William Pike Challenge

William Pike Challenge

2 or 3 weeks ago, Rimu made very yummy food for Meet the teacher with William Pike and Parents.

William Pike has a really cool story about his life! I was really looking forward to the surfing and I loved it. I think I might take up swimming and gym tumbling.

First Person Point of View

Last week, our writing task was to write a short essay about the book "Wonder". We had to find 2-3 examples about 1st person.

This story is written in the first person because at the start of the story when August is introducing himself he says,

“I know I’m not an ordinary ten-year-old kid.”

Firstly, Palacio uses first person point of the view in the chapter ’Christopher’s House’. For example, 

”I was really bummed when Christopher moved away three years ago.”

This story is written in the first person because at the start of the story when August is introducing himself he says,

“I know I’m not an ordinary ten-year-old kid.”

Furthermore, we can see how first person has been used in when Mum is telling the story about how I was born. For example,

“I like when Mom tells this story because it make me laugh so much.”

So ‘Wonder’ is written in the first person point of view.

MihiMihi

In the first two week of school, Rimu class learnt how to make mihi and to sign.

This is our introduction to our class and community.

1. A self portrait or a photo
2. Places of significance to us
3. Symbols or pictures that represent our culture

That was so long to make mihi and it little hard to make mihi and it took one week!

My Genius Hour!

My NZ Artist

I chose my artist because he has cool and colourful artwork. I think it is important for kids to learn about colours and which colours match. We need to look at Artist's and learn like they do. I feel excited when I look at Art I like, so Artist's are good for people and how they feel. 

Children shouldn't have homework!

I chose 'Children shouldn't have homework' because I dislike homework so I think it is a cool topic to sign. I hope Miss Blair will never give me homework again.

One thing I did well is look at my audience while I was signing. If I did it again I would practice more signing.
