Term 2 Reading 2014

I am learning to listen to and interact with other group members when discussing issues that arise in different text forms.

Mrs Small: What do you like best about reading?

Hannah: I like asking questions to find out more about the story. I like reading chapter books. 

My place in Christchurch

A Place that is important to me in Christchurch..

My church because my nana goes to the same one. 

The 

Bridge of Remembrance is also important because my great grandpa died in the war.

Art Attack Term 2

My drawing of still life at the workshop by Mr Shaskey.

We are learning to ...

• plan a drawing using the elements of line, tone, texture, colour, form, shape, and space
• use the techniques of sketching, using the correct brush strokes, colour mixing, texturing, and applying a black border.
• communicate and interpret my idea of a kowhaiwhai pattern.

Student comment: I like my painting because I likes where I put the colours.

Term 2 Published Storywriting

We are learning to write a recount

We know when we have done this when we have…

·       An introduction telling who, what and where

·       Events in sequence

·       Sentences starting in different ways

·       Describing words to create a picture in the mind of the reader

·       A conclusion/ending/personal response

Term 1 2014 Written Language

WALT write a timed recount about a time when we did something special with our whanau or family.

Write about:

·      when and where you did something special

·      who was with you

·      what you did (think about the order you did things)

·      how you felt and why you felt this way.

By Hannah Wallace

When I was five, my family and I went to Bealey in the school holidays. It took us three hours to get there. When we got there we had to find where we were going to stay. We stayed there for three days. The second day we were there, we went down to a near river. Beside the river there were lots of stones. I picked up a really heavy stone and threw it into the big river. For dinner and breakfast I had scrambled eggs.

Next steps

Write a few more details with some describing words to create that picture in the mind of the reader.

Remember to finish with a personal response.
