Number sentences

I am learning to make groups of 5 and write number sentences. 

"I had to make a number sentence. I put two big teddies and three little teddies under my whiteboard. Then I counted them. This is easy for me. I am proud that I can write number sentences."

Writing for a purpose

We published our story. Our story was about mum. Mum was our word of the week and it was going to be mothers day. We wrote our story so Mum could read it. We have been learning that we write for a purpose. The purpose of our story was to tell Mum something we like about her.  

"My story was about mothers day. I wrote a story about my mum because it was nearly mothers day. It can be tricky to write words I don't know. I am so proud when mum gives me kisses."

Retelling my story

I am learning to retell my story. I had to put pictures in the box. My pictures were about my book. In the story Aroha told Nanny about school because she missed Nanny. It is tricky for me to retell the story because there are tricky words in the story and I forget what I read sometimes.
