Reading

This term for reading we are doing a zoo task. First we choose a task to do, then we choose an animal, next we choose a journal to read from and finally we do the task. I make a bookmark about the Morarch Butterfly. This is what it looks like.

Ocean Posters

This term we did a google draw poster on an ocean of our choice. I chose the Atlantic Ocean. We had to find out where it was located, the size, the oceans deepest point and five sea animals located there. This is my google draw poster.

ANZAC Day Phamphlet

As well as doing ANZAC day art we also did a phamphlet about an object with a particular soliders story in World War l. My phamphlet is about Thomas Harry Kinder. He was a student at Wanganui Collegiate when World War l broke out. The object is a picture of his class. Two of them did not go to war and the rest of them served. Five were killed, five were injured and three came back without serious injuries. This is my phamphlet.

Reading Plays

A few weeks ago we started to do plays in our reading groups. My reading group, The Red Pandas did a play a few weeks ago about a car trip where they were ment to go to mini golf but ended up going to a garden centre. I like doing plays and I hope we can contine to do plays till the end of the year.

Author Visit

A few weeks ago Raymond Hubber (an author) came to talk to us about his writing e told us the steps of how to be a good writer. He read us a chapter of one of his books and told us a story later we got to ask some questions. Thank you for coming in Raymond Hubber.

Bird Posters

In reading we have been learing about bird beaks and feet and that it help's it adapt to it's enviroment. After a lot of learning we made our very own bird!

Figurative Language

Idiom, hyperbole, alliteration, metaphor, onomatopoeia, similes and personification. These are all language features which we call figurative language. In reading we have been learning about these language features and how authors used them in their writing to make their work engaging and add interest for their audience. We made posters either with paper pencils or flowers with examples Idiom, hyperbole, alliteration, metaphor, onomatopoeia, similes and personification.

Inspirational heros

During reading we have been researching people who have faced challenges and have stood up for what they have believed in. They have either been a voice for those that don't have one or are a person who never gave up when facing challenges.

My person is Georgia O'Keeffe
