Making Connections

Today for Reading  I read a book with my group using responses and comments. Responses is when you say something that you have read from the book and talk about it with your group. Comments is when you reply to what the person said and give feedback. The book I  have read is non fiction. This book is called the mystery of the Kalonoro. I have learnt that a lemur is in Madagascar and in the movie Madagascar and a Kalanoro is a ghost.

Today for Reading we have read a article about snowboarding, surfing and skateboarding. What we have done first was we all went on YouTube to watch a person surfing from New Zealand to see the waves we have.We all read a paragraph of the article. We all opened our document up and started to fill in text to text, text to world and text to self. What I learnt I learnt from the 3 sports is that they have to use balance. I have learnt that these 3 sports are played in a different area.

Today for reading we are reading about the Summer Olympics. We read page 15-17. For text to text we put the Graphic news link on. For text to world we had to use our researching skills by looking up 3 facts about Eliza McCartney. The last thing we did was text to self. We wrote what our favorite athletics event is, my favorite event is long jump because I love landing in the sandpit.

Today for Making Connections I worked with Te Pounamu. We both had an idea about the Winter Olympics. My colour was blue and Te Pounamu's colour was red. We both are very different because he has played a Winter sport and I haven't played a Winter sport.

Today for Reading I did Making Connections. I have learnt something about the Winter Olympics and about snow and hail. We wrote about the Winter Olympics. We had to find a site that was about (shirtless Tongan flag bearer). Then we had to put the link on (text to text). The next thing we did was text to world. We had to write what do we know about it. So we all wrote Winter Olympics because that was the only thing we all knew. The last thing we did was text to self. We had to write our reaction to the story.
