Our group has been focusing on consider both perspectives. Perspectives means a different points of view. Our group has been gathering information of our topic whether it is true or not.The topic was about sacred spots from Maori mythology.One of the myths our group decided to chose was Waipoua forest,Waipoua forest is the creation story of Tane Mahuta creating the Earth by lying between his parents Papatuanuku mother earth and Ranginui the sky father.Tane Mahuta pushed and stretched his parents apart to fight for the light and space for him and his siblings.Something we found interesting about our task given was exploring our researching skills to find the evidence that is true and not about the myth we have chosen above.
For reading we have been focusing on the Maui and Sun story.Our task was to identify the main ideas in the text.Our information we have gathered together is our opinions we have mixed together to create a more explained main ideas.Something we learnt from this activity is to read the text and identify all the different main ideas we might find important to vital.Something we found interesting about this activity is being able to identify the main ideas of a text.
For reading, we have been focusing on summarising text information such as stories, articles and other texts. The text we used for this reading task was the traditional Maori story of how the world came to be. This text was about Papatuanuku and Ranginui waking up from eternal darkness in earth's first light, and Tane Mahuta (one of their children) seperating them to grant his siblings and himself freedom from the darkness. Tawhirimatea was angry at the seperation of his parents.
For this task, we watched a video and read a text based off of the Maori story of how the world came to be (In the Beginning). We labelled the main parts of the video version that are not included in the written version, and labelled the main prts of the written version that were not included in the video. In the middle, we labelled the similarities between the two stories.
I really enjoyed this task and found it easy because I am familiar with identifying the key ideas and comparing the two similar but different texts/information sources.

Tawhirimatea was angry at the separation of his parents.
For this task, we found exactly twenty keywords to build an understanding of the text about. Keywords help us understand more in a short amount of time. Then from those twenty words, we chose six of those words to create a summary on. A summary is a short and brief description of the story so that we can understand the text in fewer words.
I enjoyed this task and found it easy because I am familiar with summarising and understanding texts using the key reading comprehension strategies so I can expand my knowledge of a story.

LI: Summarising the text
For reading this week we read about Thunderstorms and what causes stormy weather. As a group we discuused the text, asked questions and shared facts we thought were ineresting.
Did you know that lightning happens before thunder because sound travels more slowly than light?
When thunderclouds are formed, liquid inside them turns to ice. Tiny bits of ice collide and this causes an electrical charge known as lightning.
Did you know some cretures and animals can sense when a storm are coming? Stormy weather happens when pressure in the atmosphere is low, warm air rises and meets cool dry air which condenses to form clouds.
Thunder is caused when hot air expands, making a loud noise.

LI: to understand why staying hydrated is important for our health and learning.
Our Inquiry task was based on investigating the definition of hydration and dehydration, as well as figure out why it is important and very crucial to drink water regularly as part of our health and learning.
Our group started by writing down the definition of hydration and dehydration and what they mean to us. We wrote the definitions of hydration and dehydration on a google draw.
For our group, hydration means having enough fluid or water ingestion. Dehydration to us means the lack of water intake by a person or living organism.
On our poster, we began including information about why hydration is important and the benefits of drinking water regularly, as well as why dehydration can be a health hazard and the symptoms of dehydration.
Some of the symptoms are: headaches, feeling dizzy or dry mouth. Not drinking enough water can lead to health hazards that could possibly link to the heart.
Drinking enough water has a lot of health benefits as well as learning benefits. Being hydrated can also make you energetic for learning new things and going to school.
I enjoyed because this was the first thing i did and it was fun to learn about the benefits and side affects of having water .
