In Literacy I have been researching Matariki . Some facts I have learn't are : * Matariki means Little Eyes or Eyes Of God . * Matariki drops behind the horizon in April and reappears in June . * Matariki is a time for giving thanks to the land, sea & sky. *Ten years ago New Zealanders didn't know much about Matariki ! I enjoyed this task and found it fun, it was interesting gathering the information.
In writing I have been creating my own superhero and learning to use paragraphs.To be successful in this task I have to : * Write in paragraphs . * Use decriptive words. * Use a plan . I enjoyed this task but I had a little difficulty with sequencing my ideas , because I didn't have much on my plan .Next time I know I need to do a better plan.
In maths I have to work a bit on my times tables and large division. I enjoy this activity because there are a range of questions . I also found this quite easy and I am pretty successful in this.
In writing I have been doing descriptive writing. I have found this fun because I like writing. :)
To be successful in this activity I had to:
1) Use descriptive words / Figurative language - metaphors , similes , personification .
2) Write in first person.
3) Write in present tense.
