The Loaves

                 

This week for Literacy we have been learning about metaphors. A metaphor compares two different things.
We are learning about this language feature to help us become better writers.
In this poem, the author uses the language feature of metaphors to compare bread to clouds, and the sky to an oven.

Epic Reading

This year as part of our reading program we are using Epic. Epic is a digital reading platform with a collection of 40,000+ popular, high-quality books.

So far our class has read 250 books!

We love reading the different genres of books. One of our favourites is graphic novels.

E-Pro 8

This week some of our students took part in the E-Pro8 Challenge. E-Pro8 is an inter-school science and engineering competition. Students take part in a series of tasks designed to promote science and engineering. 

The competition took place at Dargaville Intermediate School. Our class representatives were Dallas, Iroam, Amaziah, Isabella & Chris. All of our reps did amazingly well! The teams were Omega & Beta.

Team Omega took out the win for the day and is now off to the finals in Whangarei next week!

Some reflections the students made were that next time they need to read the task carefully and refer back to it.
