I Am Learning To Chunk My Words

I am in Pukekoes for Reading and we have been learning to use different reading strategies. 

I need to look for chunks (word parts) that I know to help me read the word quickly.

My Reflection
I am learning to chunk my words. I found this easy to chunk the words. I need to remember to use this with harder words.

I Am Learning To Create A Self Portrait

I drew my self portrait using a sketching pencil.

I needed to think about size, shape and position of body parts

I coloured my self portrait using pastels.

I needed to think about using colours effectively by blending different pastel colours

I coloured my background using pastels.

I needed to think about using warm and cool colours for effect
My Reflection
I am learning to create a self portrait. I found this tricky to do the main parts of the body. The next step for me might be to have more help drawing it. I think I want help with Mrs Beach because I'm not really good at thinking.

I Am Learning to Read Bar Graphs and Talk About the Results

I need to:

*read the data (information) on the graph

*identify the lowest (fewest) and highest (most) bars

*read the quantities

*compare the data on the graph

*answer questions about the data (information) on the graph

 Manawa

The blue one has the most games and he has 11 games. The green one has the least games and he has 7 games.

My Reflection 
I am leaning to see how many people there are.
It can be tricky to see how many people there were. 
I am so proud of  my learning.
The next step for me might be to help someone else.

I am learning to use capital letters and full stops

I am learning to use capital letters correctly:

I use a capital letter at the beginning of a sentence.

I use a capital letter for the word ‘I.’

I use a capital letter for names of things.

I am learning to use full stops correctly:

I use a full stop at the end of a sentence.

When I grow up I want to be the police because I can put stealers in jail.

My Reflection 

I am learning to see where the full stops and capital letters go.
It can be tricky to spell jail.
I am so proud of my writing 
The next step for me might be to get some of these words right. 
The teacher can help me when i get things wrong.

Reading Eggs

I am learning to make the first and last sounds so I can work out the word for myself.  Reading Eggs helps to reinforce my learning.

"I can read the sounds on the quiz so that I can learn how to spell the word" said Manawa.
