Reading skills

This week and last week we have been reading a book called catching a space duck. The skills that I have been doing is reading the book and then summing what happened in it. Sometimes I read the book and then I re-read  the book so I can understand whats going on.

why the whales came

This week we have been learning about the book on why the whales came. This book is very interesting because you really can imagine whats going on and it's like a movie just reading a book. The hard part was the hard words on the book. The easy part was thinking about whats going on in the story. The authors name was called Michael Morpurgo and I recommend that you have to read it. 

The trial

This week in reading we have to do an activity on our book called the trial. The activity that I done today was an acrostic poem.
hope you like it.

taumarere

On Thursday the 25th the bilingual classes went to taumaere because we had to learn about the history around that place. We had all jumped on the train and headed off. The big kids had walk 3km from taumarere bridge to opua it was so tiring but I am keen to do it again. Also we had to do a scavenger hunt it was really fun. After that we all  had to walk to the club rooms to catch the train. Here is a D.L.O of the past and present of taumarere.

Reading to Nga Rau Rito

Yesterday We had our library open and we had to dress up in our favorite book character I was a school child. Anyway we had to do reading activities one of them was reading to the junior classes we had to read to Nga Rau Rito it was fun. The easy part was choosing a book that was cool for kids. The hard part was getting the kids attendance because they where so bored. Maybe next time I should ask what book they want me to read. What do you think. here are some photos

Taumarere history

Today we had to make a Taumarere history D.L.O so we can show it here on our blog and show if we know the history of Taumarere.

here my work:

Captain cook

In reading I think I did well but not so well. The most activity that challenged me the most was there, their and they're when we had to right these in a sentence. I asked a friend to help with one thing. I think the easiest for me was our homework part. Our homework was to find evidence to support your answers.

Taumarere awa

This week we were learning about Taumarere. We asked questions, we answers and we write what we know.

Matariki

Yesterday we did Matariki activities and Mahuta, Bobbie-jo and I did retelling the story of Matariki.  When we shared with the class Mrs Henare said mine and Mahuta's were the best.  Hope you like my video.

reading

This week we were reading about water worried and how to evaluate the text. The hard part was doing it. The easy part understanding. I think I need to work on coming to the reading lesson and learning more.

New Zealand's Weather Report

Last week we did some reading and i'm still doing that book that we did last week. The story I wrote is pretty important. The hard and easy part is in my drawing

New Zealand's Weather

This week we were reading about sign of change. Sign of change is about how the Maori could tell the weather by clouds over the mountain and how the clouds were a rich source of information.

Water cycle

This week we are learning  about the rubbish that goes around the world. last week we went down town to clean up Kawakawa and I know that there was more then 15 bags of rubbish that we collected. Some went in the river for rubbish and some went to clean the storm drains. When we were picking up rubbish in the storm drain there was still big mountains of rubbish still left in there because we could not get to it and when Mahuta saw a animal head flow picked up that head and it was a cow face.

ANZAC

This week is ANZAC week and I have a poster that I done so please turn your eyes to this.

Dawn Service

Today I read a poem about this kid's Great grandad and how he learnt about what his great-grandad did. The easy part was reading it. The hard part was turning it into a poem and understanding it,  So my next step is to  turn it into a poem and understand it.

ANZAC ( the children's war)

Yesterday we were reading about ANZAC and about when men went to war that children would learn about them and what they do to support there country. The easy part was reading it and  understanding it.  The hard part was making a picture in my head, so I think my next step is to learn how to make pictures in my head.

I think

1. That when people went to war, the children would learn about them in the school journal.

2.The kid would honor the before going into class

3.  NZ joined forces with the british

4. The kids would sew sock's , kitted, stitched and write cheerful letters

5. That boy's would learn soldiers skills to become soldiers in the future

Fish Highway

Last week we were learning about the book called fish highway. Fish highway is about different types of fish and how they climb and  eating  rubbish in the sea. When on the mat we were asking question like why do fishes climb, why is there heaps  of pipes and many more.

so if you turn your eyes to this you will learn something.
