Rahi and the Patupairehe

This week we were learning to summarize. We also connected to visualizing and inferencing to help us. We filled in a story web to summarize each part of the story. I used my visualisation from week 1 to help separate the part of the story. I used my character inference trails to use adjectives and evidence to help summarize quicker. Connecting all 3 strategies helped me to understand the story characters and keywords. The game Ki O Rahi is based on this story.

Reading

We read a story called the legend of rahi we also had to inference the story.

In the story was rahi and the patupaiarehe. patupaiarehe stole Rahi's wife. We have been talking about facts and opinion. A fact something that is happened or known about and opinion is what you think e.g like something is cool.

Writing

A synonym is another word similar in meaning to what your word is. We have been talking about verbs,adverbs adjectives and nouns. A verb is a doing word. adverb describes how something happened. A adjective is describing words. A noun is a name of something.

We had to find synonyms for this google sheet that had verbs,adverbs adjectives and nouns words.
We had to make a poster about the word we choose. We also had to search some synonyms that relate to the word. The word that I choose was happy.
