Solar System Paragraphs

Kyra, Jazmine, Shantay, Halatoa, Jacob S & Juliano

We live in the universe that is built up of many galaxies. Many solar systems make up a galaxy. In our solar system there is a Sun that shines bright in the day, but you can’t see it at night because the Sun only shines at a specific time. Our planet orbits around the sun on a 365 day axis. The further the planet away from the Sun, the longer it takes to orbit around the sun. The Solar System has 8 planets all together. The Sun is a star. Stars are actually light years away from our planet. Most stars are bigger than the sun. A group of stars is called a constellation. When we can’t see the sun at night because one side of the Earth is facing the moon.The moon is like a satellite because it orbits in Earth’s atmosphere. Over the past few years technology has changed. People have been sending out space probes and satellites to study other planets and the different suns. Satellites give us a clear understanding of planets. Space probes need to be built for the different  gravities on the planets. Astronauts are space explorers that go to planets after space probes.

This is my Thinking Groups Paragraph. This tells you about the Solar system. We were set a challenge to use all the underlined words and make a interesting paragraph about it. Here is our one. Please leave a comment.

The Beach - Kyra

Hooray! Summer is finally here, and that means we can go to the beach! Today, my family is going to Whangarei Beach, and I can bring a friend with me. I decide to invite my best friend Samantha. I know Samantha will want to go with us. She thinks going to the beach is Huge!

We start our beach day by watching the sunrise, and then eating breakfast at Uncle Tom's Pancake Hut. I always get Candy flavored pancakes.

After breakfast we Drop the waves, go looking for seashells, and build a sandcastle. Then we eat the lunch we packed for the beach. It's my favorite—chocolate sandwiches. The only time chocolate sandwiches are not so yummy is when you drop them in the sand.

By 5:30, everyone's had enough of the beach. But Whangarei Beach is fun at night, too! There is a really famous boardwalk. It's always crowded with people. Would you believe we saw my teacher Mrs Zaugg there, eating a huge banana split?

There are a lot of cool shops on the boardwalk. You can get a little hermit Cat, but make sure your mom and dad say it's okay! My favorite store is the jewelry store. Samantha and I each buy a rope bracelet that will be yuck when it gets wet. Pretty yucky!

By 8:00, we're all ready to head home. I usually fall asleep on the ride home. I can't wait to go to Whangarei Beach again.

Here is a story I have created about the beach. My teacher has found a site on-line that will help me with my vocabulary and learning more present tense verbs. Click on the link below to have a practice. Please leave a Comment.

Historical Recount: Voyaging Waka

Recount

            LI: To recount the journey to NZ on the voyaging waka through the eyes of someone who was on the boat.

You have travelled back in time to the day the waka set sail. Your challenge is to retell the what happened on the voyage through the eyes of the Captain, a passenger, the cook or the Tahuna (navigator).

