The Orchard

 WALT: write a description that SHOWS rather that TELLS.

 The Orchard

I can see tall huge trees that smell minty and fresh. I can hear buzzing bees and birds humming. I can smell dirt,bark and hay around the tree. I can feel caterpillar crawling on my hand,biting my skin. I can see butterfly flying around it is so beautiful. Some of the plants were rough and smooth. The beautiful butterfly were shining so brightly.

Letter to the author

Dear Brothers Grimm,

I really liked your book Hansel and Gretel. What I liked about Hansel and Gretel was that it had lots of detail so that people know all about it. Also I really like the picture and how you put lots of adjectives in it.

Next time I might write a letter to you but from another story.

Math Word Problems

WALT:find the key info in a question.

Question:A mobile phone company has 860 customers in New Zealand and 890 customers in other countries. In total,how many customers does it have? 

Total=1750

800 + 800 = 1600

60 + 90 =150

1600 + 150 = 1750

Finding the key info was really easy what I really did was looking through the words very carefully. I found this really easy too,my strategies were addition and adding it all together. My next step will be using different strategies.
