 * __Literacy__**

Become a better reader - focus on reading in class and 20 minutes a night at home. Comprehension activities designed to activate our prior knowledge, encourage us to ask questions and to predict events in our reading are all being taught in class. Writing - we've learned to write recounts, procedures, descriptions and now we're working on information reports We have three groups in writing, each lesson we are either learning with Mr Wilson, free writing any piece of writing or publishing finished work. We have been focusing strongly on planning, punctuation, capitals and proof-reading. We will now learn more about paragraphs and past, present and future tense.


 * __PE__**

We are learning about invasion games, where we have to invade the territory of another team. We have played football and touch rugby. We had a tournament for touch rugby and NZ won (hopefully a good sign for the World Cup later in the year).


 * __ICT/Topic__**

We have been learning about disasters and the past few weeks have been busy. We have made a keynote presentation in groups to show our own disaster plan for room 8. These will be on our wiki very soon.


 * __Te reo__**

We are learning a song and haka in class with new actions. Not only are we learning the Maori song but we are learning the English translation so we understand what we are singing.
