SSR Week 8

 Non-Fiction - read an autobiography or a biography. Record your thoughts about your favourite part. On Monday the 7th of September I finished reading, The Wright Brothers by George Sullivan. In my opinion the best part in the book was when they flew the first airplane in history and how the narrator talked about how it changed their lives and many others.

SSR Week 6

 Non-Fiction - read at least three articles from a School Journal and record your thoughts about your favourite one. My favourite non fiction book this week is Game changers by Clare Bardsley. The reason I like this non fiction book is because it talks a lot about trial and error with kids around the same age as me.

 

SSR Week 6

Poetry - read at least ten poems and record your thoughts about your favourite one.

My favourite poem that i read this week is L E A V E S by Lily Ng.

The reason I like this poem is because it tells a story in a way about the

character's father's mother and the character.    

SSR Week 5

 Picture Books: read at least three picture books from within the classroom. Write a paragraph about  your favourite book. Remember to include the storyline and the illustrations in your response. Out of the three picture books I read this week my favourite one would have to be, How the Kumara Came to Aotearoa, retold by Bea Hamer, because of the art style and how it was a Maori legend. The book talked a lot about Hawaiki which is supposed to be the place where the Polynesians originate from, it was interesting because sometimes they don't mention anything about it in other Maori legends.

SSR Week 4

Graphic Novel - read one of the graphic novels from the selection provided. Record your thoughts about your favourite part. On the 5th and 6th of august I read Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevensons’s. My favourite page in the graphic novel was when Jim (The Main Character) crashes the boat into some coral creating an amazing piece of art. The art in this book was really unique and I enjoyed the art style of the sea.

Conservation Week Poetry

Te Awa Poem

Rapids flourishing, 

aquatic life 

fresh kai 

comforting kengo.                                                                                  

Protected place 

by the people

protected place for the people. 

Joyfull rapids 

drifting stones                                                        

loud laughter

cheerful homes.

Aquatic life 

a different story 

slowly declining in Whanganui.

Although this is happening the people are doing their best.
