Week 8
Welcome to Week 8!
Below is all of the background activities, warm ups, karakia, whakatauki and even the philosophical question of the week.
Haiku
Last week we examined Haiku in both form and philosophy. We discovered how one is written but also the guiding ideas behind what make Haiku so important; as well as about the life of Haiku's most famous poets. Matsuo Basho
Here is the video we watched about it:
Blends
This week we're also examining blends. Blends in words are when you see two consonants (opposite of vowels) that go together and you hear each of their sounds. For example 'bl,' 'cr,' and, 'st.' Have a go at finding as many words with blends as possible:
Cl - 'Clear' _________, ______________, _________________.
St - 'Stand' ____________, _____________, _______________.
Dr - 'Drive' ______________, ______________, ______________.
Have a go at finding these blends in the middle or the end of these words too! (Room 10 found cyclone on Monday)
