The Dr. Seuss Story Book


This book has 4 stories. The first one is called McElligot's Pool. In the story there was a boy fishing in the pool. A man came up to him and said "You'll only catch garbage because people throw in the pool." The boy said in a rhyme that if he was patient enough he might catch one.

Book Summary

 

Nory, Elliott, Andres, and Bax are back to prove that life on the other side of ordinary has its charms. When things get messy, it's easy to point your finger at the kids with the messiest magic. But the Upside-Down Magic students aren't going to let themselves get in trouble. Instead, they're going to find out what's really going on and get their school back on track before something really wacky happens.

My Pet Slime Summary

  

This book is called My Pet Slime.                                                                       By Courtney Sheinmel and Illustrations by Renee Kurilla. 

Summary

The main character is a Girl named Piper. The story starts at Piper's school. At school the subject was Show and Tell. Her friend was last and he talked about hes hamster. She wanted a pet too but she is allergic to almost all the animals. When she got home she was sad. Piper likes slime so she came up with an idea to make a pet out of slime. 

Review

I found this book on Epic. The book has a "read to me" feature. I give this book a 5 out of 5 because it was easy to read the book and I liked how Piper found a way to deal with her problem. I recommended this book to kids because it is a great book.

Storyboard

 


A little kindness goes a long way. The task was to make a storyboard about kindness. What I did was a kindness boomerang. The first person that helped is the one being helped at the end.

Be Kind and Have a Great Day

Environmental Issues

We are learning to recognise the importance of noticing others and the benefits of being kind. Whaea Lorraine asked us to do some research about the book we read called Tu Meke Tuatara.

We had to pair up and work together. This was a challenge for me because I had become used to working alone since being in lockdown. My partner was learning from home so communication was bit of a challenge. We overcame it by talking and texting on email, google meet and speaker notes on the slide show

Our focus was on Pepe the penguin who got stuck in plastic.

Brave Flower

 


This is my reading task and the name of the book is Brave Flower and it is written by Simone Kaho. My thoughts on the dawn raids are about how people were being treated. It was a really hard time for brown people.
