Writing Narrative

I am learning to write a narrative story.
I'll know I can do this when my stories have:

- Character - Setting - Introduction - Problem - Climax - Conclusion - Descriptive language such as smilies and metaphors - Character speech using speech marks

This is my narrative plan.

This is my narrative I have been writing. It is about the race in space by Isabella L

Something I found hard was doing was that had to do all that writing so fast.

Something I learned was that I am writing if I try my best.

In Taiao I have been learning about chickens. I have learned about the parts of a chicken, some facts about chickens, the parts of an egg (which I used to make an omelette), and what a chicken needs to be happy and healthy. Something I learned was that in a egg there is a air cell in a egg.

Music

In music with Mr McCullum I have been learning to play the ukulele.

I'll know I've been successful when I hold the ukulele correctly and can strum the cords.
Something I learned was that the ukulele is fun and I like it.

Next time I well tell the teacher when I make a mistake.

Art Don Binney

I am learning to create art inspired by Don Binney.

I'll know I can do this when I have created a landscape with a foreground, middle, and background.

My bird and my background are coloured using pastels and natural colours.

Something I learned was that the Ruru can see in the night.

Writing Report

I am learning to write an information report.

I'll know I can do this when I can plan and write an information reports with a title, topic sentence, and a group of facts about a subject.
Something I found hard was to find facts.

Learner Qualities

I am learning how to communicate.
I'll know I can do this when I can identify a variety of ways I can communicate with others.
One way i can communicate is by using my hands and feet without my mouth.

Creative Writing - Scripts

We are learning to write scripts to create a play.

We know we are successful if our script has:
- multiple characters
- a setting
- character speech
- stage direction (in a different colour to the speech)

Once we have written our scripts we are creating the plays using Puppet Pals.
