    Ways to do this include: Watching the News on TV at 6pm most nights

    Read Stuff, NZ Herald or Kiwi Kids News online

    Well, I won't see you this week as I am at camp with Year 7.

    Anything else you need, such as the School Journal or Atlases, are in the F3 cupboard.

    We are learning to read for meaning by identifying new vocabulary (words) and ensuring we understand them
    We are learning to write in our own words by: 
    Reading a text
    Closing the text
    Rewriting what we understood by using words we use in our everyday speech
    We are using a reference source, such as an Atlas, to locate and/or confirm our knowledge

    Success Criteria

    Using the written text from the School Journal, group your ideas into 3 categories. The past, present and future.
    Using a contents page, identify and use the best map in an Atlas to begin learning about the countries in our world and the regions within NZ

    Home Learning

    Are you in a routine yet? A routine makes it easier to maintain a new habit.

    If you are in the habit of looking at Current Events each day you are more likely to do it again the next day and then the day after that too.

    Remember you have choices about how you keep up with this task. Some people prefer listening the News on TV at 6pm each day. Some people prefer to read for themselves by going to Stuff, NZ Herald or Kiwi Kids News.
