Home Learing Blog (For This Week)

Kia Ora Bloggers!

In today's post, it will be another one of my home learning posts.

Unlike every other term, this term, I and a few of my peers made up some of these ideas with the help of our classmates. This means, that it was made by students for students. This means, that although they will be a bit harder to do, they may also be a little bit more fun and a little less..... boring.

For our 'Home Learning' We need to do these things:

- Read for 20 minutes each evening at home

-  4 progressions or 40 minutes on Math-Whizz

- One home learning blog post each week

- Any extra things we need to do

If you would like to check out our 'Home Learning' through our site, here is the link.

Today's activity is "Make Yourself an Author"

Home Learning//Make Yourself an Author

When I was in year 3, we were learning about Castles. Motes, Arrowslits etc....

We got to the point where we knew quite a few facts, It was actually pretty impressive. So, our teacher said that we were each going to make a book about it.

First, we had to choose what 4 things we wanted to write facts about & draw. After that, we made our front cover, on with we had to write (Author, Illustrations) By "name". We wrote our introduction & conclusions. Finally, we got to that juicy part, we got to start making our 4 facts. Each fact had 1 page and a picture to go along with them.

After they were finished, we were all quite impressed with ourselves. Our teacher was so impressed that she made something very cool happen...

She tried to get it so that we could get them in the school library, barcodes & everything. It happened and it was amazing and I am and was very happy about that.

Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find the book, so if I find it I will update this blog :)

This experience to have as a young kid was pretty cool, it was all very exciting.

I hope you enjoyed and I will see you next time!
