Padlet Learning Story

We have been learning about a new tool to show our learning.  Our tool was a padlet.
You can make arrows that connect ideas or pieces of information.  You can add pictures to
show your ideas or information.

We have used a padlet to communicate our ideas about the stories we've learnt about
Porirua.  We've been thinking about how knowing our past helps us prepare for our future.

I made some connections on our class padlet.  

                                                                                                                                                                               

I connected  Governor Gray to the New Zealand company because they both bought land
and gave it to the settlers.

I connected Te Rauparaha  to Wairau valley because a big fight happened there and he was there.

I am connected to Porirua Harbour because I live here.

Reading Poetry

Reading Poetry Learning Story Term 2

Title: No sun	Author:James Brown	This poem is about the sun Going a way
How has the author made this poem effective? A rhyme-died/survived, night/candlelight
		Great words I found Survived flickered
I liked this poem because… It's cool and my type of poem because when it talks about No Sun, I think of in the dark and just peace and quiet.

Reading

Luchiano’s Term 1 Reading Learning Story

How do we make meaning from the texts we read using a range of reading strategies?

I chose this Library book to read at silent reading time because it looked cool.
I located information in the story that told me the boy is facing a monster that is made out of rock. I located this information where the book showed me it.
I worked out that the beast used to be in the rocks.   I used the clues that the beast was stomping and the pictures showed me it stomping its way to the boy.  I saw him coming out of the cracks.
I found out that an important idea in the story is the boy found the monster and the monster was about to destroy the people and the city.
I used what I know about Zac Power and ideas from the story about Boy Vs Beast to work out because nobody knows where he lives and what his name is.
I liked reading this book because it interested me and it felt like when I was 6 in room 5 reading the Zac Power books.
