Section outline


  • Kia ora. Hope you are all doing well, and managing to learn a new skill or try a new activity during level 4.  I have been working on my crochet skills (I have never been able to crochet before) and I also spent some time getting weeds out of my garden!  Next week, I might even start my vege seeds so I can plant them out when the weather gets a bit warmer!  This week, we are going to spend some time defining the quest we will be sending our protagonist on in our fantasy writing, and also looking at how we can create a sense of tension in our writing.

    FOCUS / ARONGA

    FOCUS / ARONGA learning intentions:

    • We are FOCUSING on the elements we will need to plan to write our own fantasy stories, choosing the actions our characters will take and describing our characters. We are identifying setting (place and time) and explaining how our character moves from the real world into the fantasy world.
