Goals term 3 2016

My Te Reo Maori DLO

I am starting to read English books a this is one

My Recent Reading

I  Read Treasure  Island  by Dawn McMillan.  It is about pirates.  They were looking for treasure.  They found the X on the map. They found the Treasure in the sand. The Treasure was food. The Pirates name was called Black Patch.

My favorite part was when they said, “Land ahoy.”

You should read this book someday it is a cool book

Reading Self-Assessment

Today I recorded myself reading “A Very Clever Possum” by Vivienne Joseph.  It’s about a possum that keeps getting away from the trap that Mr Lees  sets.  He doesn’t want his rose bush to get eaten.  The possum eats its shoots.

I liked this book a lot.  We have possums at home and my dad sets traps too.  I knew what Mr Lees was talking about in the story. We have a pet possum too.  His name is Fred.   I think it helped me read the book better. I think I’m improving and I’m reading better and smoother.

Reading Self-Assessment

Week Two - Tim's Costume.

Today I read “Tim’s Costume” by Eleanor Hughes.  It is about a boy called Tim.  He is thinking about a costume for the green party he has been invited to.  Sophie thought of a grasshopper.  But he got puffed from hopping around.  Mum thought of a tree, but the branches were too prickly.  He tried his dad’s green sleeping bag, but it was too hard to move around.  Tim thought and thought.  He looked around his room and suddenly he knew what he wanted to be.  A Alien.

This week I think my reading was better than last time because Whaea Gaylene said I was using expression well.  I didn’t know that meant you changed your voice.  I also feel like i’ve picked up on my reading.  It’s getting easier.  It helped that I listened to the whole story first.
