Perserverence and Grit

 This week is the first week of home schooling because if covid. For reading we are learning about perserverence and grit. Thats means to never guve uo and try your hardest even when things get tough. Our goal was: Think while reading, pick up new informtion, and come up with new ideas and thinking. We had this text to read about a runner who thought he was fit but he relised that he wasn't because when he went for a run and he got really tired. He wanted to become a good runner so with his friend he practised running every day and won a marathon. He showed perserverence and grit by not giving up on becoming a really good runner..

Here I have made a slideshow with some of the ways I show perserverence and grit in my everyday life.

When are some times when you have shown perserverence and grit?

My Magnificent Medal

 Kia ora and welcome back to my blog. This week for the literacy task baord one of the things we had to create was make our own medal. We got a medal template and it was very fun to make my very own. If I were to go onto the Olympics I would want to do table tennis. I am pretty good at table tennis but I have'nt practised in while. 

Here is my medal

What sport would you compet in the Olympics?

The Yellow Umbrella

 Kia ora and welcome back to my blog. This week for writing we watched this video called umbrella. It is a short video about a little girl who comes with her mum to a home for children and donated some toys. She brings a umbrella and this little boy takes it bcause it looks like his dads. In the end of the story the girl takes it and then she feels bad for the boy and gives it back to him. She showed empathy which is all apart of our PBL about happiness. 

Here is my writing.

Early one stormy, miserable morning, the wooden door to Miss Elems’s Home for Children creaked open. The young girl with the sun yellow umbrella, carefully stepped inside the Orphanage before finding somewhere to put her umbrella. Unwilling to be seen Boris quickly hid behind the door frame so he was obscured from view. Stepping off to the side, the girl watched the joyful scene as the children dug through the box of toys. The girl smiled as she observed the little boy darting around the room like a cheetah. Her smile slowly faded as she looked at the now empty umbrella stand, and all she saw were wet puddles. Her cherished umbrella was gone.

Can you find a time adverbial in my story?
