This week for Reading we learnt about author's purpose. Authors write for a purpose/reason. These reasons are to Persuade, Inform, Explain or Entertain (PIE).First we looked at Kiwi Kids News to find a article. Then, we made a copy of the Current Events DLO and answered these questions:What is the article about?When the article was created?Where was the article was made?Why the author wrote the article?How it was made?Why do you think the author wanted you to learn from the article? I found this activity very intestinbg because i found new thing about it.

Matariki is the Maori new year celebration. It takes places each year when the cluster of stars known as Matariki are seen in our skies. The new year is a time for new beginnings and is a time to embrace tradition.To strengthen our connections to Matariki we had a choice of research activities.

I found that matariki stars come out in the early morning before dawn

Vision Board

 A vision board is a DLO about your goals and what you want to achieve. 

For my vision board I added the things that I want to achieve like being headboy and getting a trophy at prizegiving.

This activity can help people who wants a successful future. Also it can help people make their dream come true

 if they put effort into achieving that goal.

I enjoyed doing this task because it can help me to achieve my goals.
