Mokomoko

Refection:  We have been learning about Lizards because we are looking after the lizard garden in our school.  Something I enjoyed was cleaning up the lizard garden.  Something I found tricky was picking out the most information in the mokomoko fact sheet.  Next I will remember to use a glove while gardening to protect my hands.

Summarising

We have been learning to summarize by finding the main ideas in a text.
The diagram above shows how we identified the main ideas. Something I enjoyed was finding the clues. Something I found tricky was summarising in a short version. I will keep practising how to summarise.

Dear Mum and Dad,

I can hear happy people chattering and laughing.  The waves are splashing at my feet.  I can see golden sand that feels like sugar.  There is lots of lush grass tickling my feet. The sky is blueberry blue. I can smell the salty sea and the fresh breeze in the air. The water tastes salty. The sun is lemon yellow and boiling hot. I see lots of people splashing in the warm water. The road is cement grey and a little bit warm on my toes.

Where am I?

From, Annabelle

Reflection:  We have been learning to describe a setting by using our senses.
I enjoyed finding words that describes the sight. I found it tricky to make interesting  sentences.  Next time I will add more detail to my sentences.
