READING TIP OF THE WEEK !

Read the book, then watch the movie.

Pick a classic that’s been turned into a movie—THE BFG; The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe; or Charlie and the Chocolate Factory—and read it together, a few chapters at a time.

When you’re finished, host a family movie night to watch the film version. This is a great way to hook your reader into the novel, helps them understand the descriptive content in the novel and allows you to talk about characters and why they might act a certain way. Use this as a springboard in helping them to explore different endings .

Helping your child edit their work can be as simple as C.U.P.S - Capitals, Understanding, Punctuation and Spelling !

Remember not to edit too soon in the writing process. This can stall the writing, limit the imagination and can cause anxieties around writing.

CUPS is the last part of the process and should be rewarded with a big cup of hot chocolate !

Did you know that Sunday 23rd May is World Turtle Day?

Here in New Zealand we are the home to five turtle species. Green and leatherback turtles are our most common species. Leatherbacks are widely spread around New Zealand and have been recorded as far south as Fiordland. Turtles have been found and tracked in waters around North Cape and the eastern coast of Northland are the favoured foraging grounds.

Turtles are so amazing as they are known to have been in our world for 200 million years and can live to be up to 250 years old. Let's celebrate the turtle this Sunday by reducing our plastic usage so we can keep these beautiful creatures in our world.

You can celebrate the day by sharing how amazing turtles are with your kids, read them a story about turtles or find out amazing facts about them !

Here at Wellington In2Learning we will be writing stories and poems about the beautiful turtles ! Stay tuned to read our awesome students Ode to the Turtle ..
