Summarising The Dragon who had the Measles

For reading we have been learning to summarise the text. We have done this by using the who, what, where, when, why and how questions. The book we were reading was called The Dragon who had the Measles, it is about a dragon who has measles and gives them to the princess.

I found easy to write things.
I found it tricky to read the tricky words.
Next time I need to work on writing.

Post Card

In writing we have been learning to think about the writers point of view. We are reading the book "The Faraway Tree" by Enid Blyton on class. The book is about a little girls called Connie whose mother is ill so she is sent to live with her Mothers friend and her children Jo, Bessie and Franny. The children show her the Faraway tree and to begin with she doesn't believe them.

We have been talking about how Connie might have felt and what she would have said to her Mother. We decided to write a postcard from Connie to her Mother, trying to think about what Connie would say.

I found it hard to write the story.

I found it easy to rember all the stuff in my story. 

Next time I need to work on more writing.

Story Telling

During our Te Tuhi workshop "Creative Stories" we learnt about the different ways a story can be told. We explored our story "The Lorax" through role play and then created our own poster.

I found it hard to draw the bar bar loots. 

I found it easy to draw the trees. 

Next time i need to work on drawing more things.  

Volume Challenge

For maths week, we have been learning about measurement. Yesterday we talked about volume. We learnt that to work out the volume of a shape you use length x width x height. Our challenge was to work in pairs and use the unlink cubes to make as many different creations as we could, with a volume of 8

I found it easy to stack the cubes into a tower

I found it hard to wright it 

Next time I need to work on is making more creations.
