Hi everyone, this week in reading I (and my reading group) made slideshows about why we should eat less meat (with a few facts as well 😊). It was a pretty easy process, I you enjoy the slide ✌:
I am a Year 6 student in the Uru Mānuka Cluster. My teacher is Mrs Jones. This is a place where I will share my learning. Please note that some of it will not be complete, it will be my first drafts. Remember to be positive, thoughtful and helpful when you leave me a comment.

Writing - Describe a Moment in Time
Hi everyone, this week we did a describe a moment in time writing. Describe a moment in time writings are different and unique cause instead of just free-writing we have to have the writing in present tense and we must not say I or name the character cause you're not in the writing and you don't know the person in the writing. We have been doing these writings cause we are doing a writing test about describing a moment in time, so we have to get ready 😁. Anyway, here is my writing:

Writing - Metaphors
Kia Ora everyone, today at writing we learned about metaphors. We learned that metaphors are a figure of speech that describes an object. And, we also learned how to tell the difference between metaphors and similes. Similes are sentences that compare things with other things using 'as' and 'like', like: the sun is like a light-bulb in the sky. But metaphors are sentences that describe things using 'is', 'was', 'were', and 'are', like: Your room is a pigsty. Anyways, here is my work that I did today ✌.

Hi everyone, today in reading we were discussing if we should eat less meat. And we got 2 different sides from this.
Writing - Similes

If you don't know what similes are, then they are like describing something using a different word, and, it is only a simile if it has like or as in it. An example is lie: As fast as lightning. Today we also did a google doc sheet to fill in. Here it is 👇:
