Recount Writing

I am learning to write a recount about my experiences.

• sequence my ideas
• add details to my ideas
• use punctuation
• use time words e.g. later, after, next, first, finally
• use interesting words

Counting Money and Giving Change

I am learning to recognise the value of NZ coins, to add totals and give change.




I can add up the coins but I couldn't give the change.  I need to practise more with money

A great try with Money Tiffany.  Giving change is a bit tricky.  Keep practising at home.

Predicting, Inferring and Exploring Vocabulary

I am learning to predict, make inferences and explore vocabulary.



I found it easier to predict and to infer but the explaining the meaning of the jokes was hard. Next time, we could ask each other and talk in our group to help us understand more. 

A good effort with a tricky task created to challenge you as a fluent reader.  Next time you can definitely spend more time talking about the task and looking up the meaning of words you are unsure of.  Mrs Templeton 15.11.16
