Reading Learning Story

In reading we read a book called buttons it is about the people who got executed in Germany, some were even kid's. Moriah school collected 1.5 million button's for the children that died in Germany. The button's Moriah school have collected are stored inside jars and boxes. They were trying to collect the buttons to remember the 1.5 million children that died. People from all around the world sent them to New Zealand from the Netherland's, France, Poland, Germany, Norway, the United States and Indonesia.

when we were reading we were trying to:

• find out who is the kaitiaki
•  look for key words 
•  identify what some of the words meant for an example (holocaust and concentration camp's)
• what they did to collect button's and how they did it. 

When we did our discussing and reading in a group and someone doesn't understand what I am discussing about I can:

• explain to them in a different way
• I can show them what I mean using information from the story
•  I can skim and scan through text to find information quickly
• I can pronounce some hard word's

I learnt that to complete their task they would have to:

• Make a plan about what they are going to do
• call a good friend of theirs to spread the word
• tell other countries if they would like to send some button's for the children that died
• make posters and stick them up were other people will see it 

I can use this information to help me achieve my community action inquiry.

In Reading I  need to improve on:
