Jack and the Beanstalk

I have written the story of Jack and the Beanstalk. I have used describing words. I have some of the ideas from the Jack and the Beanstalk book. I have tried to use capital letters and fullstops but it was tricky. I will keep on trying.

Once upon a time there lived Jack and his Grandma. They were very poor. All they did was milk their cow. The next day they had to sell their cow to get seeds, but he got magic seeds. Then he showed his grandma them. She threw them out the window! The next morning he looked out the window. There was a beanstalk. Then he got dressed and jumped out the window. He climbed up the beanstalk! When he got to the top of the beanstalk he saw the castle. He saw the giant leave money on the table. Jack got the money and started to run for it. He climbed down the beanstalk! “Look what I got”, he said. Again the next day he started to climb the beanstalk. He heard the giant say to his chicken “Lay me an egg”, plop, out came a golden egg. Then he told his harp to sing to him. “I’m getting tired”, said the giant. He went to sleep. Then Jack took the chicken and the harp too. The harp called out to her master. The giant woke up and climbed down the beanstalk but Jack cut the beanstalk down. They all lived happily ever after.

Making spinach dip

IALT write a procedure about making spinach dip.  It was easy to write the steps because we made the spinach dip already.

Fullstops and Capital Letters

Making a Tidy Ten

It was hard to make a tidy ten and figure out the number that makes ten but it got easier to do because I had to make a tidy ten first.

Using Basic Facts to Solve a Problem

It was hard to get the answers in my head  and look for a question.

Using Describing Words

Making an Inference

It was easy to find the clues. That means I can write the story without help. It is a bit tricky to make an inference.

Setting, Plot and Characters

This is my kidpix to show that I can describe the characters, setting and plot in a story. It was hard for me to write the story and the setting.  Next time I have to look carefully for the clues.

Making a Plan Before I Write

I am learning to make a plan before I write my story. My plan and my story matches. I have used the same words. I will use a plan next time I write.

I felt happe when I soor the move

On Sunday I went to watch Spiderman 2. I felt happy when I saw the movie. My mum, dad and sister came with me to the movies. The movie was funny even amazing because he climbed up walls. 

Capital Letters and Fullstops

It was hard for me to put fullstops and capital letters in the right places. Sometimes I forget where the sentence is and I forget to do some spaces. I had to read the story to find out where the fullstops go.

Tapa Cloth

I made this tapa cloth at Te Tuhi. The tapa cloth tells my story.

Doubles

This was tricky for me. Sometimes I got the doubles wrong.

Retelling a story

I am learning to read story and talk about it in order. It was hard for me to think about writing the story and finding the words.  It would help me if I talked to mum and dad about the story that I am reading.
