Dialogue

Dialogue is a writing style particularly focused in writing conversations

Here is a photo and under is an example of dialogue 

“Why did I agree to do this?” Gerald wailed, “You should’ve brought Janet instead!”

“I probably should’ve brought Janet, she would be screaming way less than you right now!” Semira sneered.

“Well, if I die it's your fault!” Gerald bellowed.

“You’re not gonna die you big baby!” Semira asserted, “Look, we’re almost down!”

“This is it, I’m gonna die!” Gerald cried “I love you mom, I love you dad!”

“Gerald you’re not gonna die!” Semira exclaimed

Dialogue uses speech marks that sit on both sides of the text that a character is speaking.

You must place a piece of punctuation at the end of your dialogue

Example :

"Go away" Sarah cried ❌

Or

"Go away!" Sarah cried ✅

The piece of punctuation has to sit inside the ending speech mark

If you have no need for a question mark or exclamation

mark then you can just use a comma

Example :

"Thank you," Jenna replied

Narrative Writing

Hi I'm Shanaya and this is my first blog post for 2021. I'm a year 6 at Kawakawa primary school. We have been learning about narrative writing and have also been creating some of our own narratives. We first watched 2 mini movies called "The Snack Attack" and "The Present" and then we picked one to write a narrative about. I chose the Snack attack.

 

Te huarere

 Hey Bloggers

This is my fourth task for the summer learning journey. Our task was to fill out this slide and create a video includingn the phrase we had to learn but I couldn't get to the video part.

  

I found this task very simple

My next step would be to make the video

Pigpen Cipher

 Hi Bloggers, 

This is my 3rd task for the summer learning journey. For this task we had to read and create our own ciphers. I dont very much enjoy going to beaches so I just used the beach I have been too most.

I found this task a bit difficult to compose a clue and figure out how to cipher worked

My next step would be to use a more difficult to find beach

Can you guess what beach this is ?

What are you doing today? (Te reo maori)

 Hey Bloggers

This is my second task for the summer learning journey our task was to fill out this slideshow about the te reo maori question "What are you doing today?" 

This is my slideshow ⬇️

I found this task easy as they straightfowardly displayed the amount of information on the slide for us to understand.

My next step would be to learn a more complex te reo sentence

Sincerely

Tanerore

 Hey bloggers!

This is my first task for the Summer learning journey I've missed out on a ton of these activities but I will still get them all out :)

Our task was to learn about taneore and to create a Kowhaiwai pattern using google drawings. One fact I learnt about taneore was that taneore is the personification of shimmering air.

The kowhaiwhai i have created is a very simple design and I'm assuming its supposed to represent waves 

To create this I vertically flipped our starter image and then horizontally and repeatedly placed that image  

I found this task quite easy

My next step would be to create a more complex kowhaiwhai

Coordinate Maths!

 

  

Hey Bloggers

For this task we had to finish our math from when we were working with Whaea Diane

I was working with Ana and Kaia

We were given 8 paper clues and 10 counters

But we didn't have a B counter for our set so Ana made 1 with paper 

We used the 8 clues to figure out where each counter went

I found this task quite tricky to figure out where each counter went.

Our next step would be to figure it out quicker 

Sincerely 

- Shanaya
