Reading

WALT: think critically about texts with increasing understanding and confidence.

Today for reading room had to read a text name "Wild Boy" The journey of Brando Yelavich 

by Stephanie Chamberlin. We had to read through it three times and then find out what were the connections that we were able to determine from the text. As a class we were able to find out that the connections were that Brando discovered something about himself while on the adventure and we also discovered something about ourselves. We had to put down at least three things that we learned about ourselves at school this whole year, what we struggle on and continue to work on, what we improved on and hoe we're doing with our work.

Thank you for reading enjoy!

Reading - Reflection

WALT: I can find and learn the meanings of unknown
vocabulary by using strategies such as applying my
knowledge of how words work or seeking explanations in
the text or in illustrations.

Today for reading my group had been reading about

a book called "Oakley Creek". We had to find out what connections were

we able to determine about the text and 3 things

that we could infer about the text. I can tell you that part of this text is about

a girl name Faith and she had to decide what she would do out of doing the right thing or the bad thing. Of course she chose to the the bad thing but only so she could fit in with the other kids.

I guess that what I learnt from this was that if you want to fit

in with others you just gotta be yourself so others can

choose you for who you are.

Thank you for reading enjoy!
