I am Learning to Use Punctuation Correctly.

Last week we celebrated Matariki with a pyjama and breakfast morning at school!

It was lots of fun and gave us good ideas to write about. Our focus in writing has been on using different types of punctuation correctly.

I need to:

- Use at least two different types of punctuation.

- Use the punctuation in a way that makes my writing more interesting.

- Put the punctuation in the right places.

In the morning we went to jump jam with our pjs! After we had Matariki breakfast! I had some rice pop and some fruit and some toast. The fruit tasted like sweet candy.

My Reflection

I am proud of using exclamation marks correctly.

It can be a bit tricky to put punctuation in the correct places.

I will try my best to put the punctuation in the right places.

I am Learning to Skip Count in Twos.

I am in Wha group for Maths. We have been learning to skip count in 2s.

I need to:

- recognise the number pattern when skip counting in 2s

- be able to skip count in 2s to 100

My Reflection
I find skip counting in twos a bit hard, but I think I did a good job.
I think that I might be able to skip count in twos up to 100.
Skip counting helps us to count faster.

I am Learning to Predict and Re Predict as I Read.

I am in Pascal group for Reading, we are working at Turquoise. We have been learning to predict what will happen in a story and then re predict as we read. It is important to remember that it is okay for a prediction to be wrong!

I need to:

- Use picture information to make a guess as to what the story is about

- look for clues in the text that tell you what might happen next

- use clues from the text to make changes to my predictions

We read the story: The Hailstorm

Prediction 1:

By looking at the front cover, I think that the characters will be playing with a ball and then the sky will turn black and they will go into a shed.

Prediction 2:

After reading to page 8, I have found out that my prediction was right! I have made a new prediction about what is going to happen next. I think that the characters will open the door and look and it is still raining. They will wait in the shed until it stops.

What really happened:

After reading the whole book, I have found out that both of my predictions were right. Something also happened that I didn't predict, there came snow!

My Reflection
I am proud of  think that I looked for clues on the front cover and in the story well so that I could think about what might happen.
I will think very hard when making predictions.
It is okay for my predictions to be wrong because they are just my thoughts.
