Room One I am a very proud teacher. On the whole your homework over the past fortnight has been sensational. Most of you stepped up a level in your presentation as well as the depth of your work. Your poems about the sea were beautiful I have put a few examples on our blog. Now the world can enjoy them.
How will you improve your homework this time? Perhaps you will present it differently, or use linked handwriting, or complete an optional activity…
Annie Rae Te Ake Ake spoke to us last week about making a bank of words in our heads. She encouraged us to be tellers of tales, to enjoy poetry and songs and to observe carefully. I would like you to observe the night and write all of the details you notice this next fortnight. Take a blanket and make sure that you go on your own so you are not distracted. Do it a couple of times at least. Notice the changes from each night.
This fortnight we will be focusing on the 70s. Collect information, fashion, music, inventions, events from the 70s. The decade of nuclear issues in NZ, Saturday Night fever, Rocky Horror, Elvis died, the Vietnam War continues, the Beatles break up, and Rolling Stones, when did the ‘punk’ trend start…
You will eventually be selecting an event from the 70s to create a project on. Your home research will help with this. Keep Mum and Dad informed about this.
List as many words as you can about the 70s. Define at least ten of them.
Timestable focus 8x. Mix them up. Go past 12.
Even though homework is for a fortnight I would like you all to bring your homework in this Friday so that I can see how you are progressing and that you are NOT putting it all off until next week.
Have fun
Mrs M
