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 was called Simple Solution it was about pulling a truck out of a bridge.

It was easy to awnser the questions.

It was hard to awnser some of the quetions because some of them were hard.

Next time I need to work on awsering the questions better.

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 friends 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 to her mother,trying to think about what Connie would say.

I found it hard to think about what I was going to write.

I found it easy to write the name aderes 

Next time I need to work on is thinking about what to write.

Story Telling

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

I found it hard to cut the shapes out.

I found it easy to draw the things.

next time I need to work on cutting out the things.

Blended Giraffe

I had to practice using different line and blending techniques to create a realistic looking giraffe. I found it easy to follow the teachers instructions to create the giraffe shape. It was difficult to keep all the parts in perspective. Next time I will try harder to use blending to show dark and light.
