We love to read!

 Mrs Taylor's Readers found out what their new theme for reading over the next three weeks will be today.  We spent our Reading session "getting hooked" on our new themes. We loved getting to share our new knowledge combined with our old knowledge with others in different groups. 

Panem is looking at lizards and they were interested to find out that the Komodo Dragon is the world's biggest and most vicious lizard. The members of Panem got out the metre rulers to find out exactly how big they could grow too. Did you know a Komodo Dragon can grow up to 2.5m? This is the length of Emily and Oliver together!


Did you know that the Corona Virus is not the only health pandemic in history? In 1918 the Spanish Flu caused an international pandemic too. Treasure Island are looking into this. This is what they had to say after checking out the 'get hooked' section.


Other groups are looking at the Otago Gold Rush, Antarctica and Giant Prickly Stick Insects.


Don't forget to check out the students individual blogs to find out about their learning on these themes.
