MANA Goal - Reflecting on and celebrating my learning

We will achieve this by:

• Checking our work when we have finished: is it my best effort? Is there something I could have done better? Can I do better next time? What help do I need to get better?

• Making sure we understand what the instructions are by listening to the teacher

• Making small goals we can reach for and achieve in our work and reaching for them

• Taking a photo of the work we are proud of during the week and submitting it to go on Hero for our caregivers to see

• Trying again and again with something hard

• Talking to others and getting their feedback on how you are going with your work

• Knowing that sometimes we don’t know things or can’t do things well - YET - but we keep trying

Success Indicator:

• We will feel proud about our mahi knowing we tried super hard

• Everyone is happier

• We make our friends feel better by complimenting their work

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
