ANZAC Day

This week I learnt about ANZAC day and why it is inportant.

ANZAC day is important because it is the time where we all come together and reflect on the people who died to protect and serve our countries. The way I celebrate anzac is that my family and I go out on a one day holiday to either go for a walk or stay at home and do nothing. On anzac day Kendric makes and eats anzac cookies to be honest I do the same. But I think that ANZAC day is most important so we can reflect on the people that died to serve our country. But at the end of the day it is there so we can all remember everyone that has died.

 

Life in Aotearoa

This week we have been reading a text called “Life in Aotearoa” written by Matt Boucher. The text tells us lots of information about the evolution of life in Aotearoa – namely the different species that have come, gone, aswell as those that have stayed. In our response to text slides, we have been practicing our reading comprehension skills. We’ve also tried to identify and understand key vocabulary related to biology and ecology. We have also been answering questions that require critical thinking and understanding of the text.

Supply & Demand

This week in reading my task was to read a book about supply and demand. The book was about a boy and a girl named Mia and Thomas

My second task was to do a quiz on epic books. The hardest question was what is demand.

My third task was to answer the quiz on the google drawing. The quiz on the google drawing was easy because it was the same as the epic books quiz.

I enjoyed this task because I got to read a book on epic books.

Supply is when your suppiers sell you your items to sell and Demand is what the costumers want to buy.

Wonder Slides

This week in reading my task was to complete the slides.

My first task was to write a reflection about the story that I have read so far, part of my reflection is telling us that Jullian is a meany and Jack is a helpfull person.

My next task was to match the symbloes with the corect sayings, Like star with acomplishment & acheivment.

My final task was to write charcter profiles for Jack, Jullian and Charlotte. In my opinion Julian is a massive jerk, because he is mean to August.

Dialogue in “Wonder”

This term in reading we are diving into a novel study for the book “Wonder” by R.J. Palacio.  This week we are focusing on what we can learn about the characters, especially through their dialogue.  Characters’ thoughts and feelings can be revealed through their dialogue.  This allows readers to make inferences about their internal perspectives and motivations.

We read Part One Chapters 5-7 which was about the writers and the illostrators.

Our first task was to choose dialogue from the relevant chapter and use the dialogue to infer what each of the characters’ thoughts may have been. 

Here is my work : 

Our second task was to imagine we are part of a welcoming committee at Beecher Prep, and create a warm and inviting poster to welcome August, the main character in the story. Our poster had to reflect the school’s values of kindness, inclusivity, and diversity.

I enjoyed …

I need to improve on…
