My Maths Graph



        My Reflection :
Last week I did a maths graph and I had to use my thinking brain to think of a really good question.When I had found my question I had to go around the class and ask the children the question that I came up with. Just over half of the class are really good at art probably because they love art and they also practice it a lot. I did not find anything tricky because I have been practicing math graphs a lot at home and at school. I loved doing this graph using Google Spreadsheet and I would like to do another one sometime soon using a pie graph.

Allegro Learns To Write

    Click on the book below to read the book me and Tianna wrote




               Allegro Learns to Write
 My Reflection:
 I am learning to write a better story because this is my second story with Tianna who was my buddy and she helped me write it. We were learning to put our speech marks in the right place and we were also learning to put our commas in the write place as well.

 I am so proud that we both worked as a team. It took awhile because we were working so hard on it
 together.  We did a good story because we used interesting words and we used proper sentences and we also used punctuation like speech marks.  They were very tricky.

Learning to write a recount as a poem


Did you ever...?
by Gemma


Did you ever…

go to the zoo?

monkeys swinging

animals eating

people laughing


Did you ever imagine
how long an elephant's trunk could be?
trunk drinking
trunk eating
lots of echoing

Precious moments having fun
Awesome memories 
spending time with family
I loved it.




My reflection:
I think  I’ve done a pretty good job because I followed the formula but I made a mistake when I was doing the second verse because I wrote about another experience. But I fixed it up and made the same verse of the story.  Next time I will make it the same verse about the same topic.

I liked writing a recount in a poem. It’s different from writing a recount with sentences.

comparing a poetry recount and regular recount









My reflection:
I think I've done a good job because I know a lot about a poetry recount now and a regular recount. I've never used a Venn diagram before to compare two things.  I did find it useful to compare writing styles.  I would like to do it again.
