Theme

 Moral of the story

For the past 2 weeks we have been doing drama and reading mixed.  We are doing drama with Miss Clark and reading with Miss Birch.  In reading,  we have been looking at what the moral of the story is,  the theme.  Shelby and I have been doing the theme of Tangled.  Our DLO is a google slide.  Here is our slide.

I think next time I want to do a Roald Dahl book or David Walliams book because I like their books.  I think they should do a book together.

Do you like reading ? 

What type of books do you like reading ?

Non-Fiction Reading Activity

Non-Fiction Reading Activity

In reading,  for a couple weeks we have been looking at some protests.  Some of the things we have looked at is Women Rights or just protests in general.   We had to use this chart and make a 3-in-a-row bingo.  They had a question on them you would answer.  Here is what I did.

Non-Fiction Reading Activity

Opinions:

What is your opinion on the topic you read about ?  How do you feel about the issue ? 

My opinion on this is I think it’s really unfair about them only paying the women half of what they gave the men.  I feel really angry and kind of sad because it should always be even for everything,  especially money.  

What I learned:

What are two new pieces of information that you learned from the text?  

I learned about women rights and what happened back in the day.  I also learned about 2011 earthquakes that changed the country forever.  I am very sad that it happened but also don’t regret that it happened because it makes Christchurch into the Christchurch we love.

Interesting fact:

Explain the most interesting thing you learned from the reading and why it stood out for you. Be specific and reference the text.

The most interesting part of the reading that I really liked was the bit where I found out women mostly have equal rights right now.  It should be all equal but I hope its all equal one day.

Try guess what bingo I did!   

What do you think of my ideas and thoughts ?

WW1

Women in WW1

This week and a little bit of last week we had to make a DLO about the women in Word War 1.  I made a google drawing.  We had to answer and few questions and do a paragraph about the women in WW1.  This is my google drawing.

I think that the women in WW1 should have been paid the same as the men did.  They should have got paid the same because they are doing the same jobs.  I think the women should have got a choice if they work or not.  If they chose not to they should have still got paid so they can still live.  The women should always get paid the same as any men because if it's the same job then say pay,  that's how it should have worked. 

Primary and Secondary Source

Primary and Secondary Source

Primary and secondary sources are almost the same but different.   This is what I have learnt from Secondary sources. 

Primary sources is the original source of information.  It could be a diary,  manuscript,  recording,  etc.  Primary sources is usually is more important the Secondary sources.

Secondary sources is the after story.  It's what happens after what you have already heard from the Primary sources.  Secondary gets the information from the primary sources,  A book,  textbook,  website, etc.

The Paper Boy

The Paper Boy

The Paperboy is a really good book by Vince Vawter.  In this book a young boy who has a stuttering problem.  He takes over his friends Rat's paper route while Rat is at a farm visiting his grand parents.  The boy struggles with his stutter so much that he is scared for Friday to come around,  collection day.  

1:  Why is this book a good book to read ?
I think it's a good book to read because it can show people they aren't alone with their stutter problem.
2: What do you think of the book and why ?
I think the book is great because it doesn't get boring at all for me but I'm not sure about other people.
