Term 4 Recount.

Kia ora

Here is the recount I wrote  for an Asttle writing test in Week 4.  Our teacher marked all our recounts and gave us our scores. Mine came out at Level 2p which is just below the end of year standard for Year Five. I need to work on punctuation and spelling. I got the best score for sentence structure.

Then we helped each other to improve them by reading each other’s recount and talking about them. We also used Revision Assistant to help edit each other’s story and Mrs B added some notes as well. Everyone in our room likes Revision Assistant because it’s easy to understand the marks notes that it puts on your writing and so it’s quick for us to go and do the fix-ups. We have to make our stories perfect in spelling, grammar and punctuation before we are allowed to publish them here.

This is an activity we did when we were learning how to get better at Google Draw.

Something I think I have done well  is using a combination of pictures, shapes and words.

Next time I think I could improve the size of things so they look more real.

My multiplication results for term 2

Kia ora
This week we had to re-do the multiplication test that we did at the start of the year to see what improvement we had made. Last time I got a score of 14/30 and I knew my 1x and 5x tables. This time my score was 16/30 and I know my 1x, 2x and 5x tables. This means my multiplication knowledge is only at Stage 5 Level 2. I need to learn my 10x tables because I need to be working at Stage 6 Level 3 by the end of the year.

My description writing

Hello In week 8 term 2 we learned how to write good descriptions. We had to choose an animal and use our senses to help describe it. We needed nouns, verbs and adjectives and we could use a simile if we wanted to. Here is my published description. We had partners and we had to help each other.

What am I ?

I am an animal. I am a herbivore and I am a mammal.I live in Africa.

I have a body shaped like a horse with black and white stripes. I have short, pointy ears, and a tail like a dust brush.

I can walk, trot and run like a horse on my four legs. Sometimes I can run as fast as a car.

My baby is so cute and so soft. I feed it milk and take care of it.
