Narrative Poem

When My Brother Started School

When my brother started school

He went to the pool.

He nearly drowned

But luckily he was safe and sound.

We went to town

to buy something brown.

He said he wanted a toy

I thought that would bring him joy.

We went to buy a home

but first we bought a gnome.

We went trick or treating for halloween

But instead we got a bean.

When we got home we went to bed

And in the morning we got fed.

After that we watched tv

After that my brother dropped my tea.

After we watched tv

we found a key that lead to the atlantic sea.

My writing reflection

Today I discovered how to write my own personal Narrative Poem.

The part I think was the best was the last paragraph because  it is creative and has my brother's name.

I would like to add more creative ideas next time. 

Making Inferences

Reflection:

I have been learning to make an Inference.
I got a lot better at looking for clues and using my own knowledge.
Now I plan to use these strategies whenever I read to help me understand the text better.

Estimation

Today I explored making estimations.
I have learnt that an estimation is guessing the closest answer.
I would like to estimate from bigger numbers next.

Identifying fractions

My math reflection
Today I found out that a fraction is one whole split into pieces and when you write a fraction the number above the line is the numerator and under the line is the denominator.
My next step is to identify more complex fractions.

Justify inferences

IALT make and justify inferences

Success Criteria -  I can find clues and connect it to my prior knowledge to make an inference.

Read the excerpts and highlight the clues. Then write your inference in the box below.

Think about . . .

• Who the character might be (old, young, sporty, brainy etc)
• What kind of person the character is (kind, thoughtful, nasty, selfish etc.)
• How the character is feeling at that moment and why.
• Where and when this action is taking place.

Alex heart began to race. He could feel it pounding in his chest. His mouth was dry and his breathing shallow. How was he even going to be able to speak he wondered. All Alex could see was a blur of faces. His mother would be sitting there, back upright as still as a statue, waiting. No doubt she would have pushed her way to a seat somewhere in the front row.

‘And now we have Alex Sharp,’ announced his teacher.

My inference:

I can infer that alex is young,brainy and nervous. I think the reason he is nervous is  because he might be doing a speech. I think this because when I was inferring it said his mother would be sitting back upright as still as a statue waiting. and it said he could feel it pounding in his chest. His mouth was dry and was breathing shallow.

Nonsense poem

BREAKING NEWS

Here is the news

Three old boring cardboard boxes

They all do not look anything like foxes.

They can all get soaking wet

Under these soaking nets.

Boxes can be shaped as cardboard foxes

But oxes will not be shaped as boxes.

Boxes old, boring boxes

They sneeze in the breeze.

In the breeze they fly

in the in the sky.

Boxes will not fight oxes

Because they do not move at all.

That was the news!

My writing reflection

Today I found out that nonsense poems are not as easy as it looks because when I first started I found out that making rhymes were not so easy.

I have been learning to write a nonsense poem because our teacher showed my class a poem that was about nonsense.

My next step is to work on the rhymes because I struggled with them.
