16 March - 22 March

Kia ora. I hope you all enjoyed our library session on Friday - I really enjoyed seeing you connect with a book - it was fantastic to see how many of you choose the first book you selected.  That shows me what an awesome librarian Mrs Townsend its, because she selected the books that were put out on the tables for you! I hope you saw some books that were new to you - sometimes seeing then as a collection of genre rather than alphabetical by author gives you a new path to travel on your reading journey.  This week we are going to work on our shared assessment task for English and Global Studies.  For both subject areas you are presenting your short text about kiwiana, and then you will have a specific piece of writing about poetic techniques for English and Kiwiana's link to National Identity for Global Studies.  I am really looking forward to reading your texts.
