Tiger in a Zoo

Our Literacy Starter this week has been the poem "Tiger in a Zoo". The trailer to the film "Madagascar" really helped us to make connections (text to the text) to the meaning in the poem. These connections helped us to visualise with our five senses and build our understanding of the text.

Good use of your reading strategies Room 18!

I Believe I Can Fly

We used the lyrics of R. Kelly's 'I Believe I Can Fly' as the text for our literacy starter. It was nice to have Room 19 in the class. They helped us to make connections and visualise. We used these strategies to help us identify the writer's purpose.

Play the video if you want to sing along!

Making Connections: Text to World

Yasmin used Comic Life to show her Text to World connection. The Christchurch earthquake has affected us all in some way.
Our love and support for the people of Christchurch will be shown again on Friday, when we have a Red and Black fundraising day.

Making Connections: Text to Self

Summer used Comic Life to show one of the connections she made when reading Twister. Reanna captured the moment with a great photo.
