Strategies we have been using to help us with subtraction.

Reflection Journal

This week in reading we have been learning to infer. Schema + clues from the text = Inferring. We have been 'reading between the lines' and thinking about books that are JRFM. We read/watched The Wreck of the Zephyr.

This week in writing we have been learning to use sentence punctuation. We started our writing groups where we give each other feedback. We have to be kind but honest.

This week in numeracy people have been learning about timetables, place value, negative numbers and digits.

This week in inquiry we learnt what the word multicultural means, which is about different people from different countries. We experienced activities from different cultures, like Thai food.

This week in science we learnt about hard boiled eggs.

This week in PE we were practising T ball skills.

This week in Art we designed our own Google logo.

This week in ICT we made a list of passwords.

Punctuation Points

We edited this piece of writing using the above scoring system. How many points can you score?

there it was hovering in the doorway like a bee around honey it seemed to be gazing at something that I couldnt quite see whilst the shadows seemed to be getting darker and gloomier by the minute I slowly took a small step to left so as to get a better view it couldnt be an insect because it didnt have wings yet it certainly was living as it was moving my eyes were mini cameras trying to zoom into focus mysteriously the object began to make sudden jerky movements what was it doing

it was time to dig deep to find whatever courageous feelings I had and move towards the entity the smell of rust and electrical fumes hung in the air making it harder to breathe maybe this was something to do with the object like a lion stalking its prey I cautiously tiptoed through the jungle of jagged paving slabs into the unknown it was so eerie silence became a distant memory as suddenly large mechanical what seemed to be robots were being lined up side by side now i understood I whispered

Very well deserved!!!!
