How lettuce Grows - Explanation Writing

Reflection:
In this activity, we were learning to write a explanation on how to grow lettuces.  I used the word 'then' for  my time connector but when my class gave me some feedback, I changed the then's into other time connectors. Next time I should make the time connectors more interesting and more different.

Bio Poem

We were learning to write a bio poem.

Greenhouse

Last week on Monday,  we made greenhouses.  The first thing we did was drawing a square  tracing a square.  Then we gave it to Miss Lister and she cut it out (the middle square).  After that we drew two lines for the roof.  Miss Lister also cut the roof out.  Next we decorated it.  We only can draw veggies and flowers and then we drew greenhouses and our names.  Then Miss Lister gave us a plastic bag and Miss Lister also gave us a paper towel.  Then we rolled up the paper towel and Miss Lister wet it.  Then Miss Lister gave us four wet cotton balls.  Lastly she gave us six beans and we put them in too.

plurals with nouns

We are learning to make words with es.

If  you have x, z, ch, sh, o, s, in the end of a word you can add es.

Youth town

Yesterday we went to Youth town. We were learning speed and agility.  The first thing we learned was a ladder and you need to tiptoe over it. The next thing we learnt  was the hurdles. We need to bunny hop over them.  The next one was the agility poles. You need to zigzag through it.  Then we did it all together.  It was quite easy at the start (witch is the ladder and hurdles) but the agility poles was hard.  Then we played cat and mouse.  The cat needs to catch the mouse .  The mouse runs straight and the cat runs tilted.

Words that are plurals

Y at the end of words

Monkeys and Jaws

The "oo" sound

It was easy to put the words in the correct boxes because you just need to match the letters with the right word.

I was learning to write a narrative story
It was easy to write the introduction.

Find 'or' sounds

Use speech marks

It was easy to find where the start speech mark goes and the end one.

It was hard to put the speech marks in the right place on the top because the square was covering on the letter.   

Find 'er' words

It was easy to find the 'er' words.

It was tricky to do the right words because the end of words are the same sound of 'er' and not 'uh'.
