Writing Instructions

I liked having the potatoes because I really like boiled potatoes. I tried kale for the first time and it was really nice with the salt, I was proud that I tried something even though I didn’t know what it tasted like. I am going to always try vegetables now.

Counting on from the biggest number

Adding detail to my story

I am learning to add details in my writing. I am getting better to describe things I want to write about but it is still tricky to think of different ways to make my story more interesting.

Maori language week Koru

At Maori Language Week we did a song and it was Maori but we learned about the colours and that was as fun as an alien. I really like learning about the song because you need to hit your chest and then you need to scratch three times.

Contractions

We are learning to find contractions in our stories. We know that contraction are two words that are squashed together. I can find contractions easily because they have an apostrophe in them.
I am good at contractions because I know that do not is don’t and can not is can’t. My next thing I am learning in reading is setting, beginning, middle, end and the characters of my story.

Fractions

We are learning about fractions. We know that one quater is when we cut something into four pieces. We also learnt about halves which means we cut something two pieces. Fractions are ½ ¼ and ⅓. With fraction you start with one whole and you cut it into pieces.

I am good at fractions because I can cut a whole into halves and quaters. It is a bit tricky to know which fractions are bigger. My next step in maths is to learn to add two numbers together by counting on from the biggest number.

Compound sentences

I am learning to write compound sentences. I am good at it because I know that I need to use and, but or because to put two sentences together in a one longer sentence. I am going to work on making my stories more interesting.

Skip count in 2's

I am learning to skip count in 2's. It is tricky to go up to the bigger numbers. My next step is to skip count backwards.

Capital letters and full stops

Base words and word endings

I am good at finding the root words and word endings and I can also put different word ending on a root word. My next step is to learn to find contractions.
