This week for writing we wrote abstract noun poems in pairs. We were learning about abstract noun. abstract noun our something that exists but cannot be touched. Our abstract noun poem was about Peace. An abstract noun includes the 5 senses (Touch/ feel, taste, hear, see and smell), punctuation ( Capital letters, .), complex sentences, metaphors and similes After we finished writing our poems we used the DRAFT (Delete, Rearrange, Add, Fix, Talk)  process to check our poem with draft we can make correct errors in our writing.

Sadness

  LI: To write an abstract noun senses poem.

For our writing task this week we are working on poems and metaphors. Our metaphor poem was about sadness. A metaphor is describing something as something else without using “like” or “as.” an abstract noun is a noun describing an idea, for example see, taste, feel, smell and hear. We  worked on this task as a group. After coming up with our poem we create a DLO.

This task was fun because we learned how much creativity we have.

Being a Jedi in Coding

 

LI: To code the robot to move backward without touching it.

Today at Tamaki College the year 8's started to do robotics. In robotics, we focused on using sensors by using the force. We first learnt about ultrasonic, which means sound waves that can't be heard by people. Once we learnt about ultrasonic, we started coding our m-bots on m-block to sense our hand, so it goes the other way. When we did our codes, we wrote the input, algorithm, and output of our code on a google slide and included a video showing our m-bots sensing our hand.

Cinquain Poem

 LI: To write a cinquain poem to describe a sports star

We have been learning to write cinquain poems to help us strengthen our connections to description. A cinquain poem has 5 lines. Each line has a different purpose. Line 1 is a noun which is a name. Line 2 has 2 adjectives taht describe the noun. Line 3 has 3 verbs that end in ‘ing’ and describe the actions. Line 4 is a noun phrase which is a group of words (not a sentence) that go together to describe the noun. Line 5 is a synonym which is a word with a similar meaning to the noun.

I enjoyed this activity because i could describe the prson who you are wirting about.
