Waiata o te wiki
This week we are learning the Tokomaru patere.
We will achieve this by:
Blogging about our writing and our reading work on our edublogs.
Taking photos of our mahi on our ipads for Hero.
Sharing our work with our classmates.
Supporting our classmates by only saying uplifting things to them about their work; not putting them down for not knowing something.
Success Indicator:
We will feel good about our learning which will help us to learn more.
We will feel happier.
People will feel happier for us!
We will know what it feels like to feel proud about ourselves and our mahi.
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.
Use the video above to remind yourself how to make a linked headline.

There are lots of types of sentences.
Short ones.
Long ones that have connections between them and they help us to make things sound more interesting.
A simple sentence has:
a subject (WHO or WHAT?)
a verb or action/doing word (what is happening?)
a full stop at the end
a capital letter at the start
it makes sense
you don't need any more information to understand what is going on - it isn't a fragment of a sentence, but a whole one.
Copy this slide deck to your LITERACY folder.
Complete the activities.
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.
