MANA Goal

Manakitanga - Settling back into class after the bell goes, knowing the expectations.

He waka eke noa.

We will achieve this by:

• Going to the toilet at the start of our break

• Putting PE equipment and bikes/scooters away 5 mins before the main bell goes

• Going straight to class the moment the bell rings

• Have our drinks in the classroom container and not lining up at the drinking fountain after the bell

• Remembering our classroom rules when we arrive in class and following them

• Respecting our bell times and classroom teachers who are waiting for us

• Bringing any issues during breaks straight to a Duty Teacher at the time, not waiting until classroom time

• Having our classroom equipment ready and tidy at all times

• Knowing what we are doing after the break so we are ready for learning with whatever equipment our teacher told us to have out (if applicable)

Success Indicator:

• We can start class on time and together as a team

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

• We will be thanked for arriving on time and ready to learn

• We won’t be wasting time we could spend learning, or having other classroom fun time

• 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
