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, similes




Reflection:  I used some great words to describe the sky with the fireworks.  I used words that sound just like what I could hear.  Next time I could use like or as to make a simile.

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

It was fun to make the amounts but the ten cent was tricky to move.  It was quite easy.  Next time I could have larger amounts, or I could have no total showing.

Inferring, Summarising and Language Features

I am learning to:

  • make simple inferences
  • summarise information (find key facts and ideas in the text)
  • Recognise and use a range of language features e.g. homonyms/antonyms, similes 



Reflection:  
It was quite hard to find the verbs when I was folding the flower.  Now I know they are things you have to do.  I was happy with my flowers and I enjoyed following the instructions to make them.  I found it quite tricky to answer the questions so I looked back into the book to find the answers.  Elisha  09.11.17
