Reading Group Kotuku

I am learning to make connections between the text and my prior knowledge.

I'll know I can do this when I can share what I already know about a topic prior to reading and make connections throughout the text.

Next time I would like to be able to read more chapter books.

Maths Group Rectangles

I am learning to solve addition and subtraction problems by exchanging ones for tens, and tens for hundreds (decompoosition), leading to a written algorithm.

I'll know I can do this when I can use column adding to solve problems.

Something I found hard was completing it by myself.

Writing:Informatian Report.

I am learning to write an informatian report.

I'll know I can do this when I can plan and write an information reports with a title, topic sentence, and a group of facts about a subject.

Something I learned was is that when you do linking your hand has to get used to it.

Here is my Ruru Report:

Rurus eat wetas, beetles, huhu bugs mice and rats.

What are they?

Rurus are the only surviving owls in New Zealand.

Who are there predators if any?

Rurus predators are possums.

Art Attack: Don Binney

I am learning to create art inspired by Don Binney.

I'll know I can do this when I have created a landscape with a foreground, middle, and background.

My bird and my background are coloured using pastels and natural colours.

Something I found hard was making it so that there were no white gaps.

Learner Qualities: Empathise

I am learning how to empathise.

I'll know I can do this when I can identify a variety of ways I can show empathy to others.

One way I have shown empathy is by knowing how someone felt when they fell over.
