Preparing For Asttle Writing

We are preparing for Asttle Writing- writing to describe for our beginning of year assessment.
We have been working together in groups looking at picture prompts and using the 5 senses to help us identify ways in which we could respond to what the image is about. We have been using the strategy of 'visualizing' ourselves just out of the picture frame to draw a more meaning from the picture as we can think about what we could feel, hear or see in the image.

Tomorrow Tuesday 13/2 in  P1 we have the PAT Reading Comprehension assessment.

On Thursday 15/2 in P4 we have the AsTTle writing assessment.

All of the resources  you may need to help you with this assessment can be found in your Hapara Workspace Beginning of Year

The Second Text: Kanoro from 'The Weight of Water' by Sarah Crossan

In class on Tuesday the 27 of March we are going to continue to identify the ways in which we can connect our second text,'Kanoro' to the short film, 'The Dump'. We will work together to identify the main  ideas, from both of the texts, then work to describe and explain how and why they they are similar. We will be focusing on developing full sentence answers using part of the question to frame our answer, as well as using in some of the questions the SEX-Y paragraph structure. Each lesson will continue to follow the format of writing in response to the BIG QUESTION task, then we will be continuing with our class novel, 'The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian' by Sherman Alexie. The aim for the week is to complete all written work connecting the main ideas from the second text - Kanoro to our first visual text, the short New Zealand film, 'The Dump'.
