Using Notes and Coins

Reflection: It was easy to add some of the money up but some were hard  to do. Next time I will need a bit harder maths to do.  

Meaning of Words

Reflection:  It was hard to think about if the word meanings were right .  I know if I don't know some thing I can search it up in a dictionary . It was easy to do some of the words but some words were hard. Next time I will need some help.  I have been learning to figure out what the words mean.

Wearable Arts

This year we created headbands, pois and a class piuiu (Maori skirt) for our Wearable Arts.  We combined Maori and Pacific cultures to send a message about "How Far Will You Go.... to save the oceans from plastic."  We used a Maori Version of the song from Moana. 

Learning to Add 2-Digit Numbers

This term I have been learning to add 2-digit numbers by splitting into tens and ones to solve.

Making Music

In Term 2 and 3 we have been learning to make music using Boomwhackers.  It was so much fun.

Describing a Setting

This term I have been learning to describe a setting:
Success Criteria:

• use describing words
• use language features e.g. similes and alliteration,
• use my senses (see, hear, feel,)
• hook the reader into feeling what it was like

The sun rises up making the clouds a pinky, orange 
colour.  The water splashes down like a waterfall.  The
grass is light green and the mountain is as tall as the 
Sky Tower.  It pulls me in like I was there. 

Reflection: It was hard to think of words to describe the picture. It was easy to do think of some words. I could use a simile about the mountain.  I used some describing words to describe the colour of the clouds. 

Reading for Information

This term I have been learning to read for information, to answer questions, summarise key ideas and present my facts using 'Poster My Wall'.

Reflection:  

It was hard to spell the words croectly. It was easy to pick the photo. It was intresting to find out more facts about snails. I learnt that snails are very intresting. Next time I need more help on it.Now I need to do more thinking not rushing.
