Writing: All About Me!

This term I have been learning to:

• use a plan to help me write 3-4 ideas on a topic
• use capital letters and full stops correctly
• use WordArt to record words and phrases to describe ME!

My name is Ali and I am 7 years old.  My birthday is on November the 13th.  I have one sister.  Her name is Janelle and I have one brother.  His name is Jed and he's five years old.  Janelle is nine years old.  

My hobbies are roller skating.  Out of roller skates or roller blades, roller blades are my favourite.

Self Portait

This term I have been learning to sketch my face and identify hot and cold colours

Statistical Investigation

This term I have been learning to help with a statistical investigation.




I was learning to Tally and add numbers. It was easy to tally the number because it was the first thing we did.  I could add them together.  It was tricky to to talk about what I found out.
It was easier to answer questions.  Ali  28.03.18

Describing Fireworks

This term we have been learning to:

• use interesting words
• use describing words
• use our senses (what we see, hear, feel etc)
• use a language feature like:  onomatopoeia, simile

Reflection:
It was a bit tricky for me to spell the words but I didn't gave up.  It helped me to find the words I wanted on the word bank.  Next time I could use more describing words.

Reading with Fluency and Expression

I have been learning to read with fluency and expression:

• scan along with my eyes (not just reading word by word
• think of the first sound and get ready to say it
• Look for the punctuation - the beginning and end of sentences

Reflection:  I've got better at reading aloud.  I really keep looking at the words.  I felt proud when I heard it.  Its better than the other one.  Ali  22.11.17

Money Madness

We have been learning to:

• recognise and identify NZ coins and notes and their values
• make amounts by totalling coins and notes using tens and ones
• make amounts in different ways

Reflection:  It was a bit tricky, I had to think hard about which notes and coins to use.
It was easier to have the total on so that I could see how much more I needed.
