Picking Peas

Picking Peas

The pictures help to show where,what,when and how they do things in their part of the country.

Most pictures are of kids and adults showing to pick pea and how they grow also where they are located. They are different to us because they do loads of different things like for example they wear different clothes, ride different motors and do different things.

The pictures show how they work and manage a pea farm.

They live in India, La haul a place where they like to make and eat curry.

Pea season is in July, it lasts for three short weeks

If you want to pick a pea you need to hold it by the base, where it is attached to the pea plant, so that it doesn't split open.

The peas that are not ripe you leave to dry for the crows to come and eat because the crows like dry peas.

When you open a pea pod it is like zipping a zip - lock plastic bag.

The weight of most of the pea sacks are about between 40 and 50 kilograms.

The truck drivers journey is very dangerous when delivering the peas because they have to go over a 4000 - meter - high mountain pass.

The pea get delivered to the vegetable markets of Delhi as fresh, green, and crunchy as possible.

Mussel Time

W.A.L.T: I am learning to use five senses to create a mental image to help me visualise what I am reading. I sketch or use a graphic organiser to represent my my thinking. 

Mussel Time

The boys chose Ms Howe to join them with their kai. They chose her because of her love for the school children and because her presence gives honour to the occasion.

Painga thanks God for looking after the boys while they were cooking and asks him to look after their mothers and fathers, the old people, the little babies at home, and the new children at school.

The boys shake Painga’s hand to thank him as a sign of respect for his words.

Sharing food strengthens the boy’s friendship.

How I Get to School (Writing)

How I Get to School.

As I was tossing and turning I woke up 7.00 with this really bad dream and yawned really loud, “AHHHH”. I pulled the blanket off of me and quickly jumped out of bed. I slowly put on my school uniform and shoes.

After I was tying up my shoes I heard the toast pop up and ran to go get it, I buttered it with butter and jam then started to much it, “Yummy that was yummy” I said. Then I tip some rice bubbles into my bowl and poured some milk, I quickly grabbed my spoon and dumped it into my bowl and took it out. With a big ahh I put my spoon in my mouth and munched it all up.

When I was finished eating my breakfast I said P.U I need to go and brush my teeth. When I snatched my tooth bush out of the toothbrush holder I grabbed the toothpaste and squirted it on my toothbrush I then started to brush my teeth up, down and side to side, then I raised my mouth and spat it all out.

After brushing my teeth I packed my lunch box and went to school with my 3 sisters including me it was 4, Oh!!! wait a minute “I forgot my water bottle,” oh . . . .  never mind.

I'm not wearing that!! (Reading)

I'm Not Wearing That!  

WALT: I am learning to understand the detail that supports the main idea in the text.  

Mum had tears in her eyes because Greta was growing up and she had her for a very long time.

Mark and Michael were happy about the announcement because without Greta in the house, they wouldn't have to share a bedroom any more.

Life was getting difficult because there was so much to organise for Greta's wedding.

Mum said "It's just a stage," because she thought Hannah would be more interested in been a bride maids.

Hannah was not happy been a bridesmaid because Greta keep bossing her around about what clothes she should wear.

Hannah changed her mind because she got to wear something she wanted to wear and.

I have not been to a wedding before.
