I am Learning to Use Punctuation Properly.

Last week we celebrated Matariki with a pyjama and breakfast morning at school!

It was lots of fun and gave us good ideas to write about. Our focus in writing has been on using different types of punctuation correctly.

I need to:

- Use at least two different types of punctuation.

- Use the punctuation in a way that makes my writing more interesting.

- Put the punctuation in the right places.

This morning we had a Matariki Breakfast! The kai that I liked was the bread with jam. I like the breakfast so much but I was the last one to finish the kai.

My Reflection

I am proud of how I know where to put the full stops.

It can be kind of tricky to use other types of punctuation like question marks and ellipses.

I think that I will try to use punctuation in my writing every day and would like to learn about how to use brackets.

I am Learning to Recognise Contractions.

I am in Meeko group for Reading, we are working at Blue level. We have been learning to recognise and read contractions.

I need to:

- read contractions correctly

- understand that they are a shortened version of two words

- match a contraction with the words they are short for

My Reflection
I am proud of how I tried my very best to match the contractions and the words.
I didn't find anything tricky when matching the contractions.
If I got stuck with contractions in class, I could ask my friends for help.
