Brining Back the Birdsong

WALT:  work out the meaning of unknown words by using clues in the text.
Task description: This week we were learning about pests and predators for reading. The article we read was about bringing back the birdsong to a national park in Fiordland. We were focusing on using clues from the text to help us understand new words we came across. For our follow up task we had to find words from the story for every letter of the alphabet as well as finding out the dictionary definition for some of the works. Check out my task above. Please feel free to leave me a positive comment on my blog!

The Hungry Wave

Task description: This week we were learning to find clues within the text and read between the lines to understand the hidden meaning to make a conclusion or an assumption. We read a story called The Hungry Wave which was a story about a tsunami that happened in Sāmoa and Tonga. We were learning all about Tonga this week so we would make connections with what we had learnt and the story we read.
