Librarian Morning Tea

On Friday we had a morning tea for the librarians to celebrate our hard work. We issue books, return books, rearrange and make sure that everything is in the right place. By Meg

Game of guess who?

In our writing lessons, we have been learning how to write in the "third person." We wrote a description of ourselves without naming them and then we handed them to Nicola. She mixed them up and read them out. We had to guess who the person was. Then we decided to use puppet pals to publish them. By George

Whangarei Mystery Skype

Using Twitter to record our progress

Some of us Mystery Skyped a class from Whangarei Primary School. We recorded our progress on Twitter @MatarikiWBS #mysteryskype. It was fun having to research and find places on a map.  We took turns and asked questions to each other to narrow it down until we got the correct school.

Student Run Workshops: Writing a book review

We ran a workshop about how to write a book review. We gave the people in the workshop templates to help them. By Asha

We had to write a book review. We had to call the workshop leaders by their surnames. We wrote about our favorite books and whether we would recommend the books to other people. I learnt that you have to talk about the action and the main characters. By Lucie

I liked this workshop because you learnt how to write a book review and the template helped us with the layout. By Anna

Library Visit: Weds- Who is in our community?

Anna- I learnt that where the Miramar library is now, it used to be a lake. I enjoyed the walk and the talk from Sharon. I am interested in the library (I am doing the Library research). My next steps are to go to the library and interview at least two librarians and ask them questions about their past and their job!

Khailin: I liked learning about Miramar’s past.

Charlie P:  I liked learning about how the library used to be a lake & more!

Zoe.R: I learned a lot about what Wellington used to look like and what Wellington used to look like and what it look likes now. The librarian told us a lot about Miramar. Definitely check out the Miramar Library! 

Blake: I learnt that the Miramar library used to be under a swamp. I also looked at a book with some friends and it was about what Wellington used to look like in the past and what it looks like now!

Alex P: I really like learning about Miramar Peninsula, the library & the lake
