Summarising Simple Solution


For reading we have been learning to summarise the text. We have done this by using the who,what,where,when,why and how questions. The book we were reading was called Simple Solution, it was about a truck that got stuck under a bridge and could not get out.

It was easy to read the book.

I was hard to write it all up.   

Next time i need to work on writing more.

Post Card


In writing we have been learning to think about the writers point of view. We are reading the book "The Faraway Tree" by Enid Blyton in class. The book is about a little girl called Connie whose mother is ill so she is sent to live with her Mothers friend and her children, Jo, Bessie,and Franny. The children show her the Faraway Tree and to begin with she doesn't believe them.

We have been talking about how Connie might have felt and what she would have said to her mother. We decided to write a post card from Connie would say.

I did not find anything hard. 

I found it easy to type it all up.

Next time i need to work on typing more.

Story Telling


During our Te Tuhi workshop "Creative Stories" we learnt about the different ways a story can be told. We explored our story "Quaky Cat" through role play and then created our own posters.

I found it hard to work out what to do on my paper. 

I found it easy to cut the paper out when I new what I was making.

Next time I need to work on doing more on my page.
