Reflection on my term two's learning

This term I enjoyed reading The bridge to Terabitha. It was challenging but interesting. I think I learned a lot of new words like cuss ( swear)  anxiety ( worry) and lots more.






What part of my learning did I find difficult and challenging you ask. I found building bridges challenging. The most challenging part was when we had to hot glue gun the glad wrap rolls to the wood. Threading the wire was also difficult.


Next term I want to learn my percentages. Why because we have them in our basic facts stage 6 sheet and I want to master the basic facts stage 6 sheet

Ki Ora (hello) this week is Maori language week and it is the end of the Matariki  (Maori new year). Did you know that Matariki means tiny eyes. I have been learning about some new words like awe rawe (awesome) marama (moon) and others. If you would like to hear more come to room 10 and I will show you were I learnt them.

Writing/Reading

I have been reading my Hotumauea story  to room 4 and room 2. I love doing this because they always give me good advice and really nice comments. Also I love setting good examples and being a role model.  It gives the little Juniors imagination in how they can write good stories.

Writing

 Today I have started a story about two families that both believe in different things. One family believes that fitness is the best and one believes that watching T.V. is better. This is a story that will help you understand that you should do your fitness before you relax and watch T.V.

The Bridge to Terabithia

For the last couple of weeks the shooting stars have been reading  The bridge to Terabithia. I am up to chapter 8 called Easter. Each chapter we read we have questions and vocabulary.I will tell you about The Bridge to Terabithia.The main character's are Jess,Leslie Burke and Prince Terrien (a puppy). They have invented Terabithia a sacred place. Only the two of them know about it.
My favourite part so far is when Jess gives Leslie Prince Terrien . I think this story is challenging my thinking because we have to answer tricky questions, find the meaning of new vocabulary and we have some enrichment activities to do.
