Monday: Meaning – what does it mean?
Gannets:
I see it, “Gannets fly to Australia,” says the boy.
We turn back to watch the birds. The mates are still dancing. They stop
for a moment, neck resting on neck, two heads of soft gold. The black
lines around their eyes look like they’ve been drawn on with a marker.
“Tākapu are just so lovely,” says the mum. I nod. They are. I see it.
“Gannets fly to Australia,” says the boy. “But this is their kāinga.
They always come back.”
What helped me was these two lines that I have shaded in yellow. It gave me a few key points that I could find in this text.
The meaning of gannets is a bird that you mainly see at the beach or just areas where there is water.
Tuesday: use – how do i use it?
Startled:
In the morning I got startled because my aunty came in while I was having my beauty sleep. She usually knocks on my door while saying it’s time to get up so that’s why I was startled during my beauty sleep.
I can identify the word startled in many ways because I usually see this word in k-dramas or c-dramas. It’s common to see the word startled.
Wednesday: build – how is it built?
Blowhole:
Prefix – There is no prefix in blowhole
Root –
Blow: Meaning the force of blowing air like out your mouth.
Hole: This means the little circle that goes right through an object is counted as a hole.
Suffix – There is no suffix in blowhole
If you combine these two words you get blowhole, with the two meanings of these words on itself would mean a person or animal that’s blowing air, but it’s likely a whale or dolphin, when wave pressure happens they blow all the air out of their nostril.
Tuesday: Connect – Connect It
Breeze: PE
Everyone is running a 400m track so they can build up their stamina, Mr Green shouts out saying “if you stop half way you still need to do the 50 push ups” every one complains saying hes going too hard on us all they want is to have a cold bottle of water, into the cold breeze passes through their bodys they push even harder knowing that if they finish faster they could take a quick break before everyone else comes to do the next exercise.
The word breeze is when a cold wind blows on you so that’s why I said (“into the cold breeze passed through their bodys”) which goes well in this sentence becuase I explained that a cold breeze passed through their bodys.
