Inquiry Topic - Reading and Writing

















The inquiry title page

This task is all about me explaining , what makes a good reader and writer??...To me I think , what makes people good readers and writers is that when you think of something in your head , you will want to make it into a story and maybe you will want to put your imagination into a movie , like the movie and book , Harry Potter by J.K Rowling.She made this book because when she was younger , she was surrounded by books and her mum and dad loved reading.She lived with books and started reading and writing for her whole entire life and that's why she started making movies.J.K Rowling first had the idea for Harry Potter as she was travelling to London in a train in 1990.

Here is a link that has information about J.K Rowling and how she became an author....

WALT reflect on our attitude session

Today this morning we have had a guy come in to our class and taught us about making choices while being with your friends.What he taught us was that there are three main words that means the most to the attitude programme , Genes , Environment and Choices.They chose those words because those are the only words that mean the most to the attitude programme.

His name was Dan and he came from South Africa.When he taught us things about choosing friends and making good choices , he gave us a booklet that tells us everything about the part of growing up in different stages.The one thing that he said , that I really like was "If you fail one thing , it don't make you a failure"
and he taught us that their are 4 animals that represents our personalities

  • Lion-Being a leader and sometimes being bossy - "let's do it my way"
  • Otter-Makes everything fun in every way and makes people laugh - "let's do it the fun way"
  • Golden Retriever-Cares about people and makes peace - "let's keep the peace"
  • Beaver-Who focuses on task and works hard - "let's do it the right way"

The main pages in the book is...

  • Friendship Factor
  • Who am I??
  • Puberty
  • Tackling Technology
  • Parent pages
Here is some activities that did in the booklet...
