Sally Sutton’s Visit To PBS

This week PBS was very lucky to meet Sall Sutton. The very first thing that Sally Sutton did was to introduced herself and tell a little bit about her, The next thing that Sally Sutton did was read a book, The intresting thing about it was that the idea wasn’t actually from her It was from her agent, When you are an agent make sure the book is nice and fix any mistakes.

 

The book that she was going to read to us is called Cat From Muzzle, This book is about Dwayne is a rumble-tumble tabby cat who knows where he belongs – up on the farm at Muzzle Station. So, when he’s taken to live far away in the town of Kaikoura, what’s a cat to do? Shake the dust off his paws and start walking, of course! The trouble is, home is a very long way away, Comment how you think the story will end.

Make sure to leave a comment and have a look at the photo.

Chinese New Zealanders by Helen Wong

This week in our guided reading sessions, we read the story of Chinese New Zealanders, written by Helene Wong. We learnt about the history of migration, the challenges faced by this community, and their significant contributions to New Zealand society. As a creative follow-up task, we created a DLO that showed our new understanding of Chinese New Zealanders according to the text we read.

POV in “Aunties”

In this week’s reading lesson, we read the story “Aunties” by Maria Samuela. Our learning intentions were to understand how point of view affects storytelling and how to use quotes from the text to support our answers.
We learned about different points of view, like first-person, second-person, and third-person. The first-person point of view in “Aunty” helped us feel closer to the narrator’s emotions and experiences, especially during family gatherings and times of sadness.
By picking out important quotes, we noticed how the narrator felt and how those feelings changed how we understood the story. This helped us see why the author chose to write about family and connection.
I did well at not interupting people when they talk and to make sure everyone is included.

Addition Poster

Today, I had the opportunity to create a poster about [maths concept] as part of our maths lesson. This poster is designed to break down the concept into easy-to-understand parts, using my own words and examples. I included 2-3 example problems to show how [maths concept] works in practice and provided clear solutions to help anyone who might be struggling with it. I also added a diagram to visually explain the concept, making it more engaging. I hope this poster helps others understand [maths concept] better and makes learning maths fun! Check it out below!
