Postcard

In writing we have been learning to think about the writers point of view.We are reading the book 'The Faraway Tree' by Enid Blyton in class.The book is about a little girl called Connie whose mother is ill so she is sent to live with her Mothers friend and her children Jo,Bessie and Franny.The children show her the Faraway tree and to begin with she doesn't believe them.

We have been talking about how Connie might have felt and what she would have said to her mother.We decided to write a post card from Connie to her Mother,trying to think about what Connie would say.

I found nothing hard and it was easy.

I found it easy to type on the computer.

Next time I need to work on doing it faster.  

Story Telling

During our Te Tuhi workshop 'Creative Stories' we learnt about the different ways a story can be told.we explored our story 'The Lorax through role play and then created our own poster.

I found it hard to cut the drawings out.

I found it easy to draw on the paper .

Next time I need to work on drawing much more better.

Volume Challenge

For maths week, we have been learning about measurement.Yesterday we talked about volume.We learnt that to work out the volume of a shape you use length x width x height. Out challenge was to work in pairs and use the unlink cubes to make as many different creations as we could, with a volume of 8.

I found it easy to add the length ,width and height.

I found it hard to make different creations in the blocks.

Next time I need to work on making more creations.

Blended Giraffe

I had to practice using different line and blending techniques to create a realistic looking giraffe. I found it easy to follow the teachers instructions to create the giraffe shape. It was difficult to keep all the parts in perspective. Next time I will try harder to use blending to show dark and light.
