Room 6 Political Parties and Policies

After a few conversations around politics and the political process in New Zealand, we thought it would be fun to create our own political groups.

Each group had to come up with their five most important policies- 3 relating to New Zealand in general and 2 relating to our lives at HSS. The parties have been making posters and websites, we've had some class debates and next week we will be broadcasting our political debates on our school radio station, HSS 107 fm.

Check out some of the political parties. What do you think of their policies?

Novels

We have started an exciting unit on novels!!!! We are enjoying reading and discussing books together.

New or Exciting Vocabulary

We are word detectives....always looking for cool words to use in our own writing or just to enjoy as we read. Help us create a big wordbank of new and exciting vocabulary that you come across in your reading!!

Created with Padlet

Vocabulary super stars

We are always looking for ways to expand our vocabulary. Last week we had a good look at adjectives and went on a hunt for new ones that we could use in our writing.

We had great discussions about using visual images to express our words and we looked closely at language features like metaphors and personification.

We are a bit proud of our creations!
