Verb and Adverb

Kia Ora everyone,

For today's blog, I will be talking about verb and adverb. During Wanaga, we've been focusing on our writing and grammars which includes the part of speech. A verb is an action words (ex: jumping, eating, playing, throwing), verb words usually ends with 'ing'. An adverb is a descriptive word for verb, it is more detailed and tells you about how the action is present (ex: slowly, rushly, gently, quietly, shockingly), adverb usually ends with 'ly'. 

There were activities that we had to do. Take a look at my work:

Verb sorting activity: 

Walk	Run	Eat	Say
Stagger Step  March  Stroll  Amble	Canter Sprint  Gallop  Race	Munch  Gobble Chomp  Taste	Declare Mutter Charge Whisper  Consume  Exclaim  Speak

Base verbs: Fill in the gaps

1. We play with our toys. 

2. I cry when I’m sad. 

3. At night, I sleep in bed. 

4. You can talk on the phone. 

5. I can read lots of books. 

6. You can build a tower with bricks. 

7. I smile when I am happy. 

8. We watch films on the tv. 

9. I eat my lunch at school. 

1. Identifying adverbs: Highlight the adverbs

1. He smiled cautiously. 

2. She frowned angrily. 

3. He walked to school quickly. 

4. Next she looked for her coat. 

5. It would be his turn soon. 

       2. Use your own adverb to complete these sentences. 

1. She ran oddly down the road. 

2. It will be my birthday tomorrow. 

3. He wandered nearly home. 

4. Urgently, she had to wrap her brother’s present. 

5. Her dad was coming to pick her up eventually. 

That's all for now, have a great day, goodbye :)

Cybersmart Challenge / Wellbeing

Kumusta everyone,

During Wananga, we were doing a wellbeing time. We had to pick 1 activity to do out of all the 8 choices.

I picked: It's important that we promote ourselves positively online and don't overshare things about ourselves. Take part in the ko wai gu? Cybersmart challenge. Follow the instructions given, then show your teacher before posting it to your blog." 

I wrote some sensible information about myself that I could share to this blog. 

Thank you for reading my blog, I'll be posting more often for this term, goodbye :)
