Lures

Task Description: What we did was reading a lot of articals and I mean a lot. Once we understood what each of them meant then we could start this presentation. We had to do 2 paragraphs explaining what a lure is. Then we moved on to the next slide which showed what fish prey was and what it would arttact to. 

Maori fishing techniques

Walt: synthesise information from across multiple texts.

Task Description: What I had to do was read articals that was all about maori and fishing tools. Once we finished reading those articals. Then we started the presentation. We also had to follow the instruction that was on the presentation, but we had to delete because we wouldn't want to show anybody our instruction. Hope you enjoy!

Eating crickets at school!

Walt: write narrative using descriptive language.

Have you ever tasted dead crickets at school before? When our class sat on the mat. Our teacher showed us a video of a girl eating crickets. I was so confused that I said to my friend “ did our teacher have too much coffee or what!”. I haven’t did this before, but maybe it might be as easy as it looks.  

When the video was done it was time to eat the crickets. As My teacher came around tipping the disgusting looking crickets. I was so scared to even touch it, but it was time I picked one up before anyone even touched it. Then I gave it a go I was absolutely petrified, But then I had a few more it was still yuck. The weird thing was I ate 12 crickets!

I am so happy that it is over. If I had to do that again I am pretty sure I could be confident, but I wouldn't do it if I had to eat a handful. Funny and weird thing to say, I wouldn't mind doing it again.

Task Description: What we had to do was just get straight into it. We watched a video about a girl eat 3 crickets Alive!. Lucky our one was dead. But I am so happy that it is over. 

My own food web

Walt: make connections across multiple texts.

This is my food web. It is not a spider web with bugs on it. IA food web can be made by anyone but this is created by me. My food web only has native NZ insects/bugs. The food web is about what the insects/bug eats and I also made my own Arachnida and My own bug. I called my Arachnida ( Spider ) The Imitation sicronym. I also gave a name to my bug which was a butterfly it’s name was Cradashia. My spider jumping and it can pretend to be something so it can eat it’s prey. The butterfly is a normal butterfly but when it turns red it is a warning. When it turns orange  then it means it is scared. So my food web has different kind of animals, bugs or insects. It also has birds and fishes.

Task Description: My task was to make my own food web but the was the animals were only allowed to be native in NZ bugs, Insects or even animals. I had to write a doc about what a food web is. I also had to talk about my bug and insect that I made. Go check my blog post out about my own bug and insect. Hope you enjoy my food web!

Who will win?

Walt: make connections across multiple texts.

There was once a Beautiful scaled butterfly. The reason why it is called the scaled butterfly is because it has scales and when enemies come near it it can turn red and push it scales out to scare it away. For a butterfly it is really easy to find food because this butterfly lives in the forest where there are a lot of plants.

On that day The butterfly landed on a flower to suck some delicious nectar out of the beautiful flower. Suddenly a horrible disgusting looking jumping spider came. It pretended to be a flower it’s name was imitation sicronym. It’s name sounds so harmless  but it is really tricky it has eaten a lot of insect then you think. As the butterfly comes near imitation sicronym a giant grasshopper jumps in. It grabs the butterfly's body and eat it all up with the wings left out.

The spider tries to escape but it was too late. The grasshopper leaps over with it’s long legs and grabs the imitation sicronym before it was too late. Then the Grasshopper ate it with tiredness. The grasshopper was the only one to live.

Task Description: My task for this was to make my own insect and bug. Once again if you don't I made a blog post about my own bug and insect. Go check it out if you would like. I had to make a story about who will be destroyed and who will survive? Find out if you want know more.

Bug descriptions

Walt: use different vocabulary in our writing. 

Task Description: What we did first was read articles and watch videos about our bugs. Then we had to write things about it and describe about what our bug looked like and what they do. And finished it off.

Wetas

I invented a new insect

A Cradashia is very easy to attack people. In many ways if you touch it in a hard way it will turn orange and that is how you know it is scared. If you try to kill it it will turn red and attack butterflies may be harmless but this one isn’t. It lives in cold places with trees.  As you know already it is sometimes gentle but at other times it can get really angry easily.

Birds

Walt: make connections across multiple texts.

Task Description: Doing this was really interesting and I found out more about these birds. The bird that I really liked was the silver eyed bird. Why? Well it is because it is so cute and It is known as a New Zealand bird. So I could find it if I am on a forest trip or something. Hope you enjoy!

About I macs

Walt: follow instructions and present work to a high standard.

Task Description: This is my presentation about I Macs. Which is my group for this year. I macs could help you with a lot of thing if you have no phone or any other device not including I macs you could just go on  a I mac and it would help you out.
