23 March - 29 March

Kia ora 7C1. Welcome to Week 8 of Term 1. I hope you have been keeping well and supporting your family during this important lockdown. Thank you for respecting this necessary government decision and consistently doing the right things for the safety of everyone. HE WAKA EKE NOA! 

PLAN & DO / WHAKAMAHI learning intentions:

• We are PLANNING to 'hand-pick' words in a text so that we can create new meaning (through blackout poems).

Activities
This week and the next for English please complete your :

• Reading Plus
• Blackout poems if you still have one to finish. 
• Education Perfect tasks.

New Task: Challenge

• Craft another blackout poem from texts in newspapers, magazines etc. But this time, let's be even more cReaTive!  Add more colour and illustrations, and (optional) cut the text into a shape related to your poem! The words of your poem should be included in the shape. 
• Your poems could be about anything you wish to e.g. school, friendship, Covid 19, family, nature, values such a kindness, etc. etc. or just exploring how certain words somehow connect with each other (like how we did in class)!
• How about doing this with your brother/sister/ parents/ grandparents/everybody!  This will keep others involved as well and off course what a load of fun! 
• The great thing about this is that if you can craft a few, you can create your very own family art piece by putting them altogether in a frame! Bigger and different font types will look great in a frame. WOW actually I want to do this too now! 
• Take pictures of your process and the final product and share with me on the  doc I have shared with you on Google Classroom. Once I have received from everybody, we will put them all together to create our own class art piece! 
• Check Week 7 planning if you need more guidance or to share with your family about blackout poems.

Success Criteria: I can/have...

• shown creativity in crafting my blackout poems. 
• shared with Mrs Narayan.
