Recount Writing

I am learning to write a recount about my experiences

• order my ideas

• use punctuation consistently
• use time words  like next, after, before later on

Counting Money and Giving Change

I am learning to recognise the value of NZ coins, to total amounts in coins and to give simple change.


I can add the money but I need to practise giving change.  

Keep practising counting money and giving change at home.  Work with your family with simple money.   Mrs Templeton 16.11.16

Predicting, Inferring and Exploring Vocabulary

I am learning to predict, make inferences and explore vocabulary.



Some of the questions were hard for me. I was thinking explaining the meaning was a bit hard.  Next time I can talk to my group to work some out.  Analise  16.11.16

Analise, I think we should definitely share our thoughts in the group, this would give us lots more ideas.  Mrs Templeton  16.11.16

Fun at ESOL

I enjoyed icing my gingerbread man at ESOL.

Kiwi Dog: Comprehension Questions

I am learning to answer comprehension questions to show my understanding of what I have read.

It was quite easy for me to read it but I didn't know what a burrow or a muzzle was.  I worked it out by reading it all.

This was a new challenge for you Analise.  You are started to read harder books and work hard to make sense of tricky words.  Mrs Templeton   

Shape Pizza - Geometry

I am learning to identify, name and sort 2D shapes according to their attributes: (number of sides, corners, curves, parallel lines, size and shape etc)

A Fun Visit From St John's Ambulance

Visual Art: Geometric Shape Art

I have been learning to observe and compare the works of other artists and to create my own art work using geometric shapes.

To be successful I needed to look at the works of Klee, Matisse and Kandinsky (right) and cut a range of shapes in different sizes and place them carefully to create my own masterpiece. (left)

Describing a Storm

I am learning to describe a storm using my senses.

To be successful I will choose interesting words to describe what I can see, hear and feel during a storm.

Analise you have made an amazing job of describing a storm.  You have used a simile: 

"the wind howls like a ghost" and lots of other great describing words.  

When I read your poem I could really see, hear and feel that storm!  Mrs Templeton

Alliterated Sentences

Alliteration

I am learning to write alliterated sentences.

Analise ate an apple.

"First I wrote all the words that start with the 'a' sound, then I wrote a sentence. It was a little bit hard, but it was fun."

Maths

Counting On

I am learning to count on from the bigger number.

“I write 5 plus 6 equals 6 plus 5 because I put the biggest number first.  Then I put the 6 in my head and counted the 5.”

Swimming

I have been learning to swim with my head in the water.  It is a bit tricky, but I am getting better.

In writing I have been writing  about my family.  I have been learning to use capital letters and full stops in the right places.

I found it a bit tricky to get all the capital letters right.
