Room 20s learning.

In term 2 Room 20 has been focusing on Tonga for their Investigating studies topic. We have been comparing Tongan life to New Zealand life by watching a Tongan lifestyle videos. Once we had watched the video we wrote in our topic books what we saw in the video and how that life is compared our New Zealand life.

In writing we have been focusing on explanation writing.
Our writing sample is coming up and we have been gathering as much knowledge of rubbish as we can as that is writing topic for this sample. Our main focus though is pollution but the class decided to narrow it down to rubbish as that is a real part of pollution.

In maths this term we are doing all of our revising and completing assessments to show what we have learned and what we need to improve on. I feel very confident about my Place Value and really enjoy completing Place Value tasks.

In Reading we have been using these strategies Predicting, Self Monitoring, Inferring and Activating Prior Knowledge. These strategies have helped us in a huge way with our comprehension. We have been focusing on self monitoring as we are doing our reading assessments.

So that is what we have been  doing in Room 20 during term 1 and term 2.
