Newspapers

last week we did a lot of stuff with newspapers. We read the newspaper, and leant new things out of the paper, and then we cut the stuff we learnt out of the papers. We looked at photos with sentences under them and found ones we found interesting and put them into our journal. Most of the people cut out a picture of this guy doing a cool trick while ice skating and then we had to write a story about the winter olmpics that is half a page using just a crazy headline. We also did a scavenger hunt - we had to find stuff that was a big bisness and a small bisness and furniture and things we can eat or throw away.

we talked about flags this week and what our flag means. we tried to work out which countries had which flags. we also talked about what it means to have a flag and why they look like it. we also did a class quiz on flags on the screen - this week we got 7 out 10 questions right.

you can see us working with the newspapers here.

news paper

Yesterday we read the newspaper and we read that there was a head to head train crash in Belgium and 20 people died and it was very sad. The interesting section was the sports section because it had heaps of cool sports like cricket, skiing and soccer. Then we choose two pictures with a caption and then we had to say why we choose that picture then we had to cut out the two pictures we choose and the caption then glue them into our journal. Then we took out our sports news page from our newspaper then Miss Cheeseman asked us a few questions after that we cut out a list from the sports news page, what we had to do with the list is read a sports story from the newspaper and tick off what was on the list.

Watch out next week when we take some photos
