Reading

In reading our class started a zoo project.  The zoo project is very similar to our passport tasks.  We have to complete 9 activities and they all revolve around animals.  When you choose a topic you have to find a book that you want to do the activity on. Our class can also get likes.  The better the activity the more likes. We also made title pages for this and here is mine:

Reading

Yesterday my reading group learnt about a Tongan myth called Maka Feke.  Its about an octopus and a rat.  The rat was travelling by a wooden canoe when all of a sudden a strong storm broke his boat.  When he saw an octopus close to shore he asked if he could ride him to the forest promising to repay him.  The octopus agreed and swam him over.  The rat ran into the forest saying

"Hahaha I tricked you!"

This trap carries on today with a White Cowry Shell used as a rat.  The fisherman with lure an octopus over with this trap and will have enough time to catch its prey.  Here is a drawing on our activity sheet I did.

Reading Posters

In reading we made Ocean posters about the different oceans.  The oceans we chose from were the Southern Ocean, the Indian Ocean, the Pacific Ocean, the Arctic Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean.  We made our posters on google draw and this is what mine looks like.

Our Reading Plays

In reading we have started doing plays.   My group did a play about a car ride.  In the car ride they are supposed to go to mini golf but ended up going to a plant barn!  I love doing plays so I hope we continue doing it throughout the year.  Here's a few photos.

Our Class Websites

Last week we started a few websites. One was for maths it was called prodigy. Our other two were for reading and they were called freckle and epic.  I like prodigy the best because you can battle people and learn lots while doing it!

Inspirational Heroes

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

My person is Nelson Mandela.

Come visit room 6 to check out my flip presentation of Nelson Mandela.
