    Let us enjoy the spirit of entertainment.

    Kia ora. It's Week TWO!!!!! I know, it seems like we have not been at school for that long.  This weekend is the King's Coronation.  I wonder if our letters have reached Buckingham Palace yet.....  I posted them on Saturday (the day after Good Friday) and sent them airmail so they should be there.....  I wonder if we will get a response.  Remember, you used your personal address in the letter, so any responses will go to your houses.  How exciting is it going to be if someone gets a reply!! This week we are going to continue looking at short stories and identifying the elements of an extended text we explored last week. We are going to look at how characters are developed - and the role they play in the text (protagonist, antagonist etc.)

    •  I can list elements in an extended text
    • I can retell the main points of the extended text
    • I can identify the main characters in the extended text
    • I can define key words about the structure of extended texts
