We used our reading time this week to find out about the Ancient Greek Olympics. Once we had made our notes and reorganised our information we collaboratively created a presentation. I found out that if married women were caught in the olympic stadium then they would get thrown off Mt Olympis. I enjoyed learnning more about the ancient Olmpic Games.
LI: To find the important information in a current event.
This week for Reading we learnt about author's purpose. Authors write for a purpose/reason. These reasons are to Persuade, Inform, Explain or Entertain (PIE).
First we looked at Kiwi Kids News to find a article. Then, we made a copy of the Current Events DLO and answered these questions:
What
When
Where
Why
The article i was reading about was called 6 Polish swimmers sent home from olumpics.
LI: To use our smart searching skills to find information about the Greek gods
Today David shared his reading challenge with us. It is all about the Greek gods and helps us to practise the skills we have been learning in our reading lessons with our teachers.
David created this task as part of his CARE award challenges. We earn CARE award badges in year 7 and 8 to show that we understand our school values. In this activity we used our smart searching skills to find information to help us complete the table.
I found this activity cool and interesting because I got to learn diffrent things about greek gods and got to identifiy the diffrent greek gods and godess.
The Greek god I found most interesting is Ares because he's is the god of war and courage and I respect that. His life story is also intresting.

One of our activities was to create a reading pathway that shows how my favourite books have changed over time. At the moment I like reading Red Rocks because It is a verey cool book to read.
LI:To explain the what the book was about.
This week for reading Kea and Kakako work together to read a book about a woman getting a tattoo called a malu. We read each paragraph so everyone can have a turn at reading. We had to make a summarising and find 20 words and take 6 most important words and with those 6 words we made sentences.
LI: To identify and consider the two perspectives of this provocation to help me form an opinion.
A provocation is an action or speech that triggers strong feelings about a topic. Today we considered both sides of the provocation, ‘Should masks be compulsory on NZ public transport?’ We then used that information to help us form an opinion that we could justify with evidence.I say everyone should wear and not wear.
Yes why people should were masks.
Yes people should wear mask because they might get coronavirus.
No why people should not wear masks.
No because people might not like wearing masks and also it might feel uncomfortable.
LI: To identify author’s purpose.
Authors write for a purpose (reason). These reasons are to persuade, inform or entertain (PIE). Each day, newspaper editors around the world must make desicions about which stories they will run. We explored the different types of current events that are happening in New Zealand, thought about why the story made the news and plotted the location on a google map. The thing that i found intrusion is that i didn't know that they found a black panther in the south island in Christchurch.
LI:To try and stop being embarrassed
Today for writing we were reading an a embarrassment poem.The is book was about dealing embarrassment or handling it. We created a DLO with instructions about how to stop being embarrassed. 1st you must learn the secret to stop being embarrassed. 2nd When embarrassment strikes, imagine it is a temporary STOP sign. Finally if you want to become an embarrassment expert, you must learn the most difficult technique of all, which is to laugh and keep laughing until the moment grows fainter and fainter
LI: To write a summary of the story behind the Gunpowder Plot in your own words.

LI:To find out what inertia is.
LI: To create a timeline to show the life of Vincent Van Gogh.
L.I To summarise the information.
L.I: to find the most vital ideas from the information to help us answer the question what is science.
This week for reading we have been learning about what science is. We started off with writing down what we already knew about science on sticky notes, then we watched a video to find out more. While watching the video we used the sticky notes to make notes. The video explains the areas of science, the difference between basic science and applied science. One thing we found really interesting was that you use chemistry, physics, and biology when you make a lime juice from fresh limes. We negotiated and shared ideas to create a summary, we used the sticky notes to create sentences for the summary. Our group worked collaboratively to get these activities completed. We enjoyed doing this activity as we were able to practise negotiating and taking time to respect everybody's ideas. We have summarised our learning below. Science is about getting knowledge from asking questions . It is divided into 3 areas: Chemistry, Physics and Biology. Science is both basic and applied, basic science using what you know. Science is either beneficial or harmful depending on how you view and use it. Questions we want to ask: Where can science be used? Why is science important to our world ? When do scientists ask questions?
LI: To read the information in the text, think about what you have read and form an opinion
We read the story ‘The Protest March’ then made connections between what is happening in the world now. We used the information in the story and our prior knowledge to help us form an opinion.
L.I To retell the story of the gingerbread man.
Today we read the story of a gingerbread man. The old lady was making a gingerbread man but she told the little boy to watch it the little boy was watching it but he was daydreaming. Then the gingerbread man jumped out of the oven and ran out of the house.He passed the little boy, two well dodgers , two ditch diggers, a bear. He came to a wolf but he did not outrun the fox because the fox tricked the gingerbread man and ate him all up.
