Week 1

G'day all and welcome back for term 2.

I hope you're all refreshed after your 2 week break! I had a relaxing but also a hectic time !This was because I achieved a lot, so I was kept busy but most of it was very enjoyable so it was relaxing!!! At least I didn't have to come to work each day so that was good!!
By now you've probably all seen the photos and video from the Easter party! I really thought I had taken more pics!! If any of you have photos perhaps you'd like to publish them!
I'm not very confident that all of you did the work I set for the last class so you catch up on that today.

Please also have a look again at the handout which outlines all the posts you should have covered in your blogs! I'm sad to say that some of you have only published one or two posts since the beginning of term 1! Unless you have hard copies to prove that you undertook the work, then I will not be able to say that you are competent in this unit even if you show competency in our 2 class assessments later in the term!

As we've been talking about and looking at newspapers all morning, I'd like you complete this quiz about newspapers. It won't take you too long! Post a comment at the end of this post and tell me how you got on with the quiz!

I've only included one reading activity today so hopefully you'll get that done too!
As you are aware, yesterday was ANZAC Day. Now I'm sorry if you've already done a lot of work on this topic this week. However, this work is from a reading perspective and aims to help you understand a bit more about its significance. So, open this link and find the answers to the questions on this worksheet.  The website is aimed at Primary school so it shouldn't be too hard for you to navigate around! Print off the worksheet first and use your answers to write up a short report in your blog.
I found this 'weird' video on YouTube about improving your reading skills!

Happy reading and blogging!
