  • Ehara taku toa i te toa takitahi, engari he toa takitini

    Success is not the work of an individual, but the work of many


    Kia ora, it was great to see so many of you in the PINK last week to support kindness week.  Remember, it is not the colour of the cloths you wear that make you an upstander - it is the actions you take to make your environment (people, places, things) better because you're there! This week, we are going to complete the reading and literature circle activities for your group books.  Starting next week, you group will have activities to complete and the notes you have made in your group scrapbook and your group discussions will be really helpful. Your literature circle meetings will happen on Wednesday! We have library on Thursday so make sure you know where the books you issued are so that you can return them this week.

    Success Criteria:

        • Identify and describe with examples text elements 
        • Summarise using a simple framework (somebody, wanted, but, so, then)
        • Express a personal response to a text

    Activities:

    1. Complete required reading (Finish book!)
    2. Complete literature circle activities
    3. Group sharing
    4. Personal reflection on groups success and personal effort
