MANA Goal

Knowing and sharing our zone of regulation - MANA POTENTIAL BOARD

We will achieve this by:

• Knowing the colours and ngā atua that describe the way we are feeling

• Being able to identify our feelings

• Keeping our names on the Mana potential board in the correct zones as we change during the day

• Noticing when others are in a zone where they may not want to be talked to

• Respecting each others’ personal boundaries

• Knowing when to ask for help or let someone know that you want time out

• Know what the break-out rooms are for, when we go in them, and how to behave in them

• Thank others for helping us

• Knowing how our mood affects our learning and others

• Respecting others and the way they are feeling

Success Indicators:

• We will better know ourselves and what we can do to help ourselves and others

• Our class will be calmer and more controlled helping us to learn better

• When you help someone, you will feel proud of yourself and they will feel proud of you

• We will be thanked for our thoughtfulness

• We will feel respected and cared for when people speak to us using kind words

• We will feel safe and happy in our personal space and in our classroom

• We can continue to improve and develop our reputation in a positive way

• We will know what to do for our learning

We are learning to:

1. Identify the key points in non-fiction articles

2. Summarise the key points in our own words in the correct order

3. Locate and summarise ideas by skimming or scanning, by identifying key words, topic sentences and key questions, or by using subheadings

4. Identify parts of a newspaper article (like headline, byline)

Create:

1. Pick the correct day and go into the slide deck

2. Choose your article - what type? It is is in the name of the link :-)

3. Write up your key points and summarise

4. Who is your audience? Remember, they have not read this article and need to know all the key points about what happened.

5. If you need a reminder as to how to make a link for your headline, watch the video to the left.

Share:

1. Read through someone else's Kiwi Kids News (NOT the same article), and the article they read.

2. Do you agree with them? Talk to them about it.

We are learning to:

1. Identify the 8 parts of speech (what we write)

2. To write a simile

3. To work collaboratively on the same document (with a friend)

4. To write a great paragraph

Create:

1. You must choose a partner - a NEW one for each time we do this

2. ONE of you make a copy of the drawing, then SHARE with your work friend

3. Work on it together on

4. By the end of the week you must have done all THREE of these

5. It doesn't matter what order you do them - as long as you find a partner who hasn't done the same ones as you

6. Share them with Whaene Vicki
