Term 2 Reading 2014

I am learning to read silently, clarify unfamiliar words or phrases, question others about the story, summarise the text in my own words and find the important information in what I read and to reflect upon what I read.

Mrs Small: What do you like best about reading?

Teri: I can really get a picture in my mind and all the books we read are really good.

My place in Christchurch

A Place that is important to me in Christchurch..

The Botanic Gardens because of the fountains and I used to be able to go paddling in it.

TERM 2 ART ATTACK

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 am proud of my art work because I think it looks really good. I used korus, mountains and the sea in my design.

At the Movies

I went to the movies with my family. I could hear and smell the delicious popping popcorn and fizzy drink. We got our seats and finished the movie. Then we went to the shop to get me a toy because I was good. It was great.

Next steps

Your title was At the Movies but you did not mention its name or what it was about. Some more details would have helped.

Why was it great?
