The sun is as bright as a chandelier and the grass as green as emeralds. The waterfall splashes down a small hill that looks like a stone staircase. The trees are waving in the wind like a bunch of people saying 'hi.' The snowy moutnains are as big as giants and the clouds as puffy as cotton-tail bunnies.
The wolf was not the meanest wolf of all but he had a clever brain. He sneaks as quiet as a ninja. His teeth and claws are as sharp as spikes and his eyes are as red as lava. Waiting in the forest for his dessert! He's as fast as humming birds and not a normal kind of wolf and tricks people to their death. Who dares to follow him?
Reflection: I wrote about 5 similes. I used some good describing words like snowy, bright.
It was hard for me to think about what I was writing about. Zion 14.08.18
In Term 2 and 3, we have been learning to make music using Boomwhackers. It was so much fun.
This term I have been learning to read for information, to summarise some main ideas and to use 'Poster My Wall' to present my facts.
Reflection: It was hard to find the answers to some of my questions. Next time I might make my questions a little easer so I could find information. Zion 27.08.18
Reflection: It was easy to work out the adding by doing it in hundreds, tens and ones. I managed to make thousands, hundreds, tens and ones.
This term I have been learning to use a range of comprehension skills:
predicting, inferring, retelling, sequencing, vocabulary, making connections.
Reflection: It was hard to think of a connection when I read the Green Team. I could read most of the stories, I was good at writing my prediction of what might happen next in Zapped. It was tricky to finish it all. Zion 26.06.18
