Ghost - Making a Prediction



WALT: make a prediction based on the cover and blurb of Ghost by Jason Reynolds.

I was able to predict why I think the illustrations are on the cover and why these pictures have been used and also I predicted the story good. I predicted what illustrations would been on the cover.

Next time I am going to try and predict more and read the text and blurb slowly.

Matariki Celebration - Phases of the Moon


WALT: accurately identify and organise the phases of the moon.

I learnt that there are 8 phases of the moon and that waxing means bigger and waning means smaller.
I only knew the New Moon, Full Moon, 1st quarter and last quarter.

Next time I will find more information about the Waning and Gibbous.

Boxing Day



WALT: understand passing on messages is important so we understand why we celebrate.

In my group (Me, Everest and Coco) did a slideshow about Boxing Day. We were able to choose to do Boxing day, Labour Day, Queens Birthday and Easter. We wrote facts about Boxing day and did when, what, where and why.  We also put in some pictures and we put a video which explained about Boxing Day.

I think Boxing day is important because it celebrates when the servants of the wealthy go and visit their family and they are given box with food and gifts.
