The First Dog In Space

Reflection:

I have been learning to write information texts.

Today I found out that books can also be used for finding information

and can also be better than websites.

I got a lot better at explaining how things work

and using better words to explain my topic.

My next step is to work faster and find more facts.

Making Inferences

Inference Reflection:
we are learning to inference text by using our background knowledge and the things we know, and the text clues.

Earthworm Facts

The Space Adventure

Justify Inferences

My Reflection:

Today I found out how easy it was to find clues in paragraphs, sentences and

looking for the figurative language mostly, because it gives you a big clue about the story or

article. I can now read between the lines and find clues successfully.

My next step is to find better clues by asking people for help.

Place Value Partitioning

My reflection :

I am learning to use place value partitioning to solve

problems. Today I found out that there are two ways too

solve problems using place value partitioning.

One way is not breaking the first number up

just like the one I used. The second way is

breaking both up and minus the hundreds

with hundreds, tens with tens, and ones with

ones. I got a lot better at getting faster at

place value partitioning. I still wonder if

there is a third way of solving the problem

with place value partitioning.

Nonsense Poem

Breaking news!

Here is the news.

A pen,a pen,a pen.

An old and mundane pen.

                                                                                                

When it rains,

it gets pains.

When it’s hot,

it dries a lot.

When it’s sunny,

it gets a bit funny.

When it snows,

it gets buried very slow.

When you’re writing,

it gets a bit inviting.

When it gets older,

it doesn’t get put in a folder.

When you’re drawing,

you feel sorry for calling it boring.

That was the news!

A pen, a pen, a pen.

An old and mundane pen.

My nonsense poem reflection:

Today I explored how we can change a boring object

into an interesting and unique object by putting it in a poem.

I am the most proud of my rhymes because it actually

kind of makes sense if you read it carefully.

My next step is to add some more figurative language

like adjectives, metaphors, and similes.   

Summarising

We have been learning by finding the main idea in the text. The diagram above shows
how we identified the main idea. I enjoyed finding the main ideas in the story because
that tells you lots about the story. It was tricky to find the words that were repeated
over and over again because it was like a game of I spy and you had to work
hard. Next I will find more of the key words and improve on my reasons
why you had to look for words that are repeated over and over again,
look for the title, and looking at the first and last sentence.

Mokomoko facts

Reflection: We have been learning about mokomoko facts (lizard facts). We have been
taking care of our lizard garden so we can use the facts to take care of the lizards. It
was tricky to pick a lizard that might be in our lizard garden because there
were so many options. It was easy to describe the parts of the lizard because I
came up with good words that I got some ideas from my worksheet.
Next time I should describe or talk about the habitat because the
people that look at it will know where lizards can live.

Dear mum and dad,

                         

I can hear loud music banging like fireworks from the radio. I see lots of wooden shelves

With colourful items on them. I see hundreds of different people chatting with

their friends. The walls are as smooth as polished wood,  

and my feet can feel the very hard floor. The ceiling is as high as a skyscraper

and I taste delicious food when I walk out of the cafe.

I can smell a very cold and fresh smell in all of the rooms. The

Place has lots of interesting signs.

WHERE AM I?

From,
Timothy

Reflection: We have been learning to describe a setting using our senses.

I enjoyed using similes and using interesting words. It was tricky to describe the things I see

because it is hard to think of words that match and makes sense. It was easy to find words that are 

related to the sound because I am good at using words like "zoomed!" or "bang!" which are 

like words with sounds. Next time I should use more interesting words that describe smell.
