I am Learning to Make Simple Inferences.

I am in Pascal group for reading and we have been learning to make simple inferences. An inference is when you know something even though it is not actually written in the story. You can make an inference by looking for clues in the story and illustrations.

My Reflection

I think that Mrs McFee was funny. It was easy to think of words to describe the main character because I just thought about her. I made some inferences about the story like how she loves flowers because they are on her clothes and hats.

I am Learning to Solve Subtraction Problems by Counting back from the Largest Number.

I am in Toru group for maths and we have been learning how to solve subtraction problems by counting back from the largest number. We do this by holding the biggest number in our heads and counting back on our fingers.

My Reflection

I think that I am okay at solving subtraction problems. It is in the middle, not too hard and not too easy, to solve the equations. I think that I might be able to solve problems with bigger numbers too. Counting back is a good way to work out take aways.

I am Learning to add Detail to my Writing.

Room 8 has been learning how to add detail into our writing to make it more interesting. We can think about the questions: Who? What? Where? When? How? and Why? to help us add this detail.
We have recently started swimming again and chose this shared experience to write about.

One day the class was swimming except me. I pretended that I was sick and got to stay home. When my mum went toilet, I snuck out and went to the ocean. I tamed a megalodon and whale. We went to the pool. My class went crazy and got out of the pool.

My Reflection

I think that I did an okay job of my writing. I could try harder to add detail. It is hard to add detail because you have to write lots. I think that I will try to add detail in my other writing and keep practising.

I am Learning to Draw Patterns.

Room 8 made flower headbands for the Term 4 Wearable Arts Show. We copied and created new patterns to put onto the different petals. We worked hard on our art and had a lot of fun making and displaying it.
