Sharing, taking turns and supporting others

Nā tō rourou, nau te rourou, ka ora ai te tamariki

With your basket, and our basket, the children will thrive

We will achieve this by:

• Helping others kindly when they need help with work

• Using kind words to all and helping them to make the right decisions

• Respecting each others’ personal boundaries

• Keep our hands and feet to ourselves

• Listen to the speaker

• Thank others for helping us

• Respecting other people’s property

Success Indicator:

• 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

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

• We will have fun playing together and sharing cool things

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.

Finish the Baboon with your partner, look on the whiteboard for the definition of conjunctions and pronouns (a special type of noun).

What is a simile? Look up what it means and make one for the Baboon picture. We will then write a group paragraph about it when I am back.

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
