What 2d shape am I?


In He Puna Tarei we have been learning about how to describe shapes. We had to make sure that we wrote down at least 5 different sentences. Here is my work - can you guess what shape I am?

Puanga star

Last week He Puna Tarei made Puanga stars. We had to decorate the star with ngtu kaka, mangopare and koru pattens. We had to trace our stars on a black piece of paper.  Then around the pencil tracing we had to write what we are thankful for in silver shapie. Then we glued the puanga star onto the black paper. Finally we had to go around the star with chalk and if we wanted to we could go around the border with chalk.

My wildself


Hi my name is Wild Grace. One day I woke up in a cave. I really wanted to go home. I went to cover my ears and the felt fluffly. They felt like polarbear ears. I was freaked out. Ahhhh I screamed. I looked down and I saw a tiger tail. I was scared. I looked behind me and I had monarch butterfly wings, that is weird. I had turned into a Lun-pol-fly-tiger. I thought I was never going to turn back to my normal self. I was scared. The next day when I woke up I was back at home and I was back as my normal self. Thank goodness!!

How a volcano is fromed


L.I Can I organize the way I structure my writing so it fits the type of writing I am doing?


How a volcano is formed. 

A volcano is a hill or a mountain with a crater that lava, rock, ash and gas come out. A volcano is formed when tectonic plates push together and make a weak spot. The magma shot's out when the pressure in the  magma chamber gets huge.  The pressure forces the magma to shoot out of the  main vent. Some of the magma comes out of the secondary vent. When the lava cools down it turns into hard rock. The rock builds up over millions of years to make a volcano.
