Do we all have the same chance of having a healthy sleeping?

This week we have been separated into READ groups. In my group was Jeremiah, Freeman, Nyjah, Mataio and Affonso. Our task was to find out why sleep is so important for humans. One of the questions we were aiming as a group was Do all humans have the same chance of having a healthy sleeping? First we we focused only on our group and asked if we have the same chance of sleeping. We all said yes, but that hadn't mean that everyone has the same chance of sleeping because we explored other kids around the world you don't have a healthy sleep like us. A kid in Brazil sleeps on couches outside and a kid from Cambodia sleep on tyres and picks rubbish early in the morning. By learning why sleep is so important for us we also came through a work called inferring. Inferring means when you read between the lines and find hints in the text to answer a questions or guessing that something is true. Sleeping is important for your mental health because it restores our bodies and helps our brains to make strong memories and process about any information. People who don't have enough sleep or have sleeping problem can get to trouble as it can lead to disease such as heart & kidney disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, and stroke.
Here is the link to where kids sleep from all around the world.

L.I To infer information from the text

For reading we read a book called high flyers which was a information report. For that we had to get into pairs. My partner was Fraidon (classmate). One person had to read while the other person points at the nouns. After that we had to swap the reader and the pointer and instead of nouns we did verbs. We found quiet a lot of verbs. Soon after we swaped again the reader and pointer and we did adjectives instead of verbs. We got points if we .Our task was to use this template that is shown above and had to summaries the text. I worked with Fraidoon (classmate). We only had to summarise the text in 25 words. We also had to use the 5 W's and H to help us summarise the text. The 5 W'S and H really helped Fraidoon and I write our summary in 25 words. I think for next time instead of summarirising the text in 25 words we should try and summarise in 20 or 15 words.

Learning Intention: To infer information using clues and prior knowledge.

This week for reading we are stall focusing on inferring. Our Must Do was the same as last week. We had to read a explanation text about how planes fly. After that we had to infer it. We had to write what we think is happening and get the evidence from the text. We also have to write down our prior knowledge. I was struggling on inferring because I didn't know what some words meant.

L.I To infer information about events in a story

This week for reading we are focusing on inferring. In this task I had to infer a text called Awarua: The Taniwha of Porirua. We had to infer every page in that text. We had to write down what we think is happening in that page and had to have the evidence as well from the text. We also had to write down our prior knowledge (what we know). This was really fun and a bit hard. I found it a bit difficult to infer but I stall managed to do it. I think for next time I should read other texts that are more harder and infer it and see how good I am.
