The Boy and the Striped Pyjamas

This week we had to do an activity about a book we have read. ” Create a Canva or Piktochart to advertise a book that you love. You need to make other people want to read it!” is the one that I have chosen for it and the book I have chosen is called The Boy in The Striped Pyjamas

Here is the list of activity we could do –

Here is a design of a poster that I have made –

A summary at the back of the book –

During World War II, 8-year-old Bruno and his family leave Berlin to take up residence near the concentration camp where his father has just become commandant. Unhappy and lonely, he wanders out behind his house one day and finds Shmuel, a Jewish boy of his age. Though the barbed-wire fence of the camp separates them, the boys begin a forbidden friendship, oblivious to the real nature of their surroundings.

One of my favourite parts was at the end because it was really saddening and heartwarming. I can’t really tell anything about the end since it is a spoiler.

Thank you for reading and what’s your favourite book?

Ngāti Kurī Proud

This week for reading we had to read about the stories about Ngāti Kurī Proud. Ngāti Kurī is a traditional Maori story or a pakiwaitara that explains natural phenomena or why something the way it is. The book is about how Ngāti Kurī got its name, it is also three stories in one and three siblings retell them.

After we had read it, we had to also listen to the audio book about it. Then we had to write on our JamBoard about a new thing we learnt. We also had to make a DLO about it.

Ruru and the Giant Pouakai

This week we had to read a story about Ruru and the Giant Pouakai. Ruru and the Giant Pouakai is a story tale about a giant bird who came to eat people. After we had read the story we had to make DLO that summarises the story.

Here is a summary

Mt Torlesse is a tall mountain in Canterbury. Many Maori fished in Mt Torlesse. Then a giant evil bird called the Pouakai landed on the top of the mountain. It was hunting for people. The Rangatira of the pa warned his people. The people hid in the pa. They were getting hungry and thirsty so they chose 40 of their bravest men to go hunt. They built a cage to bait the Pouakai. The giant bird came swooping in to capture Ruru. Ruru reached the cage. Pouakai clawed the cage but his claws got stuck in the holes inside the cage. Then the men destroyed the bird and the people were saved.

Here is my DLO
