We are writing reports. So we needed to remember how to write one. We even broke down the description for the purpose of two different reports.
Kia Ora,
The Ponder this week is whether we would rather starve or dehydrate.
I would rather be suffering from dehydration because you can get water and liquid from food. If you don’t eat you can get liver cancer. You will die faster because you are dehydrated. I would rather die faster than slower.
What would you prefer and why?
Kia Ora, we have had a big focus on Reading and what we like to read. We did a survey and discussed the results. Each week we read silently, in fact, we had time nearly every day. The teacher tries to out loud at least 4 times a week too. That book this term is Hatchet and that is why our ponder is based on a book. – See the post 2 back.
This week we had to pick our current favourite book of all time, take a photo of the book and us, and add it to a class set of slides. Then we have to sell the book to others. Talk about why we think it is the best book EVER! (They are also printed and up on our wall just outside our class so the class next door can see what we recommend as great books.)

What is your favourite book? Why?
In reading time one of our tasks is learning about idioms. My favourite idioms from this week is ‘In the driver’s seat’ – it means to be in charge.
Our idioms page starts like this –
Then we complete the idioms and find the meaning of at least 5.
When we have done that we have to highlight one we know and could use in our writing and one blue that we didn’t know that we might use in our writing.
In our class, the teacher is the top banana and calls the shots, although some of the children would like to try to be and end up playing second fiddle.
Can you see which idioms I have used?
Have you tried using idioms in your writing to make it more show and not tell?
