Each day, newspaper editors around the world must make desicions about which stories they will run. We explored the different types of current events that are happening in New Zealand, thought about why the story made the news and plotted the location on a google map. Most of the articles that Marieta and I read happened in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch. Together our favourite article was the new Wellington sculpture showing a large hand balanced on two fingers, with a human face on the palm.

Current Events
Today as a great start off to reading we completed another activity. This activity was completed in our collaborative groups. To complete this task we were to find 2 events about national and international events that had happened recently. We used a creative DLO that helped us write everything in. Pua, Te Pounamu, Avalon, Florence, and I worked collaboratively together for this task. We chose the articles about Fiji banning nets and children's day. We answered the 5 questions and 1 how. Our group also gave our own point of views to show that we have evidence.

Current Events National Events
This week for reading we have been working on Current Events. A current event is a type of task where you read an article and you start answering the 5 w's, 1 h. We were to go on either of the sites which were Kiwi Kid News, RNZ News, and NZ Herald. I decided to use Kiwi Kid News to create a current event based on Auckland counts homeless for the first time. We were to create 2 current events based on a National event that happened in Auckland and a international event that happened around the world. My other current event was based on Koala's maybe extinct by 2050. This current event was based on international news.
