Rahi and the Putuparhe

This week we were learning to summarise.

We also needed to link visualisation and inferring to help us.

We filled in a story web to summarise each part of the story.

I used my visualising from week one to help seperate the parts of the story.

I used my charecters inference trait to use adjectives and evidence to help summarise diffrent parts.

LI to summarise using visualising and inferencing.

swimimng

Today I practiced my water safty at the Lagoon pools.

The first skill I practiced was safe entry. To do safe entry I turnd my back around and went in the pool smoothly.

Then I practiced streamline kicking. To do streamline kicking I put my arm in front of my head and swam.

Lastly I practiced backstroke kicking. To do backstroke kicking I held my kickboard above my knees. On my back I kicked my legs. I kept my face out of water

I got better at backstroke kicking. I need to improve my streamline kicking.

LI: to develop knowledge of water safty.

Similes

Similes are comparisons of two things using "like" or "as...as".

When describing an action in a simile use as. For example: the lady swam like a fish.

When describing an verb in a simile use "like." For example: the frog and the lily pads are as green as a leprechauns hat


LI to describe things by simile
