Week 6 and 7 Word Work

Hi it's Miriam here. Today I am going to share with you my Word Work for Week 6 and 7. The learning behind our Word Work is reading an article on Kiwi Kids News, Dogo News or Tween Tribune and answering questions about that article in your own words.

An example question is: Who was the main person in this news article, when did this news article take place, why did the news article take place and rewrite this news article using your own words but those are just a few of the 12 questions you need to answer. Also along with all the questions you have to answer you have to do an activity about that news article the thing is, you have to do a different activity each week until you have done all of them then you can do the same one again. The activities are on a google that is on our class learner hub along with the questions we have to answer.

The activities are not art or drama activities they are activities that have you explain your learning, learn new words, write down what you think you know about the story, what you want to know about the story and what you learnt from the story as well as finding different articles in different categories with certain people in a certain place. Now I am going to show you my Week 6 and 7 Word Work. I hope you enjoy it.

Cafe Day

Hi, it's Miriam here. Today I am going to share with you some writing about our Cafe Day that we hosted a couple weeks ago for the elderly of Gisborne. The main reason that we had Cafe Day was because of our last terms focus Actions Speak Louder than Words. Actions Speak Louder than Words is instead of just saying something nice to somebody you would do something nice for them like bringing them a cup of coffee or helping them across the street, pushing their trolley/shopping cart in the supermarket so that they can get around much easier or getting something off the shelf. Even just something small like giving them a hug or pulling out a chair for them so that they can sit down can change someone's day from a bad one to a fantastic one. My learning from Cafe Day was that you can do anything you want if you just put your mind to it and not give up. So without further to do I will let you read my amazing writing about cafe day I hope you enjoy it:
