Exposition Writing

Over the last few weeks of term 2 and this week we have been working on exposition writing. This is a chance for us to argue our point of view and use facts and opinions to back up our topic sentences. We were given the opportunity to work collaboratively with others in our class to create an argument on whether we think cellphones should be banned at school or not. Check out Iris, Mia, Reagan and Arielle's piece of writing. The girls have used some great topic sentences as well as facts to back up their opinions to create a very successful piece of argument writing. Ka Pai girls!

See Ya Simon Novel Study

Kia Ora everyone. For the past 6 weeks, T2 has been reading See Ya Simon as part of a novel study. We have been reading it as a whole class and have had a range of comprehension activities to complete, based on the novel. One of the activities we had to complete was a character profile. We had to choose 3 characters that we had been introduced to in the novel and create a profile on them so people who haven't read the novel, know a little bit about them. We also had to create avatars of what we thought the character might look like. Here is an example of some fantastic character descriptions completed by Mia. Wananei Mia!
