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.

We went to the pool and we did jump jam. I thought my watch was lost but I didn't care. It was an hour. It was amazing. We did jump jam for an hour. The best part was free swimming for 3 minutes. When we got out it was cold.

My Reflection

I think that I did a good job of my writing because it is really long and I tried hard to add detail. It is tricky to add detail because it's hard to think of different things really fast. It is important to add detail to writing because it makes it longer and more interesting.

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

I am in Toru for maths and we have been learning how to solve subtraction problems by counting back from the largest number. We started with single digit numbers and moved on to double digit numbers.

My Reflection

I think that I did an amazing job of counting backwards. It is easy to solve subtraction problems by counting back. It can be tricky when the numbers are bigger. 

I am Learning to Find Information from a Text.

I am in Thumper Group for Reading. I am Reading at Green Level 14. We have been learning how to find information from a text.  We read the nonfiction book Cats and made a mind map to show the different facts that we learned.

My Reflection

I think that I did good to find different facts about cats. It is kind of tricky to find facts in books because you have to turn a million pages. I liked reading about cats because they are cute!

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.
