Summarising Simple Solutions

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 Simple Solution, it was about a truck stuck under a bridge.

I found it easy to read the book.

I found it hard to write the things

Next time I have to work on remembering the things without looking in the book.

Post Card

In writing we have been learning to think about the writers point of view. We are reading the book"the folk of the far away tree" by Enid Blyton in class. The book is about a little girl 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 Far away 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 post card from Connie to her mother, trying to think about what Connie would say.

I found it easy to write the name

I found it hard to write the discripshon

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 cut out the things.

I found it easy to glue the things.

Next time I need to work on drawing the things.
