Painting the Town Mural
LI: To design a mural for our community that connects to my culture
For Reading we read ‘Painting the Town’ by by Renata Hopkins. This text was about how Christchurch has painted murals all over the city to bring back happiness to the city after the 2011 earthquake destroyed 80% of the CBD. My mural shows about my culture , and what I love about it .
I think the murals were painted to express people’s feelings if they had lost something important .
Bok Choy
LI: To understand we make judgements based on stereotyping, assumptions and prejudices
We read the text Bok Choy for Reading. This text showed us the prejudices that existed towards the Chinese immigrants in early NZ. It also showed us that it is important to show empathy for those who are seen to be different from us. Our challenge after reading this was to write a letter to Ah Sum to thank him properly, as you didn’t have the right words when you were shivering in his hut.
Something I found interesting about the events in this text was how Chiniese people came to New Zealand .
Summer Learning Journey
LI: To celebrate our success
Last week PBS had their Summer Learning Journey celebration assembly. Mrs Grant came and presented our certificates and prizes. My certificate is for participation. The SLJ was a fun activity to do because you can get cool and fun rewards , and you can learn alot about stuff that you didn’t already know about . My favourite activity was the Anteater or Aardvark Activity , because it lets us learn fun facts about Anteaters and Aardvarks , and it tells us if it is endangered or not .