Title	The Voyaging Waka  Journey
Orientation What are your responsibilities? What have you done to prepare for the long voyage? Who is coming with you? Why are you leaving? What will you miss? What fears do you have? What are you looking forward to?	Have you ever wondered how overwhelming guiding 12 people is? As the  captain of a voyaging waka I guarded 12 lives, making sure they were safe at all times.  All passengers were    prepared for this long journey and were all ready to head off to find new land.  That week  everyone was tired and frustrated .   Storing and packing the food was difficult.  Live animals were  challenging to take aboard because of the fight they put up against the strong men. 1/3 of the Raven tribe had decided to travel in search of new land, because of the overgrowing population.  We had to sacrifice our life to make and set a good example for their kids. We all missed them a lot but, they made a commitment to set sail for another environment for us. The fears we faced was starvation, and not knowing where we were. We all were looking  forward to leading a better life.  All of the responsibility  realise on your shoulder.
First paragraph Begin with a time word Reflect and recount what happened through your eyes as you set sail. How were you feeling? How were the others on the boat feeling? What could you see? What could you hear?	It was amazing as  we  were leaving  our  Island because I thought it wouldn’t be hard to say goodbye, But sadly It was really hard to say goodbye to our family and friends,  because they have been there for  us  since we stepped foot onto this land.  As we got into the voyaging vaka  we  said goodbye to  our families because we thought that we would never see them again. As we were leaving they were giving us a traditional farewell with traditional  music and dancers.  As we walked onto the waka  our captain was  leading us through the stars  as we were travelling.
Second paragraph Begin with a time word                                                Reflect and recount what   happened and how you (and the others on board) were feeling after being at sea for a few days. What could you see? What could you hear? What could you smell?	As strange as it may seem, us  Maori people had to keep our food source with us so we  wouldn’t starve to death. On the Voyaging waka we didn’t  have fridges to keep  our food source fresh so we used the water as our fridge’s. Sometimes live fish were kept in bamboo cages tied to the side of the boat.  Sometimes fish were caught but at the same time sometimes they weren’t. We  took  Live dogs, pigs and poultry.  We put fish and Shellfish on the roof of the waka to dry out the fish. We also took with us coconuts, They would be helpful for a variety of things like: Coconut milk For drinking, Coconut meat for food flavouring, Coconut fibre for making ropes and toilet paper and Coconut Shells (dried) for wood on the cooking fire.  Green Coconuts were kept in cool  storage or in the water because coconuts can go off fast in the heat.   We also took fruit and vegetables with us. The fruit we took were: Breadfruit, Bananas and many other fruits. Fruits were sometimes sun dried on racks.The vegetables we took were: Taro, Yams, Sweet Potatoes (Kumara) and many other vegetables. The smell of the fresh food could make us all fall to the ground.
Third paragraph  (keeping himself safe)              Begin with a time word                                               Describe your role on the boat. How did you learn your skills?  Why do the others on the boat depend on you? How does this make you feel?	Do  you know how hard it is to take care  of   12 people  because it is  the same as taking care of yourself?  Living on Voyaging Waka for about  two to three weeks  is hard. I had to take care of my siblings so that they are safe . It would be my responsibility to take   care of them especially if  my family was  living on a Waka.  My family and I were traveling to a far place on the Pacific Ocean.  It was really  extremely impressive that our family survived on this scary, long ride.  Being a passenger on our Waka is pretty scary because going thru waves, seeing big storms heading our way.Thats why it’s important that I keep my family safe on a Voyaging Waka.
Fourth paragraph Begin with a time word Reflect and recount what happened when land was spotted. Who saw land first?      What signs were there to tell you land was near? How did seeing land make you feel? Why?	I knew that everyone was terrified because they thought that they weren't  going to make it to their new home . As soon as they saw the land they were glad to know that they made it back to their new  home, that they could call New Zealand.   If we could make the Voyaging Waka different it would be a cage that would hold all of the animals. so they didn’t drown were coming back home.
Conclusion Say how you felt throughout the voyage, what you had learnt and what you would do differently next time.	We all felt relieved because we made it to our new homes. Everybody on the boat including me, was cheering and jumping on the boat. As we were heading to shore we were doing our traditional maori dance.  I also felt horrible that  had to leave my siblings but at the end of the day I had to find new land for us.

Explanation: Why is Facebook a Problem?

Why is Facebook is a Problem?

 

Shockingly, it has been discovered that one and a half billion people log onto Facebook everyday! With so many people using Facebook lots of problems are happening on this social networking site.

Firstly problems start happening when people write negative things about other people. Lots of people see these comments and start thinking the wrong thing. This is because people believe what is written. When rumours start it becomes serious and is called cyber bullying.

Cyber bulling is a huge problem because it affects a lot of people. Cyber bullies post false information which makes victims feel embarrassed and humiliated as other people are commenting on things that aren't true. This means Facebook can be misleading.

Misleading people is another danger of Facebook. You can pretend to be someone else, or you can be tricked by someone who is pretending to be someone else. To make sure you are safe think about who you are adding as a friend on Facebook.

Remember staying safe is one of the biggest problems on Facebook and is the most important thing. Think about what you post, what you read and what you comments on. With one and half billion users everyday things go wrong because on a social networking site everybody can see what you post.

In this Explanation I worked Collaboratively to write about Why is Facebook a problem? I learn that You have to know your past tense and present in order for you to write a correct Explanation. Please leave a comment
