Integrated Reading, Writing and Inquiry

We were learning to read different sources about climate change to find answers to some questions that we have come up with and identify some interesting facts that we discovered or new questions that arise from what we have read. It has been a lot of discussions, agreeing and disagreeing with the information to answer our questions.

Fakapaheke by Langiola

 I was retelling the story fakapaheke. This is a dual-language book but the teacher only read the Tongan story. It was really fun listening to and reading the Tongan story. We were able to discuss the story using the pictures and making connections with something that we know and listening and seeing words that we hear at home but finally can see the words. Love listening to and reading the Tongan story.

Fakapaheke

One day there was a young little boy named Alo. Alo and his family were at the park and Alo in the wheelchair wanted to go and play but Alo’s dad promised Alo to stay a bit and watch the children play around the playground.


After a while, Alo asked dad if Alo could go on the slide right beside the sandpit where no children were there. The slide was so bright that the color was silver and shiny, ALo wanted to show dad that he could do it, Alo

was too nervous to go on the silver and shiny slide, so Alo grabbed the corner of the slide to get up away from the wheelchair to make sure that he won’t need any help from anyone even his parents.


So Alo climbed up to the shiny slide he saw and slid down to the ground on his back. Alo asked dad for help when he was on the bottom of the slide because he wanted to go back up again. Dad was so impressed with

Alo going up and down the slide, Also Alo’s brother semi wanted to join going down the slide so Alo and Semi went up and down together on the shiny slide. Alo and his family was so happy and dad was so proud of Alo being able to go on the slide by himself 


It doesn’t matter if he is in a wheelchair he still can play without any help when he is disabled. This book teaches us to look after everyone no matter what. It is open that we are being inclusive whether they are in a wheelchair or not.
