Ghost - Making a Prediction

WALT: make a prediction based on the cover and blurb of Ghost by Jason Reynolds

I was able to write down what I think the book is about before reading the blurb and after reading the blurb by looking at the front cover, the illustrations and reading the blurb.


Next time when I pick up a new book, I will read the blurb and predict what the book is about to see if I like the book. I will look at the illustrations closely.

Phases of the Moon

WALT: accurately identify and organise the phases of the moon.

I was able to Identify and organise the phases of the moon by reading the description and putting the photo's and the names of the moons in the right place. The link between the Phases of the Moon and Matariki is the winter solstice and Matariki comes right after stolstice the second new moon.

Next time I will look up at the night sky and look at the moon to see what phase it is, New Moon, Waxing Crescent, Full moon, 1st Quarter, Last Quarter, Waning Crescent, Waxing Gibbous or Waning Gibbous

Mini Investigation - Easter

WALT: Understand passing on messages is important


Me and my group (Shaniqua, Meilaniah and Caitlin) did a mini investigation on Easter. We found out the history of Easter, why we have eggs and bunnies on Easter, Why it's called Easter and When we have Easter. We also found out heaps of cool facts about Easter. It was really fun putting in all those Easter photos! `

I now understand why passing on messages is important and why we need to pass on messages correctly! If we don't keep on passing on the history and story of Easter, Easter will be forgotten and Everyone would think Easter is just a holiday with Chocolate and scavenger hunts when the history of Easter is so much more!
