About David Hill

For Literacy Medals, we had to write about the author of the novel we were reading for Literacy Medals. It was hard because I didn't know much about him and there weren't many things I could find about him. My favourite part was looking at the book he had written because one of the books was called "The Games of Nanny Miro", and my name is Miro. To be BTB, I could have found out a bit more facts about him.

Word of the Week: Ascending!

This is the Word of the Week for this week. It is Ascending. It is a verb, and it means to climb up or get better. Its antonym is descending. 

My favorite part was finding a picture, because some of them were funny, like a courtroom, or someone in space. The hardest part was thinking of a sentence for the word. To be BTB, I could have elaborated a bit more on the sentence.

My Brother's war: Activity one.

This is the first activity about the novel we are reading. We had to read the back, the sleeve if it had one and the cover to try and predict what the book would be about. The underlined text is what the book says. 

I enjoyed this activity because we got to try and guess what the book was about. It was fun because I might be horribly wrong. The hardest part was actually writing down what I thought it might be about because I can't write what the book already says. To be BTB, I could have made it a bit clearer.

The New Zealand Wars Timeline

This week and last week we have been doing a timeline about the New Zealand Wars. It was very hard because I had to put in the macrons and correct spelling in Māori. Some of the spelling and macrons are probably still not correct. Sorry. My favorite part was putting in the backgrounds and layouts. To be BTB, I could have put in the whole timeline all the way to where we are now. 

Obnoxious Word of the Week

Word of the Week-Ominously

This is my Word of the Week. This week's word is Ominously. The teacher got it when she was reading our book 'The Lake of Tears".
I enjoyed finding the picture of the word because there were some really cool pictures. The hardest part was finding antonyms because I couldn't think of any.

Where the Mountain meets the Moon - Book report

This is my book report about 'Where the Mountain meets the Moon'. I had to do it for Literacy medals. I chose this book because I read it a lot and because it is a good book. I really like it. My favorite part of the activity was looking for pictures in the book because they are really cool. The hardest part of the activity was finding out the name for the wishing tree because I thought it was something totally different. To be BTB, I could have written more about why I liked the book.
