Learning to identify the main ideas in a story

I am learning to:

• identify the main ideas in a story
• discuss the beginning, middle and ending of stories

Reflection:
It's hard to retell the story because sometimes it takes a while.  I like doing easy books, shorter stories are easy.  Tsung Wai  23.11.17

Money Madness

We have been learning to:

• recognise and identify NZ coins and notes and their values
• make amounts by totalling coins and notes using tens and ones

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
