Here are the results of a shared reading task we did this week.We have been learning about hooks.We are learning how to recognise different kinds of hooks when we read.We worked in groups and shared our ideas.

Learning Intention: Understand how writers use a variety of  hooks to capture a reader’s attention
Success criteria:
1. Use highlighters to mark the model to show you can find and recognise these 4 kinds of hook- rhetorical question, onomatopoeia, staccato sentences, dialogue (direct speech)
_______________________________________________
Model 1:
Boom! Snap! Crackle! Thunderclouds overhead. Heavy rain. Streams overflowing. “The kitchen’s flooding!” yelled Mum. Have you ever felt as helpless as a baby?
Model

“Something’s crawling on me!” I screeched. “That hurt!” Then, I saw it. A furry thing. Moving quickly. Slap!! Have you ever been bitten by a spider?
Model 3:
Can you remember going down a slide for the first time?
Sssshhccrreeekk! Rubber shoe soles aren’t slowing me much. Too fast. Out of control. “I can’t stop! Somebody help me!” I screeched.

Weekly Revision Test

     Maths- Weekly Revision Tests- Here are the results for my first weekly revision task on Maths Buddy.
I got 60% I need to work on my fractions.
This week Mrs Henderson made us a document. I have improved. I  can answer some under 3 seconds.   Looking for Tens - Triangles - T1 Wk 3

Complete the following:

46 + 4 = 50
37 + 3 = 40
82 + 8 = 90
24 + 6 = 30
71 + 9 = 80
12 + 8 = 20
63 + 7= 70
96 + 4 = 100
58 + 2 = 60
Now try these!
46 + 14 = 60
37 + 13 = 50
82 + 18 = 100
24 + 16 = 40
71 + 19 = 90
12 + 18 = 30
63 + 17 = 80
96 + 14 = 110
58 + 12 = 70
And these!
46 + 34 = 80
37 + 53 = 90
82 + 38 = 120
24 + 46 = 70
71 + 49 = 120
12 + 48 = 50
63 + 37 = 100
96 + 54 = 150
58 + 32 = 90

Can you see any patterns?
Explain the patterns you can see.

    This week I have read the book Dry. It tells me a lot of facts. I have enjoyed reading this book.
