Maths Tapawaru

I am learning how to sort fractions with different denominators.

I'll know I can do this when I can order fractions based on their size.

Something I learned was to use division in grouping fractions.

Art Attack Don Binney

We are learning to create art inspired by Don Binney.

I'll know I can do this when I have created a landscape with a foreground, middle, and background.

My bird and my background are coloured using pastels and natural colours.

Something I learned was that art doesn't always have to be neat because that might not be what the artist wants.

I'll know I can do this when I can plan and write an information reports with a title, topic sentence, and a group of facts about a subject.

Something I will do next time is remember to put capital letters at the start of my sentences.

Reading Whio

I am learning to apply my prior knowledge to a text.

I'll know I can do this when I can think of ways I have connections to a text and I can use those connections to help decode unfamiliar words and ideas.

Something I learned is that I need to ask myself 'what do I already know?' when I am reading.
