Reading term 4

I use the reading eggspress app to to practise my reading skills.

This page shows the library on reading eggspress where you go to read books. I read books and do quizzes to get eggs.

Technology term 4

This term we were in Mrs. Ward's technology group.

What I thought I did well was that I made my label very strong and helped others. What I could have done better was use wider tape. 

Reading term 4

WALT: Ask good questions to clarify our understanding and to find out information about a topic.

This is the question our group thought that this was the best one when we first started. We chose to stay with this one.

The text we read : We highlighted words or ideas we didn't understand in red. Then we talked about erosion: what it is and the damage it caused.

Writing term 4

One Sunday morning my family and I were getting up out of bed. Suddenly there was a rattling. We all quickly got under the table and the house fell. My dad said "is everyone alright"

"I want to do it again" said Tom. 

"Well you can't" yelled dad now our house has been destroyed by the earthquake. I don't want to have to live on the street with no house I said. After a year of living on the on the side of the street a tall man with a big black suit on came to us. He said why are here you should be in a house.

 Come with me you can all come and live with me in my 2 story house. 

"Www well ok". He did look very rich so I asked him if he 

"could get us some clothes" and he said 

"sure" 

"thank you so much" I said. Now we all were as happy as anyone could ever be. So after all those things we did. He gave us lots of money so we could buy a house again. That man became my dad's best friend after that. Two days a week we would go fishing with him and get ice creams he was like an uncle to me. Then he got married to a lady called Joanna and they had 2 kids called Larry and Bob. Larry was 8 and Bob was 7. Sometimes we would go over for sleepovers and have midnight feasts. 

I chose this example because:

it was a big piece of writing and had lots of describing words.

Comment from the teacher:

You have some interesting ideas Alfie.  Now you need to look at organising your information into groups (paragraphs). Then you can add more information into some of the shorter sentences.  Look at the sentence below.  Where could you separate it into a paragraph that would help your reader to get a sense of time?

 I don't want to have to live on the street with no house I said. After a year of living on the . . . . .

How I used the information in this comment to improve my writing:

I grouped my writing put more information in it.

What I need to work on now to improve my writing is:

to describe what the kids and the mum looked like.
