Read and Learn Facts about Sleep

Past the few week Mrs Anderson reading group has been using our researching skills to find out why sleep is important. We used reciprocal reading for our DLO's. We also used our inference skills in our reading. Before creating this DLO my reading group read different types of sleep that will answer our questions. The most important question to me was trying to find out if our ancestors got more sleep than us. Once we finished reading different sites we gathered our information altogether to make a DLO. 

Matariki

LI: To understand the meaning of Matariki.

Today my group worked collaboratively to create a google presentation about the understanding we have of Matariki. We communicated and shared ideas while doing our work. First we watched a video about Matariki and then we were to set a 3 minute timer and note as many facts as we could about Matariki in 3 minutes. My group managed to write 6 interesting facts about Matariki. We all used our smart searching skills to find interesting information about Matariki. Using our smart researching skills helped us a lot.
