I Am Learning To Chunk My Words

I am in Pukekoes for Reading and we have been learning to use different reading strategies. 

I need to look for chunks (word parts) that I know to help me read the word quickly.



My Reflection
I can chunk my words by using Chunky Monkey. I need to work on retelling the story in my own words. Sometimes I can ask the teacher or a buddy to help me.

I Am Learning To Create A Self Portrait


I drew my self portrait using a sketching pencil.
I needed to think about size, shape and position of body parts

I coloured my self portrait using pastels.
I needed to think about using colours effectively by blending different pastel colours

I coloured my background using pastels.
I needed to think about using warm and cool colours for effect

I Am Learning to Read Bar Graphs and Talk About the Results


I am learning to read a bar graph and answer questions


I need to:
*read the question
*read the data (information) on the graph
*identify the lowest (fewest) and highest (most) bars
*read the quantities
*compare the data on the graph
*answer questions about the data (information) on the graph

Chloe-The purple one has the most games and he 10 games. The green one has the fewest games and he has 6 games.

My Reflection 
I am learning to do bar graphs.
It can be tricky to read the small writing.
I am proud that I got this finished.
The next step for me might be to read the names more clearly.
The teacher could help me by learning the names.
