Whāia te mātauranga hei oranga mō koutou 

Seek after learning for the sake of your wellbeing

Kia ora. You have all worked so well over the past two weeks, crating one pagers for your notes, and then writing paragraphs in response to your texts.  Ka pai!  This week, we are going to spend some time uploading assessments (Monday) and then look at the writing you are doing in other curriculum areas to support with structure and language. Please think about how I can best support your writing.  What can I do to help you succeed?  We are also going to visit the library and return the texts we have been studying.  Remember to bring them to schol on Monday.  You will then be able to select a bok to read for pleasure.  Selecting and reading a range of texts that challenge your thinking and ideas is a great way to improve your comprehension skills and will lead to successs in many areas.
