Different types of sentences

For the past few weeks in Hur 3 we have been learning about 3 different types of sentences Very short sentences, the W start and Adverb start.  The very short sentence has 5 words or less and is commonly known at the end of a story to create suspense or drama. For example " the seedling grew" or " He slowly planted the seed" The W start is a sentence starting with one of the four w words where, while ,whilst, and when. For example. while the seed sprouted , we watched carefully, or ,when I filled the beaker the bean fell down. The adverb start  is a sentence that starts with a adverb for example , surprisingly the bean spouted, or annoyingly the bean flipped upside down.

The treaty of Waitangi

Today In Hur 3 we watched a video about The Treaty of Waitangi and we had to fill out a sheet to do with it. We had 17 questions and here are ten that I found the most interesting.

In 1830 the Maori population was in between 70,000 and 80,000 . The main reasons the Maori population went down was because of war and diseased. The name of the main settlement in NZ at this time was Kororareka/ Russell. The chiefs and missionary were unhappy with NZ because of  young prostitution. The treaty was neglected buy being buried, burnt, water damage and eaten by rats. The united tribes of NZ were put up in 1833 to resolve the situation. The British saw France as a threat because of wars and colonisation. Edward Wakfeild set up the NZ company to become rich. The British sent Hobson to NZ to translate the treaty of Waitangi. over 500 Chiefs signed the treaty.




     

Adverb and W starts.

Today in Hur 3 we practised our adverb and W starts. We wrote our sentences on whiteboards and showed them to the teacher for each of them. The adverb starts have to have an ly at the end for example happily, sadly, joyfully etc. The W starts need to start with one of the four W words ( whilst, when, where, while ).

A sentence with an adverb start could be something like.
Sadly, I had to walk to school on a rainy day. or
Carefully. I crossed the wooden bridge.

A Sentence with a W start would be something like.
While the teacher was gone, the students partied.
when the hurricane hit, we took cover.

Do you have any feedback for me  to try and fix my sentences.

Different types of sentences

For the past few days is Hur 3 we have been writing a paragraph using 3 different types of sentences, very short, the W start and simple to complex sentences. Mine is about someone dieing ... I promise I am not a murderer.

A week ago, he ran away in the cold night scared and alone from certain
death. Where did he go, nobody was sure but they wanted to find and kill
him. Panic was rushing through his head so he kept running. While he was
running, his life flashed before his eyes as he saw a cliff and fell. He died.

A summary of NZ history

Today in who are we we watched a video about Maori past and history here is  a summary of NZ history.

In 1642 Abel Tasman arrived in NZ mapped a line around the edge of NZ and called it Nova Zealandia but left shortly after meeting Maori. 100 years later James Cook ( Captain cook ) arrived in 1769 with a chief navigator called Tupaia and they bought pigs, ship rats , potato and disuses. They later started a musket war ( musket is a type of gun ) it ended in the late 1830. After the musket wars the ratio from Pakeha to Maori was 1 Pakeha to 40 Maori.
People thought There was land under NZ called Terra exstalis incognito.

Simple to Complex Sentences

Today we did a practice for our assessment (test) and working to improve and make our writing more interesting. We practised making our sentences better by changing them from simple to complex sentences. We would add a word or two every time we change a sentence so it would become more interesting. Here are the sentences that I changed.

Simple to Complex Sentences
