Venn Diagram

Kia Ora Bloggers!

We have been learning about  the different ways people celebrate Christmas around the world. I decided to make a Venn diagram to show things that are the same and different in New Zealand and Mexico. When this are the same, you can compare them. When things are different, you contrast them. I hope you like my diagram.

Merry Christmas!

Reading week  2 Term 1 2018 This week’s goals: Learn: How to recognise, ask and answer literal questions. Success criteria: Read texts and be able to think of a literal question based on that text. Use the key words What, Where, Who and When as sentence starters for your literal questions. Answer literal questions posed by other people. Create:   DLOs on which to record answers to questions/activities based on the Treaty of Waitangi. (from several sources). Scroll down for more information and links

On Monday of this week you will be working independently. Go to this document and follow the instructions. You need to read texts attached to the page so that you can answer the questions and create your own DLO to show your learning.

Tuesday: Waitangi Day-You will not be at school.

Wednesday:  You will have a workshop with your teacher. In order to show that you have met the learning goals above you need to do 2 things with this sheet. Step 1. Find your named box and write a literal question that could be answered by someone who has just read your text about the Treaty of Waitangi. Step 1 will be completed while you are with the teacher.
