    With your food basket and my food basket the people will thrive

    Kia ora. Welcome to week eight.  This week there are asTTle tests and it is also time for to start pulling together your bingo tasks to develop your book fair presentation.  This term our concept has been through art we thrive.  How does this link to our book fair? Is literature a form of Art?  Are there rules about structure that help the viewer gain understanding and receive messages through writing?  Is Art the communication of ideas from one person to another and open to the individual interpretation of the viewer?  Does reading make us better or more able to deal with our environment?  By the end of this week you need to have all your bingo tasks completed (to the standard you know I have set for you).  You will then have to decide how you are going to share this with your audience (Year 8 & 9 classes and possibly an invite to Year 7 and 10's to visit and view too).  I am not sure of the exact timing yet as it will need discussion with other teacher, but I envisage the end of week 9/start of week 10.  Focus Friday week 9 seems the easiest time at the moment as you will be in home bases session 3 & 4 so you could set up for presentation in 3 and present in 4.  I am sure the teacher looking after you for the rest of the term will let you know.
