I am Learning to Find and Summarise Information in texts by Skimming and Scanning.

I am in Pascal group for reading. We have been learning about skimming and scanning texts in order to find information. If you need to find certain information, it is easier and faster to skim and scan the text instead of reading the whole story.

Reading Response

Book: Picnic Weather

Name 2 Main Characters:

1. Nick

2. Anna

What was the problem?

They don't know what the weather is like so they didn't know what to wear for the school picnic.

What was the solution?

The heard the weather forecaster.

My Reflection

I think that i did a good job of skimming the text to find the problem and solution.

It is easier to skim quickly instead of reading the whole story through.

Sometimes it can be tricky to get the information because I miss things out when skimming fast.

I am Learning to Try My Best.

I participated in the Junior Cross Country. We have been practicing every Tuesday and Thursday this term. I came in 3rd place!

I am Learning to Identify 2D and 3D Shapes.

In Room 8 we have been learning about Geometry. We have looked at different 2D and 3D shapes and their different parts. We learned that shapes have different numbers of sides, faces, edges and corners of vertices.

We had a lot of fun making monsters out of different shapes!

My shape's name is Gaga because he says gaga a lot. His shape is 2D. He is a trapezoid. He likes to play around.

My Reflection
I think that I did a good job with my monster because he is very cute.
I found geometry hard because it's hard to remember all of the different names of the shapes.
The easiest part was counting the sides of 2D and 3D shapes.
I liked learning about shapes.

I am Learning to Write a Cinquain Poem.

In Room 8 we have been learning how to write a cinquain poem. These poems have a special order that the words have to be put in. We have practiced writing cinquains in our writing books and published our most recent poems on Spring.

Success Criteria:

- All words must relate to the topic.

- The second line must contain two adjectives.

- The third line must contain three verbs with an -ing ending.

- The fourth line must be a four word sentence about Spring.

Spring

Peaceful, colourful

Running, jumping, floating

Baby animals are cute

Lovely

My Reflection

It was super easy to write a cinquain poem because Miss Clegg told us the instructions.

I already knew what a verb was because I learned it in Room 1. I had not learned about adjectives before.

It was a bit tricky to spell 'lovely' and sometimes I get mixed up.

I think that my poem is fabulous and I did a great job!
