I am Learning to Use Punctuation Correctly.

Last week we celebrated Matariki with a pyjama and breakfast morning at school!
It was lots of fun and gave us good ideas to write about. Our focus in writing has been on using different types of punctuation correctly.

I need to:
- Use at least two different types of punctuation.
- Use the punctuation in a way that makes my writing more interesting.
- Put the punctuation in the right places.


Oh my gosh! I forgot to get into my school clothes! Haha no I didn't in fact all the year 2s wore their pjs to school for the Matariki breakfast. I had toast and cornflakes. After that we went into Room 9 and watched a video.

My Reflection

I did a good job with my punctuation because I put the full stops and exclamation marks in the right places.
It can be tricky because sometimes I don't know know where to put it.
I think that I will try to use exciting punctuation in my writing sometimes.

I am Learning to Recognise and Read Long Vowel Sounds and Silent E.

I am in Sven group for Reading, we are working at Orange level. We have been learning to read and recognise long vowel sounds and silent e in words.

I need to:
- recognise the correlation between long vowel sounds and silent e.
- know the difference between short and long vowel sounds in a word.
- be able to read words with long vowel sounds and silent e.


My Reflection

I am not proud of my reading because I took a long time to read the words.
It can be tricky to read because the silent e changes the whole word.
I can get better at this by trying my hardest.
