More pop art!

 Because we loved learning about Romero Britto and his beautiful pop art, we thought we would learn how to make our very own digital pop art. Sticking to cats, the students in Kotare created these wonderful Digital Ca Pop Art.

Reading Learning Reflection

 WALT: make justified predictions - Margaret Mahy

I enjoyed reading the story lost because it was nice how Finn and the little monster became friends.

 I learnt to make predictions before reading, during reading and after reading. 

We found it difficult to make a prediction sometimes because we didn't want it to be wrong. 

WALT: use our prior knowledge as we read- Dr Suess  

We enjoyed reading the book called pigs because we learnt lots of facts about pigs.

We learnt how to brainstorm all our prior knowledge about a book before we read it. 

We found it difficult to read our text because some of the words had been cut off.

Who's the best?

This week we read a play called who's the best? It was a play about the planets, who decide to have meeting with the Sun.
It was a very funny play and we enjoyed film short clips. Mrs Hall helped us to put it all together onto iMovie. Here is is so we hope you enjoy it.
