    • Writing and spelling focus.

      Quick Write: Vaping should be legal.

      What is your opinion? Aim to write two paragraphs giving reasons to support your argument. You will be given 5 minutes at the end to revise and edit in another colour.

      Spelling/word pattern focus: ______el   _____al

      Discuss, research and list words that have these endings. 


      Reading focus.

      We continue our practice tasks on book reviews and focus on NZ authors. We will also look at one author in more detail. Sometimes it can be useful to know something about an author's life as it can help us understand the reason why they choose to write for a particular audience or uses a setting they know well.

      Words you need to be very comfortable using: review, plot, setting, characters, rating, purpose.
