Waiata o te wiki
This week we are learning the Tokomaru patere.
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
Using kind words that make people feel great
Success Indicator:
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
Identify the key points in non-fiction articles
Summarise the key points in our own words in the correct order
Locate and summarise ideas by skimming or scanning, by identifying key words, topic sentences and key questions, or by using subheadings
Identify parts of a newspaper article (like headline, byline)
Pick the correct day and go into the slide deck
Choose your article - what type? It is is in the name of the link :-)
Write up your key points and summarise
Who is your audience? Remember, they have not read this article and need to know all the key points about what happened.
If you need a reminder as to how to make a link for your headline, watch the video to the left.
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.

What is persuasive writing? It's where you put down your point of view and try to get someone else to listen to you and perhaps, take your side!
Persuasive writing is in things like:
Advertisements - on TV, online, trying to sell you something and telling you how good it is - buy it now!
Politicians - lots of politicians try and make us believe what they are saying so we will vote for them
Movie and TV Show reviews - to let you know what they thought of the show and if you should watch them
YOU use persuasive speech when you are trying to convince someone to buy you McDonalds!
There are lots more: speeches, interviews, protest letters, letters to the government from people, lawyers use persuasive speech in court to convince the judge not to convict (or by the prosecution to get the person convicted!)
Using our chromebooks, we need to practice our typing. Whaene Vicki can type WITHOUT looking! This is called touch typing. You have to practice a lot to get to that stage, but you can get better and USE MORE THAN ONE FINGER if you practice just a little bit!
Remember to have your headphones on, or your sound turned off.
The more you practice the faster you will become. KEEP TRYING. It gets easier.
