Summarising Simple Solutions


For reading we have been learning to summarise the text.We have done this by using who,what,where,when,why and how questions.The book we were reading was called Simple Solutions,it was about how a truck that was struck under a bridge got out.
I found it easy to read the book.
I found it hard to to do nothing.
Next time I need to work on nothing.

Post Card



In writing we have been learning to think about writers point of view.We are reading the book The "Faraway Tree" by Enid Blyton in class.The book was 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 what she doesn't believe them.

We have been talking about how Connie might have felt and what she would have said to her mother,trying to think how Connie would say.

I found it hard to do nothing.
I found it easy to everything.
Next time I need to work on doing it faster.

Story Telling


During our Te Tuhi workshop "Creative stories"we learnt about the different ways a story can be told.We explored our story "the lorax" through role play and created our  own poster.

I found it hard to cut the drawing into shapes.
I found it easy to get the characters.
Next time I need to work on making the picture more intresting.
