Writing
In writing we are learning how to write reports.  With Miss Chapman we are doing information reports and with Miss Ward we are doing current events reports.  This week with Miss Ward we talked about the purpose of newspapers.  In groups we looked through a different newspaper each to see what they had in them.  We then discussed what some of these things are that newspapers have for example real estate, family notices, national, international and regional news.  Check out what we found some newspapers below had:


Southland Times
- sports news
- things for sale
- family notices
- national news
- international news
- local news
- weather
- business news
- farming from New Zealand news
- comments and opinions
- puzzles
- racing news
- classifieds

Otago Daily Times
- local news (regions)
- travel news
- diversions
- sport and racing news
- family notices
- classifieds
- weather
- sports news
- national news
- international news
- things for sale:  advertising

Clutha Leader
- local sport
- local news
- real estate
- advertising

Otago/Southland Farmer
- advertising

- opinions
- jobs
- classifieds
- market place
- local news
- farm news

The Ensign - Gore
- local news

We noticed that the smaller papers like the Clutha Leader have less in them than the bigger papers like the Otago Daily Times.
