I am Learning to Make Simple Inferences.

I am in Pascal group for reading and we have been learning to make simple inferences. An inference is when you know something even though it is not actually written in the story. You can make an inference by looking for clues in the story and illustrations.

My Reflection

It was hard to write about the main character because I nearly forgot the whole entire story. I have made some inferences about the story like how Mrs McFee likes colourful things. It doesn't say it in the story, but I know that she does because she wears lots of colourful things.

I am Learning to Count to 20 in Maori.

I am in Wha group for Maths. we have been learning how to count to 20 in Te Reo Maori. Most of us learned how to count to 10 in Year 1 so we focused on numbers 11-20.

My Reflection

I am good at counting in Maori and I find it very easy to do. I learned how to count to 10 in Maori in Year 1.

I am Learning to add Detail to my Writing.

Room 8 has been learning how to add detail into our writing to make it more interesting. We can think about the questions: Who? What? Where? When? How? and Why? to help us add this detail.
We have recently started swimming again and chose this shared experience to write about.

On Friday we went swimming with the Year Twos. We did Jump Jam. We haven't been swimming in a long time. When I went in it was cold. When I was moving I felt more warm. We had free time in the water. It was a great day.

My Reflection

I think  that I did a fabulous job of my writing, but I was worried that I did not add enough detail. It can be hard to add detail because it is hard to think about them all. It is important to add detail to your writing because it tells more ideas and makes it more interesting.

I am Learning to Draw Patterns.

Room 8 made flower headbands for the Term 4 Wearable Arts Show. We copied and created new patterns to put onto the different petals. We worked hard on our art and had a lot of fun making and displaying it.
