Technology term 4.

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





What I did well to make this label was connecting it to the cord. What I could have done better was take my time.

Reading term 4.


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



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. 
Something I did well was: asking questions to under stand better. 
Next steps: I need to ask even better questions to get more information from text. 

Term 4 writing.

Today you are being asked to look back over your writing this term and choose your favourite example.  You will need to say why it is your favourite in one of the boxes below.  You will also need to show that you have responded to a comment from the teacher by changing (improving) something in your writing.


Copy and paste or type your chosen example in this box below.


Cross country


It was an early sunny morning and suddenly I remembered that it was the day of  cross country.I got out of bed and felt like I had butterflies in my stomach. As I finally got to school,I was so nervous. Mr Wallace shouted out my age group. We jogged to the back of the hall.  I was anxiously waiting...bang! The calpers went I blasted from the start gate. The back of  the field was so slippery and  murky. I Felt  like I was going to slip on my back .  My heart was beating like it was about to come out.  I was coming second then I started to come fifth.We had to run two laps around the field I could hear the sound of footsteps pattering on the ground. Finally I saw the start line I sprinted to the finish as fast as my legs could carry me.  I came fifth. After that I watched the 8 year old girls race. Bang!There goes another bang, I'm glad my race is over.



I chose this example because:


I chose this story because it has lots of description in it.




Comment from the teacher:


Your sentences are good. They are different lengths which make them interesting to read. You have used some really good words too to add information.  You have missed two full stops ( and capitals after them) and one capital in the middle of a sentence. Can you find them?



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


I found them.




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


I need to put speech marks in more often.
