Whole Class: Smash Hit (A play)
Smash Hit, is about a group of friends, including PHILIP and ARGUS, preparing to write a play for a school camp or festival, focusing on creative writing and stagecraft.
This play has all of the parts of a narrative, so we’re going to use our narrative organiser to help us think about the story elements in this play, but we are also going to learn so much along the way!
Let's learn about this crazy, funny play!
PHOM this week: we will learn the root - graph to help our reading, spelling and vocabulary.

Narrative Writing:

Write a narrative story about you and your mates going to the beach. You could be going to the tide to get Paua or Kina for your whānau OR you could simply be going to the beach/seaside for a swim or for a surf- the reason is up to you.
Use the Narrative Organiser to help you to remember the way we structure a Narrative.
Something really strange happens - we will discuss this during class time! 🏄

PRODUCTION
Six Months In A Leaky Boat
Imagine you are on a very long trip in a boat, and that boat isn't in perfect shape—maybe it has a few tiny leaks!
The song "Six Months In a Leaky Boat" is mostly about two big things:
A Big Adventure: It's about the very long and challenging sea journey that early settlers made when they sailed to places like New Zealand (which they call "Aotearoa" in the song). It was a tough journey that took many months!
A Tough Time: It's also a way to talk about going through a really difficult or challenging period in your life. The "leaky boat" is a metaphor for a situation that feels a bit messy or hard to manage, but you are still trying your best to "keep afloat" and get through it!
So, it's a song about courage, perseverance, and overcoming a tricky situation, whether it's a real trip on the ocean or a hard time in life.
