Market Day

On Thursday 7th of September at Wesley Intermediate School we had Market Day, there were great stores opened, great food and brilliant art work and more, people were selling and customers bought nearly most of their stuff! The most success team in our class was Stan, Salati, Owen and Junior.They made nice juicy and beautiful burgers. They made $184, The thing I loved about Market day was the popcorn. The girls gave me free popcorn with chocolate swirl and m&m's. We had one mistake about our store, we forgot the butter and accidentally burnt our chocolate. But market day was awesome, I wish we could do it again!

Reciprocal Reading

WALT comprehend adventure novels

SC:

• Read the text
• Activate knowledge about the text
• Skim and scan for key information

This story was about a family that went on a camping trip with their family and their annoying cousin. My favourite part of the book was when the little cousin shines the light off and his uncle trips over a rock and falls. Skimming and scanning got to activate my knowledge about the text and connecting it to what happened in my world.

Reciprocal Reading

• Predict what the story is about by using headings/pictures
• Ask questions about the text
• Clarify anything you have read that you don’t understand
• Summarise what the text was about

On Thursday we did reciprocal reading. My favourite part of reading was recapping and being "the boss" and also summarising what happened in the story. My least was (asking questions about the story) because I didn't remember the story well.
