In order to do that red bus two geese to alert him if anyone tries to trespass and try to steal his car. Fred chose geese because they used to alert roman soldiers when the enemy had come to attack them.

Our task was to create a DLO (Digital Learning Object) showcasing words we know starting with the Letter Q, and words we don’t know starting with Q.  It was really fun and interesting doing because we got to learn new vocabulary, and we were able to do this activity with our friends.   

    A provocation is a topic which brings our strong emotion within somebody. This provocation was about Olympic venues and should countries that host the Olympics spend billions on these facilities just for them to not be used again. In this task we formed an informed opinion on whether we thought it was a good idea or bad idea to build these venues.      

L.I: To compare the past and present rules.     For this reading activity we were tasked to compare the olympics rules from the past and the present using a venn Diagram. There was a big difference between the past olympic rules and the present. The rules that stayed the same was no shoving, no holding, no cutting of other racers. This task was interesting because I learnt there are heaps of rules in the Olympics

This text was about a man named Poros who competed in the sprints in the ancient olympics. Poros had won this event in the olympics prior so he had to win or they would have been made fun of.

After the story we were tasked to identify the main ideas in the text. For the Three Vital Ideas were Registered refugees can't be sent back to their country, The Refugees wanted people to know their story and many families moved to New Zealand because their country is too dangerous.

What would have happened to their country after the war had happened? Why might have the Kaka family chose to  move to Syria instead of somewhere else? When should it have been the right time for people to flee the country? Where could they have gone if they didn't come to New ...

 LI: To celebrate reading  For book week we created something called our reading pathways it was a fun activity because we got to remember our favorite books in our childhood. These were my favorite books, some of my teachers read to me and some I read myself.
