Key Words

This week in reading we learnt about keywords. 

First we worked on understanding what a keyword was and was not. 

Then I made this poster to show my learning. 

I look foreword to using this strategy while reading.

SSR

LI: to summarise and retell
I had to do a SSR so we had to do some reading and taking a picture and we had to do some main words and some new words.

Reading | Mapping Skills | Geography

 LI: To build geographical knowledge and mapping skills.

This week, we were building our geographical knowledge and challenging our mapping skills. We needed to observe a photo that was located somewhere in the world. In groups of three, we were to find out where a giant carrot was. This activity is to find out where in the world Mr. Ogilvie is.

The giant carrot is a statue which is located in Ohakune, New Zealand. We had to answer questions and add in photos. We recorded our found knowledge on this slide. I enjoyed this activity, a new fact learnt was that the giant carrot located in Ohakune that is over 6 meters tall!

About Me 2020

Malo lele. 

My name is Viliami. I am Tonga. I am in LS1 at Panmure Bridge School. 

I enjoy playing sports for my school because I like touch and rugby league and I play with my
friends in the field. My favorite sport is rugby and I love it because we can tackle and ankle
tap them on the feet and we can bump them off. I like tag and go home and stay home.

Reading, Treaty of Waitangi

This week we have been learning about the Treaty of Waitangi by accessing different text types and

media.

In groups we needed to firstly access the information and gather the main ideas of Who, What, Where,

Why and When. We had journal stories, websites, youtube videos and more.

We then had to summarise the information into sentences using key words. Even though we all picked

out different words, the main idea of the treaty are the 3 Ps.

The 3 Ps are Protection, Partnership and Participation. This is what the treaty set out to achieve.

We then had to evaluate our new learnings and think of questions that we that we want to find more

information on.

Poverbs

Today we did a proverb and we had to draw a picture of our own proverb.

Cyclone

L.I. - Identify literary device - Simile

Identify some of the similes in the poem

Recording Sheet Cats

 Recording sheet 

 Cats

L.I. - Making connections to text sets

Solution 1 -  We should make our cat the last cat we have.

 Solution 2- Keep your cats indoors, so they can eat native birds.

We think the best solution is to try to keep our cats indoors because they might chase
birds rats and mice.                                          

READ the first TEXT

1.Text to text - What else have you read or watched that has been about cats?
You should let your cat stay inside so they don’t kill animals. 

2.Text to self - Have you ever had a pet cat? NO.

•  The Cat in the Hat , Goldfield, The Lion King. 

3.Text to world - What do you know about what cats do in the wild?
They pick up they cats and find food.  

Watch the  VIDEO, make the best cat your one. 

Solution 1 -  We should look after our cats so it doesn’t die.

Solution 2- We should make our cat the last cat we have.

I think the best solution is how the cat was trying to get in the bucket because he
tried to get the bird but the cat fell down then the cat went back in the bucket then
the cat eats the bird and they keep they pet in door.

Whale Watch

1.Max really hoped to see a whale.

2.Lester put the hydrophone in the water to listen for whale sounds.

3.Lester took them offshore because the water is deep and full of food.

4.Lester said that he could hear squeal and clicking but he couldn’t hear
any sound.

5.Lester said that they waited and waited, then they heard a rush of air
and a grey whale because it was the whales necklace and Max was
feeling excited to see a whale then he saw one for the first time in
his life.

6.The first clue Max had was rush of air from the whale breathing.

Today we did whale watch and we had to answer questions and it was a little bit hard but at least I tried. We used part of the question to write the answer.

Lady Birds

1. 1. Two insects the ladybird larvae eat are scale insects and aphids.
   2. Birds don’t eat ladybirds because they taste too terrible to be eaten to themselves.
   3. Ladybirds sometimes ooze bitter orange blood from their legs when they play dead.

The Reading Room

The title refers to the reading room that is the bathroom.

They used standard font to use it in character in the book.

Mum’s friend’s is talking on the telephone with another person why? Because she had to go to the movies shower and she had to wait for kathy but she wasn’t opening the door and she waited and waited but she hasn’t even opened the door.

Lisa doesn't want to be found because she will get in trouble.

Lisa does not want to be found because she wants to finish the book by not getting interrupted.

Mark is a character in the book that Lisa is reading in the bathroom

Lisa left the reading room because Lisa finished the book that she is reading 

Kathy was probably going to tell on Lisa because kathy through that Lisa went toilet and through that Lisa didn’t flush the toilet.

The story was about a girl named Lisa and she went into the bathroom the is named the reading room and her sister named kathy to go shower because she was going to the movies and she went to do her hair and and Lisa didn’t finish they book and it took a long time because it was a long story but not quite and her mum was store waiting there and she said open the door but she didn’t listen what happen next?. 

Today we did the reading room and we had to write the question about the book and what happen.

Duffy - Into the Games

Today we went to the hall to watch a show about Duffy goes in to the games. When we went into the hall there were three people they introduce themselves. Then they started the show. The show was all about a boy name Duffy and his cousin. His cousin always play video games so Duffy got bored and started playing by himself. Then Duffy put on his nana's glasses and then he started dancing. Then he got suck in to the video game. I learn that the game that Duffy's cousin was playing was invented by Duffy's nana. My favourite part was when the minstral try to knock out Duffy's tour. Minstral is a character in the game that try to knock out the blocks.

Duffy - Into the game

Today we went to the hall. Then we went there to go to the Duffy Theatre and they were working together to go out of the game but they couldn't go out so they try and try and try and try but the there was only 10 minutes until they stay in the game. After the mum tried the glasses but sh didn't go in the game she only had to dance so she can go and help them but she didn't went in to the game. Then they think after the got a idea to go out of the game after they had to look at the book and after they got out of the game.
