Reading Task vowels

Kia Ora,

This is my reading task about vowels. We learned about what vowels are and where they go in a word. It was fun because you had to guess what the word was.

Can you crack the code?? One way to make notes is to just write down words without any vowels. Each of the following sentences will make sense if you add some vowels back in.

Rhinos have big horns on their noses.

A lion’s roar can be heard from eight kms away.

Lions have hair that grows in the top of their heads to there shoulders.

Penguins are flightless birds.

Kiwi are endangered animals and are only found in NZ.

Hawks hunt smaller animals and fish in shallow waters.

Daddy long legs are the most poisonous spiders in NZ.

Kiwis have brown feathers long beaks and 1 eye on each side of there face. They are native to New Zealand.

My multiplication progress.

Kia ora

Here is my multiplication progress for this year. In Term 1 I still had to learn my 12x and 11x tables so I was on Level 3 Stage 6.

In Term 2 I knew my 11x but I'm still on Level 3 Stage 6. I feel good but I need to keep learning because I still don’t know my 12x tables.

My basic facts progres

Kia ora

Here is my basic facts progress for this year. In Term 1 I was working on Stage 6 and I got a score of 43/60. In Term 2, my basic facts score for Stage 6 was 51/60 so my teachers said I was ready for Stage 7. So, I did the Stage 7 test and got 21/45. There is some hard stuff on Stage 7 but I’m lucky because we have some expert kids in Team Moana who can help us.

This is my  Learning Journey 2017
