It's a .... Fing

 In class we are reading the novel Fing, we were practising the skill of visualising by drawing what we imagined the deepest, darkest, jungliest jungle to look like as a map.

See some of the students' visualisations below in the photos.

Pānui - Reading

 In our class, we have been learning about Matariki. In reading yesterday we talked about what Matariki is and how we can celebrate it as a holiday.

Below is our class' thinking about the benefits and negatives (yellow and black hat thinking in de bono hats) of having Matariki as a public holiday. There was some great critical thinking and discussion over the topic.

What do you think are the benefits of having Matariki as a public holiday?

Summertime Reading Challenge

I was one of the winner in the summertime reading challenge from Aranui Library. Inside the price bag, there were a packet of jelly beans, a drink bottle, a powder bank charger, a phone holder, a pen, a colourful folder, a wooden bookmark with “Kia Ora “ on it, a CD and a book. I opened the packet of jelly beans and shared it with the staff at the library straight away because I was very excited and happy when I received the prize.
