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.

I feel proud of my writing because it was quite hard to think and write my story. I find writing fun.

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

We went to the swimming sports at the school swimming pool. My teacher wrote two numbers on our hands so we could take part in the right race. I was in race number two and five. We were even cheering for our friends. I liked the noodle horse race because I was third.

Learning about fractions-- half and quarter

Here I was learning about half and quarter. I have learnt how to make a shape into quarters. I found this work easy because half was easy to make.

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 is easy for me to count on from the bigger number.

Punctuation marks

 Punctuation marks are everywhere. Full stops, speech marks, question marks and commas are punctuation marks. They ask us to do different things. When you see a ! it means you have to read with lots of expression. I find it easy to notice punctuation marks.
