The Magic Faraway Tree by Enid Blyton.
Joe, Beth and Fannie’s cousin Dick comes to stay, reluctant at first to share in their adventures at the top of the Faraway Tree. Join them and their friends Moonface, Saucepan Man and Silky the fairy as they discover which new land is at the top of the Faraway Tree. Will it be the Land of Dreams or the Land of Topsy-Turvy?
This week we are focusing on what we can do to help create pest-free environments, with a special focus on Lake Ngatu. While the reading that we will do in class may not be about Lake Ngatu, it focusses on the same key ideas that we have already put in place at Lake Ngatu with the help of DOC.
Continuing with our learning around 'Seaweek', read the article all about Estuaries and why they are important to us.
Read the poem together as a class and discuss. Focus on the language/vocab used. What does it mean? Why is it effective?
Use these slide decks for extra quiet reading.
