  • I orea te tuatara ka patu ki waho 

    A problem is solved by continuing to find solutions

    Kia ora. I would like to challenge you all to try something really scary this week.  I would like you to turn your camera's on in class so I don't feel like I am teaching (or talking to) a computer screen.  I know this makes some of you uncomfortable (I know it is not my favourite thing to do) so I am giving you a link to a filter app.  I have been using this one on my calls and meets and it is making me way less conscious about them.  Have some fun - there are lots of filters to choose from - I look forward to teaching a class of princesses, or shreks, or even people with beards :-)

    This week we are going to look at reading comprehension strategies - these are all the things you do when you are reading to get meaning from the text.  There is a text and activity sheet on google classroom for you to complete.
