Learning to Make a Connection

I am learning to make a personal connection to the text.

• think of a time when...

Reflection:  It was hard for me to make a connection.  I liked talking about it in my group.  Tsung Wai  22.08.17

Well done Tsung Wai, you showed great resilience by trying your best and having a go.  Keep asking for help when you need it.  Mrs Templeton  22/09/17

Geometry: Classifying 3D shapes

I have been learning to, name, sort, describe and classify 3D shapes using my own words and the language of geometry



I could name the shapes.  I could check them with the shapes and count the edges.
It was a little bit tricky.  Tsung Wai  18.08.17

Well done Tsung Wai, you managed really well with this challenge.  You have learned the names really quickly and can identify things about each shape.  Mrs Templeton 18.08.17

Maori Patterns: Tā moko

In Term 2 and 3 we have been learning about Maori patterns.  We went to the Auckland museum.  Look at my moko!  At the Te Tuhi art gallery, we created our "WE ARE AOTEAROA, NEW ZEALAND" art.  It looks amazing on our classroom wall.

Choosing words to add interest to my Writing

I am learning to choose words to add interest to my Writing

Welcome to Autumn

Autumn leaves fell all over Elm Park School. This gave us a great idea. We used Kidpix to make our own leaves and illustrate our awesome autumn writing.

Learning about the plot, setting and characters in a story

I am learning to...

• discuss the plot, 
• explain the setting
• describe the characters

Learning to Plan my Writing

I am learning to use a plan to organise my ideas for writing.

I will be successful when:

• I plan my ideas before I write
• I use quick pictures and words
• I think of first, after, next
• my writing includes the ideas from my plan

I think I can do it.  I could think of the ideas and write them.  I just used words.  Tsung Wai 10.04.17

A great beginning to planning.  I like the way you used quick pictures and words. This will help you write longer and more interesting stories over several days.  Mrs Templeton
