My Goals For Term One

            This is my presentation about my goals for term one.

The Boy And The Tree

WALT - plan a piece of Descriptive writing using our 5 senses:

See:  What is this boy looking at?  Who or what is looking at him?  What can you see? grass swaying from side to side. antelope running passed him Squirrels sleeping insects eating of the juicy leaves.

Hear:  What might this boy be able to hear? antelopes hooves  breaking upon the ground. insects munching upon the leaves. sound of the wind whistling in his ears. sound of a tiger roaring 100 metres away.

Smell:  What might this boy be able to smell?   What does the tree smell like?   What does the air smell like?   What does the boy smell like? smelly breath of the lion smell of fear smell the old trees bark smell the juicy leaves

Taste:  What might this boy be able to taste? dirt as the antelopes galloped by bark on the tree spit of the snoring squirrel Fresh air

Feel:  What does the tree feel like underneath his fingertips?  How does the ground feel underneath his feet?  What does the air feel like?  How is he feeling on the inside? roughness on the tree ground shaking spikiness of the ground coldness of the air

WALT - craft a piece of descriptive writing using our plans.

Begin crafting your description :




He gazed at the  antelope running past as he held tightly on the tree. He inspected the squirrels sleeping nice and                                       comfortably up in the tree, insects eating all of the juicy leaves.

He could hear the antelopes hooves breaking upon the ground. He could hear the insects munching upon the leaves. He liked the sound of the wind whistling in his ears. He noticed  the  sound of a lion roaring 100 metres away.

He could smell the smelly breath of the lion. He could smell the old tree bark. He was smelling the juicy leaves.

He could taste the unpleasant dirt as the wind blew it towards his face.He could taste the bark on the tree. He could taste the spit of the snoring squirrel. He liked the taste of the fresh air blowing towards his mouth.

He did not like the feeling of  the roughness on the tree. He could feel the ground shaking extremely out of control. He felt the spikiness of the grass. He could feel the coldness of the air.

Ready to leap −

Safety Pin:

Closed, it sleeps
On its side
Quietly,
The silver
Image
Of some
Small fish;

Opened, it snaps
Its tail out
Like a thin
Shrimp, and looks
At the sharp
Point with a
Surprised eye.

In the early evening,
I see a big red lion
with its eyes shining yellow.

It prowls for ages along the
road
and only stops to drink at
Caltex.

I can hear it roar.

Individual Description

Kia Ora, my name is Taylor.  I am a really kind and loyal kid that goes Tamaki Primary School. I have brownish, blackish hair, light brown skin, brown eyes and I have a really tall body. I was born in Auckland, New Zealand at Auckland Hospital. I moved to Fiji when I was 4 weeks old and I lived with my Grandfather and my Nanna. At the moment I live with my sister, my Mum, my cousin, my Grandfather and my Nanna.

My family is like the worlds best family . My brothers are cheeky monkeys because they always tease my Mum. I like my family because some of them give me heaps money, some of my family cares about me a lot and some of my family miss
me. My family is one of the most funkiest families out.

I actually come from two sides of the community. One of them is Fiji. Fiji is one of the hottest islands in the pacific. I usually go visit Fiji a lot because some of my relatives live there. One thing I like about Fiji is the tropical fruits and the light blue beaches. The other part of the community I come from is New Zealand. New Zealand is really cold compared to Fiji. I like New Zealand because it has a lot of nature and a lot of native birds.

One of my favorite things to do in life is to play around and eat chocolate. My favorite sport is rugby because it is really fun. I like my culture because it is really tropical and I always like to go to  the beach.

One of my hopes this year at Tamaki Primary is is to go over the National Standards so I can reach my goal of being a really good pilot. One of my fears this year is the e-asttle test because if I do not pass I will not achieve my goal.
