Trip to Te Tuhi

Last Tuesday we went to Te Tuhi. We saw pretty paintings. The paintings had my favourite colours. Then we hugged the sculpture. It was very big. Then we painted colour wheels. We also smelled the coffee and food from the café. I felt happy when we mixed the colours.

Making a plan for my story

We are learning to make a plan. We can make a plan for any story. Making a plan helps us to remember what happened and to write about it. We need to remember to have a topic and at least 3 ideas about the topic in our plan. It is easy to make a plan.

Counting on and down from the bigger number

We are learning to count on and down from the bigger number. I have learnt that counting on means starting at the number after and counting down means starting at the number before.

Adding detail

Adding detail means our story can answer the questions who, where, when, what how and why. Detail means there will be more information . It makes the story more interesting. It makes a picture in the reader's head. It can be tricky to add detail.

Contractions

We have been learning about noticing contractions. Contraction is a word made by squashing 2 words together. Some letters pop out of the 2 words and they are not in the contraction. Contractions have a punctuation mark like a comma sticking in the air in the middle.

"It is tricky to notice contractions when I am reading."

Writing with Capital Letters and Full Stops

"We learnt to put capital letters.  It was tricky.  They go after the full stops.  It was hard to know where the full stops go."
