Making a plan for my writing

We need to have only one or a few words in our plan. The plan has to be about the topic. It needs 3 or more ideas. When we use the plan to do our writing, we need to write 2 or more sentences about each idea. The plan helps us to remember what happened. We need to start and end our writing with a sentence about the topic.

It was easy to make a plan. First it was hard, but then it got easier. I feel great about my writing because I like writing.

Counting on and down from the bigger number

I know how to count on and down from the bigger number. We have to start at the number after to count on and the number before to count down. Sometimes I find it tricky to count down.

Putting full stops in the right places

I am learning to put full stops in the right places. I know that I have to put full stops at the end of every idea. It is easy to put full stops in the right places.

Swimming fun

At swimming sports we had all kinds of races. We had different numbers on our hands. The parents and teachers were there. We were cheering for our friends. Michael and I won the dolphin dive race. I liked the bit when we won because we were so happy.

Learning about fractions-- half and quarter

Here I was learning about half and quarter.  I found it tricky to show quarters of a shape. Now I know that quarter means 1 part out of 4.

Features of fiction texts

We are learning about the features of fiction texts. They are characters, setting and plot. The plot has a problem and a solution. Characters are the people in the story. I find it easy to talk about these features for different books.

Counting on from the bigger number

We are learning to count on from the bigger number. We have to start at the number after the bigger number. Then we have to look at the other number to know how many more to count. It can be tricky for me to count on from the bigger number.
