Week 1 Term 4 Writing Activity - Just In Time

                             Just In Time For A NRL Game

It was a nice sunny day, and we were excited to go to the NRL game held in Mt   Smart Stadium. We went to the NRL game because its was my Brother in law’s       Rugby league game. He was playing for the Warriors and his position was    center and his name was Solomone Kata. We went to the stadium by my sister’s car.  

Its was the Vodafone Warriors vs Sydney Roosters, and the game started at 1.00, but we waited to leave at like around 9.15 so we can buy some food to eat at the NRL game.

After, we went to buy some food, we went to get changed for the game, After we got changed we drove to the game. When we got there was a massive queue on the road, then my sister looked at the time and it was 11.00. Then we waited at the queue for 1 and a half hours. Then my sister looked at the time again and it was 12.30 then my sister said we have 20 more minute left to go to the game. Then my sister said if we go to the gate when the game already started the gate will close.

Then, 10 minutes later, the road was on the track, so when the road was on track we hurried to the stadium, and when we got to the stadium we hopped out of the car with our food and ran to check the ticket then we got inside the stadium, when we walked inside the park it was massive and loud. Then my sister looked at the time again and she said we just got in time for the game.

When the Game game finished the points was Warriors 40 and Roosters 25. When the game finished I was happy because Warriors won and Solomone Kata got a try and we just made it to the game.

WALT: We are learning to make predictions using visual cues and our prior knowledge on the topic or title and by reading the text.. SUCCESS CRITERIA: I am able to confirm my prediction by reading the text.

Read the text and then do the following Activities.

Activities	Responses
Activity 1 - Predict Read the title of the article and then predict what the article is about. ( You could begin like this: “I predict this article is about………”	My Predictions: I predict that this article is about sea creatures eating skins and turning them into bones. I predict that this article is about Sea Creatures. I predict that this article is about   the deep blue sea I predict that this article is about fishes. I predict that this article is about dangerous sea creatures. I predict that this article is about discovering new Creatures. I predict that this article is about people trying to find sea creatures that has not been  known. I predict that this article is about robots looking at dead sea creatures. I predict that this article is about dead sea creatures. I predict that this article is about Fishes.
Activity  2. Read the text with your group and identify the key ideas in the text to help you clarify your predictions.	Key Ideas: Everybody is fascinated by whales-what they eat, Where they travel. But we are only just beginning to discover one of the most interesting thing about them - what happens to them when they die.Scientist call a whale that has died and fallen to the seafloor a “whale fall”. Whale falls provide food and habitats for very unusual array of creatures. Most of the world’s ecosystems are based on photosynthesis: plants use energy from the Sun to create carbohydrates, and animals then feed on the plants. Because sunlight cannot penetrate into deep sea, photosynthesis can’t take place there,so most of the animals living in the dark, environment rely on food particles that filter down from above. As a rule,because food is so scarce, fewer animals live on the seafloor than in shallow waters. However, very large populations of animals can be found in certain part of the deep sea living on whale falls. A 40-tonne whale carcass injects a huge amount of energy into the deep-sea environment. Once a whale has come to rest on the seafloor, it doesn’t take long for deep-sea creatures to arrive and start feasting.
