Story-Starters

Story-Starters 

 Every week  Moana Learning Hub get to do story starters. They  are very interesting. A story starter is a sentence we need to use at the start of our quick write. I have found the sentence starters very interesting & fun.

 There are success criterias that we have to follow to make sure our stories are high quality, have lots of detail, have interesting & describing words, also to make sure that we include similes, nouns, adjectivesidioms, verbs, adverbs. 

I find the sentence starters very helpful to get my stories started.  Every week Moana Learning Hub need to have finished two story starters. Everytime I start a story starter I use a different sentence to start each piece of descriptive writing.  

Normally we write for twenty-five mininuts then edit for five - ten mininuts to make sure that we have got enough words and sentences in our story starters. Once we have finished both story starters we need to edit and check to make sure that we have followed the Success criteria correctly.  

Here are some slides that show what we use to start our stories and which sentence starters are used every week.

Our Own Bee Bot Instructions


                      Our Own Bee Bot Instructions


Today at school we were learning how to make your own tracks for the bee bots to travel on and take our directions.   We had koka Jo who told us how to do it and we had to use blocks to mark out the track. 

At first I found it quite hard to mark out the track.  Then after I checked my instructions and put the blocks into the spaces for the bee bots to follow it was successful! Yay!


These are my instructions for Bee-Bot to follow.


                                             What bee bots are 

 Bee bots are a robot but they are are shaped like a bee and coloured like a bee so that's why they call them bee bots.   Bee bots have little buttons on their back that you press to programme your instructions. Bee bot are very cool and interesting.  Bee bots can go right, left, straight, backwards and then you press go.   When you put bee bots on charge their eyes will become red and if it is not on charge they will be yellow.  As it is following your instructions it will beep and change colour. 


 


When you are trying to make a maze for it to follow  you have to have heaps of perseverance when it doesn't work and try again and never give up.   Kia kaha. Kia manawanui!!

Tuahine lighthouse - lead the way

                                  Tuahine lighthouse - lead the way

Our class made a lighthouse that represented Tuahine lighthouse. We each  did them on google drawings. My lighthouse was big and I had some words on it that said lead the way and that would take you to a link, that was a picture of Tuahine lighthouse. 

Lead the way was are cool meaning for me because at night the lighthouse leads the boats and shines a light to help them see their path more clearly, and if you are struggling with your work you can shine your light to lead the way to get it done. So that's why I put lead the way in my lighthouse google drawing. Click the link on my lighthouse please.
