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

It was tricky to find new facts and information from the book because some words were hard to read. I liked reading about cats. My favourite part of the book was learning about food for cats to eat.

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 it is tricky to solve take away problems because you need to say it out loud  and it is scary to be on video.  Counting back from the biggest number is a good way to work out subtraction problems. I think that I could do it with even bigger numbers! The biggest numbers ever!

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.

On Friday Room 8 went to the pool. I didn't go to the pool because my mum said it's cold. We had jump jam in the pool. After that I went back to class and it was lunch time. We did jump jam. I felt good because I was not swimming. Yay!

My Reflection

I think that I did a good job of my writing because I tried to add detail. I think that it is easy to add detail because we have questions to help us (who, what, where, when, how, why?). I will try to add detail to my writing everyday to make it more interesting. I like writing.
