Keeping our classroom tidy and putting equipment back where it belongs.

He rau ringa e oti ai - Many hands makes light work

We will achieve this by:

• Putting our property away when we’ve finished into our tote trays

• Hanging our bags and coats up on the hangers properly and our shoes on it too

• Putting all game pieces away in the games cupboard in their boxes

• Respect other people’s property

• Help others out when they need a hand to clean up, even if you didn’t make the mess

• Putting the felt tips, coloured pencils and jovis back in the proper containers

• Staying in one area with our activity so it is easier to clean up afterwards

• We will do the assigned jobs we have to do to help our classmates and school

Success Indicator:

• We will have tidy and clean classroom

• We will feel proud of our classroom

• We will be a great team together

• All of our equipment will be clean and tidy and not get broken on the floor

• We will be really quick at cleaning up because we know where everything goes

• We will be friendly and happy to have supportive friends around us

• Our friends and adults will be proud of the positive choices we have made

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
