Fixing Narratives

Narratives are fictional stories that usally use third person and past tense. The structure of a narrative is TOPES. TOPES stands for title, orentation, problem, events, and solution.

To fix a narrative people make sure there is not to much conversations and speech. If there is they add more narration to fix it. If there is to much narration people add more conversations and speech to make it more interesting.

To write a narrative people use their ideas, then puts them into sentences and paragrapghs.

It's importaint to fix a narrative to make it more interesting. It's also importaint to know the process of a narrative because it helps other people expand their knowledge.

The Twits

This week I chose a book called "The Twits." This is a fiction book which means it's a made up story. It's based on the Twits.

I had to write down 3 events that happened in the story. The first event I wrote down was "Mrs Twit puts a glass eye in Mr Twits mug." That gave Mr Twit fright.

I found this book funny because Mr and Mrs Twit pull horrible pranks on each other.

Multiplication & Division

This week I took the speed demon. I decided to do both multiplication and division because I wanted to challenge myself.

Once I was finished answering the equations my time at was 8 minutes and 24 seconds. I think next time I should try and be a little more faster.

I found answering the question easy because I know my time tables which makes easier to answer them but I just need to concertrate more on the questions.

If you don't believe me my proof is on my DLO which is at the bottom of this blog post.

Idioms

This week for reading we were explaining different idioms. An idiom is a phrase that means something different to what it usually means. I did this can-do with Chisa & Akifa.

We picked three idioms which was: an apple a day keeps the doctor away, call it a day, and easy as ABC.

After we picked three idioms we wrote a script and created videos to explain the idioms we chose visually.

I enjoyed this activity doing this can do and I will do it again.

Novel Study | The Twits

The Twits is a fiction book writen by Roald Dahl. From the chapter 12-15 it tells how Mr Twit's prank backfires and what their house and backyard looks like. 

Mr Twit thought his prank would go well but it didn't. Mrs Twit decided to chew through the strings so she would float down. This solution worked but when she landed she was fuming at Mr Twit because of his prank.

Mr and Mrs Twit have a horrible house. When they were building the house they decided to have no winddows which made the house look weird. They also have a old garden that has lots thistles and needles that Mrs Twit planted. 

This book is funny and interesting book that lots of children can read.

Money is a item the is accepted as payment for goods and services. NZ money works on a place value system. NZ money currently works on our 100's place value system.

The NZ money have 5 different coins and 5 different notes. There are 10c, 20c, 50c, $1, and $2 coins. There are $5, $10, $20, $50, and $100 dollar notes.

Here is an example on how the system works. A person then they used up a $1.50 and a $1.70. How much does the person have left? This can be solved using place value. First add $1.50c and $1.70c together. 70+50=$1.20c. Then add $1+$1=$2.00. After that add $2.00+$1.20c=$3.20c. Then take away $10.00-$3.20=6.80.

Money can be shown in many different ways. It's importaint to know to use money because it helps people understand the value of money.
