Term Two Week Five

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 start working in small groups to unpack a short story.  We will use the same process we used when looking at "By the River" but this time your group will be working through the tasks without my direct intervention.  You will be able to use the graphic organisers and your models from last week and will be able to work at a group to complete the tasks. We have library on Thursday so make sure you know where the books you issued are so that you can return them this week.
