Food Storage & Preservation | Work In Progress

We used the reciprocal reading process to understand the pros and cons of food storage containers.

We started to read the description of the container to do the reciprocal reading process. The reciprocal reading process helped me identify what the container's purpose is.

Once we read the text we identified the pros and cons using a T-chart. We used the images to think about the challenges and what we needed for the challenge. By doing this, we found the cons.

We then moved on to another piece of text and repeated the process.

This is a work in progress blog post.

Metaphor

Metaphors are a comparison between two things that have a similar trait.

Metaphors is a kind figurative languages. Figurative language is used to describe in a way that gives a simple property but also creates a facsinating image.

An example for a metaphor is: She is a thorn in my side. The object is the girl. The comparison is the thorn. The meaning is that someone is very annoying.

Another example for a metaphor is: The boy has a heart of a lion. The object is the boy. The comparison is the heart. The meaning is that the boy is courageous.

People can describe many different things using metaphors like: a persons voice, colours, flavours, a persons appetite, the weather, and more.

Volleyball | Interschool

On Wednesday, some students from our school went to the Barfoot & Thompson stadium to participate in the volleyball interschool with Mr Ogilvie (who organised the trip).

The year 5/6's first game was against St Pius. We tried our best but unfortunetely lost by 3-2. The year 5/6's second game was against Ruapotaka. We lost by 14-8. Our third game was against Point England. It was a very close match and we lost by 8-6. Our fourth game was against Stonefields. We lost by 15-3. Our last game was against Tamaki Primary. We fortunately won 10-8.


















The year 7/8 group one's first game was against Tamaki Primary and they fortunately won 17-12. Their second game was against Panmure District. They tried their best and they won by 30-16. Overall, they won three games and lost three games.














The year 7/8 group two's first game was against Tamaki Primary. They also tried their best but lost by 29-16. They ended up losing all of their games but still enjoyed the day.














Thank you to Mr Ogilvie for oganising the trip. I had a lot of fun. Some things I could improve on is: to get good at setting the ball, passing the ball to my team and hitting the ball over the net.
