Homework Term one Week Two (Feb 2-5)

Hi Room 6. Apologies for the lateness of this, I thought I'd posted it and only just realised I hadn't!

Main Task – Room 6 Whakatauki

Now that we’ve discussed it in class you should all understand what a Whakatauki is. Your main task this week is to research online and find a Whakatauki which you think would be appropriate for Room 6 to use as our own Whakatauki, at least for Term one this year.

1.     Find a Whakatauki you like and copy it into your book.

2.     Find out it’s translation into English and write it in your book.

3.     Write a short paragraph explaining what you think the writer of the Whakatauki was trying to say to people.

4.     Write a paragraph explaining why you think this would be a good Whakatauki for Room 6 to adopt as our Whakatauki for Term one.

Task Two: Reading book and Public Library card

1.     From now on we will be having regular reading sessions in Room 6. Sometimes Mr Yeoman will have reading for you but you will also need your own chapter book to read. Please find a chapter book, either from home, from the school library, or from the public library, before the end of the week.

2.     We will soon visit the public library, please bring your library card to school, Mr Yeoman will photocopy it so you can return it home again immediately. This means when we visit the public library you can issue books. If you brought your library card to Miss Passmore or Mr Yeoman last year then you don’t need to worry about doing this as we already have copies of yours.
