My end of year basic facts.

Here is a copy of my last basic facts test for the year.  I'm working at Stage 5 Level 2. At the beginning of the year, I was working at Stage 4 Level 1. I need to get better at subtraction.

Maths end of term 4


Here’s everything I know for Stage 4 number knowledge. I need to work on counting  backwards. I have moved up a level and will be working at Stage 5 Level 2 at the start of 2017. I like having lots of Gold for Glory on my learning chart.

This page  shows what  I can and can’t do yet. I need to work on counting on and back using a combination of tens and ones.So, if I am trying to add 24 + 33 = I have to go:Okay, I'm starting at 24....34,44,54 ...now I've counted on in ten three times. Now I have to count on in ones, three times. I'll start at 54...55,56,57. I stopped at 57 so 24 + 33= 57. That's how you count on using a combination of tens and ones.

My Term Four Recount.

Kia ora
Here is the recount I wrote  for an Asttle writing test in Week 4.  Our teacher marked all our recounts and gave us our scores. Mine came out at Level 1a  which is below the end of year standard for Year Five. Next time I need to write more ideas and use more adjectives to describe things. 
We helped each other improve them by reading each other’s recount and talking about them. We also used Revision Assistant to help edit each other’s story and Mrs B added some notes as well. Everyone in our room likes Revision Assistant because it’s easy to understand the marks/ notes that it puts on your writing and so it’s quick for us to go and do the fix-ups. We have to have practically perfect grammar, punctuation and spelling in our stories before we are allowed to publish them here. I hope someone will give me some feedback.

Me and my family went to the beach. “Yes,  we’re
there!” I yelled. I jumped out of the car. I ran

into the water. Splash!  My uncle splashed me.

 “ Aaahh!”  I shouted. I splashed him back.

“H a ha!”  I laughed. Then Mum and Uncle and I


went back home and got an  ice cream.

My Fishbone Facts about Pink Dolphins.

Kia ora
This is an activity we did when we were learning how to find facts about a Chinese animal and put the facts in the right box on a fishbone diagram.
Something I think I have done well  is finding the right information for the right box.
Next time I think I could improve by being more careful about spelling when I copy words.
