Contractions

We are learning to find contractions in our stories. We know that contraction are two words that are squashed together. I can find contractions easily because they have an apostrophe in them.

I am good at contractions because if I said didn’t and I took it apart it will be did not. Sometimes contractions can be tricky because sometimes it is difficult to know where the apostrophe goes. My next steps I want to get good at reading by finding the problem and solution in my story and find out who the characters are.

Fractions

We are learning about fractions. We know that one quarter is when we cut something into four pieces. We also learnt about halves which means we cut something two pieces. Fractions are ½ ¼ and ⅓. With fraction you start with one whole and you cut it into pieces.

I am good at fractions because if I eat a fish all by myself it is not fair for my brother so I need to cut it in half which means I will cut it in two pieces that are the same size.

Compound sentences

We are learning to write compound sentences. We know that a compound sentence is two sentences that we put together with ‘and’ ‘but’ or ‘because. It can be tricky to make sure we join two sentences together and not just another word to a sentence.

I like writing compound sentences because I write longer more interesting sentences. My next step is to add more describing words into my stories.
