Explain Everything - show what you have learnt this week about...

In reading this week the Kiwikiwi and Karaka reading groups have been reading non-fiction texts about spiders, insects and living dinosaurs.

We have explored the texts to ask and answer questions about these creatures and the children chose to share their learning using Explain Everything.

We shared them today and have given feedback to each other about what worked well how we could improve them next time.

We'd love to know what you think too.

Reading: Kōwhiringa Use your Imagination

This week some of our Kōwhiringa learners read about a girl called Clare who went on an adventure leaving the library.

The learners were challenged to create a map of her journey. They could do this any way they saw fit.

Take a look below.

Reading: Kōwhiringa - The Ants and the Grasshopper

During Week 2 of Term 3 some of our Kōwhiringa readers in Kōtuku read the story of The Ants and the Grasshopper. Miss Skinner set the challenge to take their learning and retell it as a movie to share with the rest of Kōtuku. This group of students have done such an amazing job, and we can't wait to see what they come up with next. Well done everyone!
