Trip to Te Tuhi

We had fun when we went to Te Tuhi last week. We went on the bus. We heard the noises of making coffee. We mixed colours to paint the colour wheels. It was fun to go on the bus.

Making a plan for my story

We are learning to make a plan. We can make a plan for any story. Making a plan helps us to remember what happened and to write about it. We need to remember to have a topic and at least 3 ideas about the topic in our plan. It is easy to make a plan.

Different strategies to spell words for story writing

We were learning to look in different places for words that we want to write. We look in the word cards, the red folder and around the room. We also sound out words.

We use the word cards so that it does not take us very long to write our stories. 

I find it easy to find words in different places.

Fractions

"Here I was learning about fractions. I found it tricky to write quarter in numbers. I will need to practise doing this."

Ordering numbers to 20

We are learning about numbers to 20. We had to order the numbers from smallest to biggest. We had to think about which is the smallest number and which is the biggest number. Then we had to count to find out what came next after every number.

" It was easy to order the numbers from smallest to biggest."

Root words

We have been learning about root words. Root words are words that have s, ed or ing  as endings. We can make different words with different endings.

"It is a bit tricky to find root words."

Writing with Capital Letters and Full Stops

I'm learning about my capital letters.  It was tricky.   The capital letter goes at the start of the sentence.  I need to think about my words.
