Kindness poem

Hi guys

This week is all about your writing skills, your creative flair and your clever brain!

We are doing a 'concrete poem' based on something that Random Act of Kindness Day means to you.
Google some examples if you are not too sure but remember you shape should have something to do with kindness/compliments/appreciation.

Presented on paper by Thursday morning :)

Explanation writing - Home Learning task

**Folder link with helpful bits and bobs! **

1. Here is your chance to write another wonderfully entertaining explanation.

2. Remember all of the work we have done on explanations in class - this is your 3rd one and it will be amazing.

3. The planning is due in to me next Thursday 10th August by the start of school. An adult needs to sign this beforehand. Share it with them, they may be able to help!

4. The finished product is due in to me by Thursday 17th August by the start of school. It can be typed and printed or it can all be done in your book. An adult needs to have checked over your work too.

5. Use the 'Explanation Checklist' and the 'Sentence Starters' in the linked folder above. I am expecting to see some diagrams and/or pictures in this explanation too.

6. See me before Thursday if you have any questions. Take your time. Plan it out and always ask yourself,

"Is this my best work?"

Woohoo, what a success our Year 8 Market Day was!

Check out these photos. I will upload some more next week when you remind me!

Home Learning over the long weekend is to fill out the Market Day Self Reflection. Click on the writing to get started. Remember it should take some thought and time to answer. I would love honest reflections where you have really thought about the whole process. It has been 6 weeks of our classroom/home learning :)

Here is the spreadsheet of all of your Market Day info. Perhaps you would like to share (or boast about it) to your family at home. Our grand total given to World Vision was $41.10!

Enjoy the long weekend & make sure you are a great help at home!
