Samoan Language Week

This week was Samoan Language Week. In Room 6 we learnt a lot about Samoa and the Samoan culture. We watched Cultural Hub clips about the Samoan alphabet, animals and body parts. Did you know that the Samoan alphabet has only 17 letters? Also during reading time room 6 did a scavenger hunt on facts about Samoa, where they searched the classroom for clues to complete their Samoan puzzle. We had experts teaching us greetings and phrases, our experts were Matila, Remy and Rosa.  

Smile

Today in reading we drew pictures of characters from the book we were reading. I am reading "Smile" by Raina Telgemeier, so I drew Raina. Around her I wrote some of her main personalty traits like Fun and Friendly. I look forward to finishing this book. 

book week and production

Last week was book week. We all dress up as book characters so I went as Lucie from "Dance Class". 

Last week we also did our school production. I was a lead role as well as a dancing Barbie. It was about a toy shop where at night all the toys come alive. In the play I was Amy who is a little girl who comes to the shop and buys a Jack in the box. It was a lot of fun! 

Japan

For reading we have been practicing our research skills. I chose to study Japan. Here is my research.
