If you need to be on the roads, please drive slowly, particularly through any surface flooding, so that you don’t push water onto people’s properties.  (Punctuation)

The Sunny 7,640 Islands - Writing Week 3 Term 2

From Writing this week we had to write about our Tūranagawaewae, it had to be less than 100 word and it had to be a show not tell pace of writing. Tūranagawaewae means standing place, were you think you belong. Show not tell writing means you have to use more descriptive language.

My Tūranagawaewae, which is the Philippines. This place is important to me because my mum grew up here and we have lots of family members there. 

The Sunny 7,640 Islands

Just outside my window screen an array of lights is staring back at me, while herds of traffic conquer the streets. Manila is like a exotic jungle as the buildings stand tall like jungle trees. 

The colourful delight of rich juicy fruits fills me with happiness as this new and exciting treat is cold and refreshing. The deep purple ube reminds me of a delicate purple flower.

Humid and hot weather is the perfect calling for the beach, the sand is a pale shade of cream and the sea is a pale blue. This is my Tūranagawaewae.

(97 words in total)

The reason why my title is The Sunny 7,640 Islands is because there are 7,640 island in the Philippines, and on the flag there is a sun.

(Picture below)

Ube is a purple yam/sweet potato. It was only grown in the Philippines, but now it is grown in other places in Asia. It is used in desserts ice cream, cakes.

Were do you think your Tūranagawaewae is, were do you think you belong in the world the most? It could be a whole country or just a city or a lake!

Writing Week 9/10

Using your word bank, write and present (digitally/audio/video) a poem based around Ōtautahi.

The requirements are:

- it must use some knowledge from reading about Ngāi Tahu

- use at least two of the poetry tools from the toolbox.

Think about how you will present your poem - how could a visual element enhance your writing?

  

In my poem I talked about the art and the plants, because it is the garden city. I also talked about the ngai tahu making this place their home.

PAVLOVA DOME  

My goal was while reading pick up new ideas and information. I got my idea for a pavlova for the sculpture of fruit in Cromwell and the gherkin in London. I thought to do this because it is the national  dessert. 

I wonder if they would actually consider build a dessert structure?
