How bees make honey

We have been learning about explanations and bees. I created an animation using google slides. Then I used screencastify to explain how bees make honey.

Writing goals

Here is my next writing goal.

Maths

For maths I have been working in a small group. We have been learning different strategies to help us solve problems.

hand writing

This is my term 2 hand writing sample. My next goal is to make sure my writing is the right size.

I can type words 7 per minute.

Maori

I have been learning the Maori word for fish, shark, crab and dolphin.  I need more practise at remembering the Maori names for the creatures.

Narrative Writing

We are learning about the parts of a narrative. Here is a story I wrote about a dinosaur.

The Vicious Dinosaur

Once there lived a vicious dinosaur in a dark, damp, cold forest. The dinosaur stomped and stomped all the way to  the freezing blue river. There were two men soldiers in a little wooden boat fishing for their dinner. Their names were Paddy and Chad.

“Yummm! They look yummy,” said the dinosaur. The dinosaur stepped into the murky brown water. Suddenly the dinosaur was sinking in the muddy water. The dinosaur roared. “HA HA!” said Paddy and Chad.

Paddy and Chad paddled all the way back to their dusty old house and lived happily ever after. The dinosaur died all alone in the river.
