Interview by Junefia

With this activity, we were to create questions to interview someone that is living his/her dream. These are my questions and I was lucky enough to interview Miss Langton who is a teacher in Room 5. Here it goes... Where did your love of becoming a teacher come from? What do teacher do? How did you get your job as a teacher at Tamaki Primary? What have been your highlights of your career so far? What are your future goals? What skills do you need to become a teacher? What advice do you have for me students who want to pursue this pathway?

Inferencing by Dyzon and Cedric

We found this activity a bit hard but when we discussed it again with the teacher and my buddy,  we managed to complete it. We think we need more practice before we can be confident enough to use the skills to enhance our reading comprehension on our own.

We need to always try our best, never give up on what you know is right.
We need to be courages and talk to people that we trust.

It is very motivating 

Cloze exercise by Junefia

People laugh us they

Stare at you and say

She's got nowhere to go

But if they only know you're thinking

Where did I go wrong

How should I move on

In Spite of what I see

They're losing faith in me

Refrain 1

You tell yourself you believe

That in every feat

It takes a heart to endure

All the pains and grief,

Having the hope to see the best that you can be….

Chorus

Follow your dream

The courage found within

Your soul is keeping you so strong

That you could rise each time you fall

And stand up on your own

This time you won't go wrong

Just give your best to hold your will

Persistently, become the one

You've always aimed to be

Verse 2

Got to find your place

Where you'll proudly face

The woes that come your way

Sometimes it's hard to say

If you can stick to your desire

Never lose the fire

That burns up light inside for you to win the fight

Refrain 2

You tell yourself to achieve

You must not retreat

Persist the stops can be tough

If you must compete

Learning the path of fate

By every road you take...
