Reading



Shared Reading: we listened to and read the song "From Little Things, Big Things Grow". I love this song and the way Paul Kelly and Kev Carmody sing together. I can "picture" the scenes unfolding as I listen to the text. Here is my PDF of my story - I read each page and drew a picture in Paint.Net in response to each page.

Guided Reading: we read a book called "Mummies". I learnt what happens to a person in Egypt after they have passed away. It was a bit gross to read about some of the parts - such as using a hook to get the brain out - but it was really interesting.

Independent Reading / SQUIRT: I sometimes like reading in this time, but not always. I have to have a book I'm interested in or else I get distracted and don't concentrate. I like to read Andy Griffiths' books, I love his sense of humour. I sometimes forget to write in my diary every night, so I have to make sure I do this next semester!

Term 2 Shared Reading: we read a poem with Miss. S titled "Lost Generation". The poem starts off being negative about the world and how lots of awful things happen. It describes a terrible view of our world - one that we live in today. The 2nd half of the poem though, shows how we can turn those negatives around and make the world a better place to live.
