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, simile

Reflection: I wrote some similes.  I used describing words.  I first time I did it, it was very tricky.  Ghassan  22.11.17

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

Reflection:  I learned that every paper money has writing on the side.  This was a bit tricky - it is easier to add dollars.  The cents are hard. I know what they're all called,  I know how much they are.  Ghassan  21.11.17

Learning to identify the main ideas in a story

I am learning to:

• identify the main ideas in a story
• discuss the beginning, middle and ending of stories

Reflection
I have been trying to think of the main characters and the main ideas in my book.  
The sentences are sometimes a little bit hard but it is easier to work in the group.
