Ghost are Real!

                        

LI: to plan a narrative
Right now we are learning about Narratives. A narratives structure is TOPES: Title, Orientation, Problem, Events, and lastly the Solution. We had to write down ideas for a play and we had to plan it. Our own play was going to be performed by another group. We first planned on our Orientation. In the orientation we had to write down our characters and how the act, and look. We also had to write the settings so where the play was going to be.

Seasons

LI: to learn the seasons in Te Reo Maori
The word for seasons in Te Reo Maori is Tau. Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter also have their own words in Te Reo Maori. We used a website called "Te Ara Encyclopedia" to learn about the seasons and the events happening in the seasons.

Solar System

For Inquiry we are doing space. Our work was to make a DLO (Digital Learning Object) about the planets in our solar system. We also had to write down the Maori names for the planets in our solar system. We then had to record our DLO (Digital Learning Object) and voice over it.

Table Mat & Making Connections

                          


LI: to make connections
Making Connections is a connection you have with the book. There are three types of making connections. Text to You, which is something in the book that is related to you or has happened to you. Text to Text is what is in the text that relates to another text. Text to World is something in the book that relates or happened in the world. For our work we had to do a table mat again but with another text.

We then had a poster to fill in. We had to write down Text to Self, Text to Text, and Text to World.
