We finally have a class photo!
We really enjoyed the reading this week. We had so many laughs, especially the part about when the new boy from Samoa started Sofia's school and had everyone in fits of laughter - we were too!
We were inspired to learn more about Rakau and how to use them so we spent a bit of time on that, to the song "E Papa Waiari". It's pretty tricky to keep time and not speed up! We had to concentrate pretty hard.
We have begun a few class padlets too. We will add to these throughout the whole book read.
Thoughts / Wonderings / Questions
We also started learning how to use Google Drawings to create a timeline, looking at things that were happening in the 1970s.
We found the reading this week hilarious! We talked about how laughter fuels the soul and it's so good to be able to laugh at yourself. We all make mistakes. They give us something to learn from.
