Hello kidlets!
Sorry I am out today. Think of it as an adventure- exploring other classrooms. If you see any good ideas, bring them back to share tomorrow- we can learn a lot when we spend time with new people, even the little people, sometimes they have the most fun ideas!
I have a little challenge for you today- Random acts of kindness. I can't wait to hear how you go today.
It is kind of exciting to give you the chance to be leaders in the school like this. You could be the best thing to happen to the classes you are in today, I am sure the teachers will be so glad to have you join them and help out today. If you can't be useful, just keep going with your learning below. You are SUPER independent so you will have no troubles. If you need help, ask each other first- look after each other!

The Zoo Debate
In LT2 we are learning about writing to persuade. As part of this learning, we are reading many persuasive texts. This week, we are reading 'The Zoo Debate' but Philippa Werry.
Read this article. You choose whether it is out loud with a buddy, or quietly to yourself.
Answer these questions in the comment box on this blog post.
Can you find:
1. 5 subject-specific words
2. 5 emotive words
3. 5 reasons why zoos can be helpful
4. 5 reasons why zoos may be considered harmful.
Decide what you think about zoos. Plan your argument for or against zoos on the graphic organiser. When you have conferenced your plan with a teacher, you may start writing your draft.

MT2: Persuasive Texts
Yesterday we looked at a Pamphlet from the Labour Party. We decided that it was trying to convince us to vote for Labour. It gave 6 clear reasons why. Your first job is to finish identifying their key arguments and adding that to your graphic organiser. Be sure to identify their opinion statement, and call to action!
Below is a link to the National Party website. On this page, National is trying to convince you to vote for them.
1. Read this webpage (you don't need to click on all the thumbnails to read more - you can if you want to though!)
2. What reasons does National give to vote for them?
3. Are you convinced? Why? Why not?
4. Try to put some of NAtional's arguments onto a new graphic organiser (In your tray)
Here's the link:
