Medals Meaning

Today we had whaea tony came in and show us her great grandfathers and her grandfathers metals and we had to the metals they had they had four each. Then we had to pick out of all those 8 and research about what it means and what it means to them. The thing I had learnt about the medal I picked was that it was a medal you get if you, The United Nations Medal (Korea) was awarded for service during the Korean War (1 July 1950 to 27 July 1953) and for service in the first twelve months following the Armistice (up to 27 July 1954). It was manufactured in the language of each country that participated in the United Nations force in Korea. The Sovereign has given approval for New Zealanders, who meet the eligibility criteria, to accept and wear the United Nations Medal (Korea). Here is a picture of the medal I chose.

Haiku poem

For the past week we have been learning about haiku poems its been kinda fun and hard at the same time. There are rules to a haiku poem so there has to be 5 syllables at the top of your poem, 7 in the middle of your poem and 5 syllables at the bottom of your poem not 5 or 7  words but syllables. There is anther rule it can only be about a certaint topic or about felling. The hard part was creating words about my feelings because I was felling lots of emotions. The easy part was writing my haiku poem and making sure it makes sense. The thing I will do next time we do this is to came up with same different or better words for my haiku poem. Here is a pic of my haiku poem I did about my feelings.

Structure and language

Today I chose a writing goal and it is for structure and language  rubric 4. I am going to re look at it in term 2 week 4 to see if I have made progress. My goal for writing is, I have all of the structure and one part maybe well developed. My next goal for next term will probably be for my vocabulary rubric 5 and if I do well on that it will make me more better at vivid vocab.
