Our Visual Mihi: Group 2

Here are some more of our Visual Mihis.......

Our Visual Mihi: Group 1

Throughout this term we have been exploring ways to talk about ourselves through a mihi.  We decided to represent ourselves, people that were important to us, places that were significant and things we treasured, visually.

We were able to choose any media we liked to create symbols that represented all of the things on our posters.

Here are the posters from our first group.....

Report Writing in Pairs

For the first 3 weeks of this term we have been looking closely at good examples of reports.  We spent a lot of time identifying the structure of reports so that we could progress to writing our own.

Here is the structure of a report:

And here is how we have been practicing organizing our planning for the report:

We have chosen our partners and our topic and are in the process of writing the plan for our report.

Mrs Young has already given our mark for this project - 100%.......our challenge is to keep this mark by following the criteria for planning and writing our report......we'll keep you posted on our progress.

Here are some photos of us planning!!!

Visual Mihi

We are well on the way to creating our Visual Mihi as a poster.  We have to consider people, places and things that are important to us as well as include an image of ourselves..........we will be sure to share some of the finished ones as they are completed.

One Big Dream For the Future

The future is still far away but for this primary school student it's closer than you think. Tessa is a pupil at Koputaroa School, a little country school on your way to Foxton. She has got her whole future planned out. She would like to pursue a career in Architecture but if that doesn't work out she would like to become an Author. She wants to go to Wellington University to study. Before she begins to practice as an Architect  she has a dream of travelling the world with her best friend Leah. They will start by exploring New Zealand then work their way around the world. She can't wait to see the scenes of Italy. She will be a part time artist and would like to share her art with the world. She dreams of being an inspirational person to those she meets. She wishes to inspire them to follow their dreams and work hard to achieve them. She dreams of having 2 - 4 children and having a nice husband who has a good job and who knows how to take good care of children. She would like to experience a world where most people are nice to each other and where we all just work together to make our world a better place. '' You see now with the government why don't they just work together to make our country better than it already is instead of fighting and making their people suffer for their consequences.'' she says. She is scared that she won't be able to experience the world because it might not be there when she goes to travel; she is scared that we will all go into war again and the treasures of the world will be ruined. It was great to meet such an enthusiastic young lady who has dreams, knows what she wants and how she intends to get them. Good luck Tessa I,m sure we will be hearing about you in the future.
