Quick Write Number One - The Beekeeper

For the next two weeks we are going to work on ‘Quick Writes.’  This is where you are given something to write about (a writing prompt) and you only have 10mins to write as much as possible using this writing prompt.

For our writing prompts we will use either images or short videos.

The purpose of this is to practise writing fluently.

When we look at our writing prompt we will have about 10-15 mins to discuss it and brainstorm some ideas and vocabulary.   

Our learning goals are to:

-write a description, using powerful words and phrases

-include some Te Reo Māori

-carefully check that our sentences make sense and have correct punctuation and spelling.

When we are writing we need to think about…

1)What do I want my reader to see? 2) What do I want my reader to hear? 3) What do I want my reader to smell? Tips:

-look closely at the picture or video

-think about the three key questions and the learning goals

-give yourself time to plan and write

The Beekeeper

Looks like a gentle beekeeper being gentle with a bee hive.

Looks like a bunch of bees buzzing around everywhere.

Sounds like a bunch of flies trying to go straight through the window.

It smells almost like a honey jar that had just been finished.

Maui Legends

As part of Matariki we re-read the legends of Maui. We then retold a legend and created artwork. Below is my work.

Thousands of years ago there was a Māori legend about Maui's fish. That’s what we will be telling you about today. Once Maui wanted to go fishing with his brothers but his brothers wouldn't let him. They were saying stuff like your too small and you can’t even catch a little trout. Maui was annoyed so he made a decision to hide in his brother’s boat before they set out to sea. When they set out to sea, Maui jumped out of the boat and started to fish with his brothers in surprise.

Maui caught something very big, bigger than you could imagine. Maui kept trying to reel it in, he finally brought it up. Yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay they all yelled. They had fished up the North Island which is actually a massive fish. Then they saw a massive storm coming. They jumped over so many waves until a tsunami came and smashed the boat. Eventually the boat became the South Island.
