Wildboy by Nidhi

  

 This week on reading, my reading group and I did reciprocal reading on a book called wild boy. It was about a boy who's name is Brando Yelavich and he wanted to be the the first person to walk around New Zealand's entire coastline. He also wrote a book about his adventurer and their are articles about him. I really enjoyed reading about him and I learned about how he survived in the wild life. And I learned that we should try taking risks and explore the world more.

Boy on a Bike by Chavda

This week I have being doing Reciprocal Reading. We read a text called A Boy on a Bike. My Reading group has  Jonthan, Alice, Jayden, Karlos, Giovanni, Te Pounamu, Joel, Sakina, Villami, Avalon and I. We all created our own Slide or DLO. In the book I was  searching for locations that Craig and Mac travelled in New Zealand on Page 4 . On the second slide it shows the questions and my answers.

Brando Yellavich - by Angela

This week we for reading me and group Waiheke read a book about Brando Yellavich. This DLO talks about his Journey and it also talks about the book. Something I have learnt form Brando Yellavich was taking risks. He was really brave and he completed his goal to raise 10,000 for the Roland McDonald Charity. I would like to know what food he survive off. I think this was hard for him as he was also diagnosed with dyslexia and ADHD. He was written two books and one that I have read is called WildBoy it talks about the challenges he faced during his Journey. Here is also a a picture I have drawn

Why Sleep Is Important|By Ofa

This term we have been working collaboratively within our READ groups to find information that will expand our knowledge about sleep. For this topic we have been answering the questions we needed to answer to create a presentation which will hopefully showcase the amount of learning and skills we have picked up along the way. Since the beginning week of this topic we have chosen a leader who helped us stay on track and made sure that we were worked collaboratively within our group. While we were trying to improve our knowledge about sleep we all partook so as a guideline we used the reciprocal reading technique. In reciprocal reading we have someone who summarises the text, a questioner, a leader, a person who helps clarify confusing material found in a text, and also a predictor. While doing this activity we were asked to book our own guided sessions as we needed help with the question, does technology effect our sleeping patterns and also we were asked to choose a time where Mrs Anderson will help us learn how to infer. To learn how to infer we looked at the rooms children around the world have to sleep in and answered does everyone get a healthy sleep. Our group answered no as some of them are at risk of getting while others are always on the lookout for danger as they sleep in an open space. To summarise our learning we created a presentation which answers all the questions asked by Mrs Anderson. Today we showed all the reading groups what we have done and we all spoke proudly and we were all proud of our efforts. While learning about sleep we learnt that melatonin was the hormone produced in our bodies to regulate our sleeping patterns. I found this interesting because I didn't know that our bodies produce more than one hormone. At the end of our reading sessions we presented our DLO's to everyone in our reading group.
