Joy Text - The Learning In Rongokako Today Today in Rongokako we read the text Joy. The text was an informative text while also being about finding joy in the ocean. We sketchnoted the text and found Connections, Language Features, and Vocabulary. The text was written with a range of language features like a story but in the form of an essay, factual and informative. We learned about what a registered piece of writing is and how different authors use this to inform the tone of what they are sharing. The way this informative text is written keeps the reader interested because Llyod uses an informal manner to share some serious content about the sea. I really enjoyed the way he talked about a rip at sea because he pretty much said that you relax yourself and go with the rip until you are clear. Once beyond the rip you are able to get yourself back to safety. Which part of the text did you enjoy the most or make a connection with and why? By Daniel Lott
The final week of #NZreadaloud for Term 2! It has flown by - but what an amazing set of texts we have studied and been inspired by. This week we look at 'Cosmic Pancakes' by Kelda Hains. The challenge at the end is this ... Don't worry if you go into next week with your Masterchef Pancake Bake-off. It would be fab to see some photos on the blog as you complete the activities.

We've finally got ourselves together here at Te Puru School! We posted to Twitter after we made a whole load of cool biscuits (our own style!)...but Twitter swallowed the videos and they disappeared! In the middle of illness, days out and full-on crazy going on, we took time to create our own sculpture based on last week's text. Each part represents the creator in some way. I'll let the students explain their own art. Here we all are with our sculpture... My box's meaning really represents me in a way only I truly understand. The bottom half is my history. World war 2 (the nazi flag) Covid (you'll find virus signs around the whole box) and patterns in the middle. The different patterns represent my different life. The waves on the edges represent change and the colours in them represent the English flags colours. At the top is the present. Airplanes at the top represent my move. Cats with love hearts around them represent the love for my cat, Tibbs. The two robbi...
What are we going to be doing for week 2? Reading the poster? I don't get it sorry. Am I missing something?
