On this page I will set weekly homework. Sometimes the homework may require posting on the Wiki space and sometimes I will just be putting it up as a reminder to students and parents. Any questions about the homework set email me at m_morris@pukekoheint.school.nz.


 * __Week 1 & 2 Term 3__:**


 * __ Homework __**
 * Honesty **
 * WALT: Identify the value ‘Honesty’ in the wider community (real life situations) **

For homework this week you need to read through newspapers/magazines to find an article that displays a ‘real life’ hero of honesty. The article you use may come from a magazine or newspaper and can be from a local, national or international source and can be from the past or present. Once you have found an article that has a person showing the value honesty then write a summary that includes these points.

-Who is it? (is it more than one person?) -What is the article about? -Where did you find the article? (name of newspaper/magazine) -Was it local, national or international? -How did they show the value ‘Honesty’? -What would you have done in their situation? (be honest)

Summarise these points on a piece of paper. Then in your Pb4L scrap book glue in the article you used and write up your answers from before below it. You need to present this clearly, neatly and give it the ‘wow’ factor by using colours and borders to illustrate it.
