most of the time. The child fish is about 150 cm tall and the color is blue. The mother fish is about 3m tall and it is orange, the father fish is about 4.5m tall and the color is gray, we hang them up because we wish for children to grow strong and healthy like the fish are swimming strongly in the sky.

We usually hang them up Poles but we don’t have enough space to put a pole so we decided to put them on our tree. Not many people in New Zealand know much about it, because this is Japanese tradition.

Do you think they will be for girls as well some day?

Acorns VS leaves!

One fateful day there was an acorn. That acorn made a lot of Acorn friends and made more and more. Then made a big family. But then it was  and the leaves came  / bad guys. All the leaves were trying to invade the acorns. So all the time they were trying to make a secret base so then the leaves will not know where they are. They built it under-ground. But one day there were a lot of grads rushing through the acorn village. One grade was walking to an acorn hut but that leaf fell into a hole and that led to the secret base. All the leafs crowded the hole and said that it is the acorn's secret base. All the acorns were scared. One of them said a leaf. But the acorn army came and ripped the leaf. But more and more came on and some could not survive. Only 30 could survive.  The leader's name is Jonathan. It went on for generations and generations. So they all tried to get revenge. All of them. Cut some wood and make a new village under water so then the leaves will float so that is what they did. (the king leaf) hurry up we have no time, we need to find those acorns and crush them like a little weak stick. So the acorns were going as fast as they could to stop the king leaf from wiping them. Back to the leaves, they were staying under water till they could make a n army of acorns. “So much that they will cry”. A few weeks  later, (king Acorn) “Go Go Go! Come on  we don't have enough time the ship will collapse”. Luckily they all escaped. But some of their guns were gone. So they copped some wood to fight the leaves

if you like this story you can get an acorn and a leaf and make them fight like the story!

How is popcorn made

 How is popcorn made?

First, you get the corn and dry it so you can actually turn it into corn that can turn into popcorn, When the kernel heats up you can put in the corn in, that makes it pop. Secondly, when the popcorn is in the kernel it starts to expand while it is expanding they put flavor. There are several different kinds of popcorn. Then, after three to five minutes you put a little oil on it. A microwave is like a kernel. It does the same thing as the kernel but it comes in a bag that you can just put the whole bag in the microwave. The popcorn bag is made from laminated paper.

Writing

Hello today this week we learned how to write a narrative.
The one highlighted in yellow is what I did.

Using your new knowledge of noun groups (adjectives & nouns), text connectives

(pronouns & time connectives) & interesting verbs & adverbs, fix up the following

sentences. 

Remember: 

Adjective - describing word i.e. beautiful

Noun - naming word i.e. cat

Pronoun - replaces a noun in a sentence i.e. he, she, I

Time connective - joins sentences & phrases together i.e. firstly, meanwhile, next

Verb - doing word i.e. running, biking

Adverb - word that modifies a verb i.e. she swam quickly 

You may find it useful to use a thesaurus to find new words.  

Using your new knowledge of these written features, transform 3 of these sentences. 

The pup lay on the snow. She looked at the water. It was a sunny day. It was cold.

The fluffy chubby white pup relaxes nicely on the shivering snow. She gazed and the

sparkling clear water. It was a beautiful bright sunny day. It was shivering cold like 10,000 ice

cubes covering your whole body.

The vehicle went across the road. There was a car waiting to cross.

Bright pink giant truck ZOOMED past the ruff bumpy road. There was a wide thick vehicle

waiting for it's time to cross.

The crow flew across the sky. It had wings and a beak.

The fluffy black dark Crow sword as quick as a jet plane. It had gigantic wings & a sharp pointy beak.

The bird flew across the sky. It had big wings and yellow eyes. It saw something, and went down

towards the ground.

The bird dived through the bright blue sky. It had enormous wings and a devil looking dark

yellow eyes. It quietly stared at something, and dived down towards the flat ground.

A tentacle came out of the water. The creature had a big head and big eyes.

The Tentacle bursted out of the cold shivering water. The strange-looking creature had

a ginormous head and thick eyes.

Create Task: Use the one of the following pobble prompts, to write a short paragraph ( 7-8 sentences) using your new understanding of written narrative features. 

Start writing below

  

Jim the chubby seal!

One bright gloomy day, There was a seal as chubby as me. The seal named himself Jim. He loved licking slithery slimy fish. The seal lived in a cold shivery place, On the white icy snow. He had one mortal enemy. The dark killer whale. He has not seen him in 3 months. He was having a great time without her but then suddenly He came. You're probably wondering who was the person who came. It was the dark killer whale. It’s black as a solar eclipse. She wanted to call for help so she got the telephone and called the penguins. They came in a jif and peaked them with their pointy beaks. The dark killer whale. Ran away as fast as she could.

fun fact: seals can stay underwater for 30 minutes.
