Sun Sonata

Yesterday, my reading group and I read a poem called Sun Sonata.  The poem was talking about the sun and the shadow. We had to memorise our poem so we could recite it to the class.

Sun Sonata

The sun shone a tree over my yard today,
Stretched it's long black arms
 Around my garden and into my house
Where thin dark fingers
Played a small masterpiece
on my arm.

Facts About Reading!

Reading

Books	Knowledge
Learning Learning information and you can retell also it helps you.	Thought The emotion when you are reading, the thought that you have escaped.

Introduction

Talofa Lava, and welcome to my report about reading. I will be telling you information about knowledge when you read, what types of books you can read, what you learn when you read and your change thought of mind.

Knowledge

When you read you contain knowledge to go into your brain and stay there. You use that knowledge to go and teach anyone that you know. There are three ways to earn knowledge, and that is from someone, books and from the internet. Most people get knowledge from the internet and that is totally fine.

Books

There are many types of books you can read. One of the most famous books that I know are by J.K Rowling and her harry potter books. You can also read books by Percy Jackson and other fancy books. You can even make a collection of your favorite books if you want to as well.

Learning

When you are reading you learn information, to help you in your life. You can also retell, so when you get to school you already know how to do it. Then you’ll be like two levels higher than everybody else. So remember to read so you can learn, learn to read and read to learn most importantly.

Conclusion

Remember to read everyday to develop your skills and learning.

Duffy Reading!

Malo E Lei, and today I will be talking about Duffy reading. Duffy reading is really important. You have to read every day, with your parents if your a child.  At Ruapotaka School, we are very lucky to get Duffy books at no cost. Our  sponsor is Terry Jarvis, but he is retired but still continued to do his job. Sometimes the Government gives some books, like the fruit. You have to read everyday so when you grow up you can read to your children.
