Kia ora. Well, that the first half of the term done and dusted.....  we are quickly approaching the official start of winter too.  This year seems to be flying by with many trips, events, special occasions and wild weather events. i wonder what the remainder of the term will bring.  This week (and for the next few weeks) you will be working on your book bingo activities.  Please remember, your bingo tasks are a GROUP activity.  Please help each other to achieve the high standard I know you are capable of.  You should not complete a task in one sesion - if you do, check with a group member and get some feedback on how to take your work up another level.  The shared work and graphic organisers we completed for "By the River" are there to support you when you are completing the tasks that have to do with the structure of short text.
