Willy wanted an animal that could jump, catch, and run. The main charaters are Norman Willy and Mr Baker.  The author of the book is Kelly Bennett and illustrator by Noah Z. Jones.




Swimming

Today I practised water safety skills at the loogan pools.

The first skill I practised kicking. To kick well I had to kick small.

Next I practise streamline. To streamline well I kick my legs small and my hands are togther.

Lasltly I practise a dolphin dive und a hoop in the water. To dolphin dive move like a werm.

I got better at streamline, but I need to improve kicking my legs small not hard.

Figurative languge

Learing was about figurative language, understatement, hyperbole, personification, simlie and metophor.

Figurative language figuring out the meaning of what a person says. 

A hyperbole is exaggeration to show strong feeling or effect. 
Simlie means A simile is comparing 2 things using “like” or As”.


A understatement is expressing with less strength than expected (The opposite of hyperbole).
A personification is giving human traits to objects or ideas.
A metaphor is comparing 2 thing without using “like” or “as”.

Rahi and the Patupairehe

LI: Sumerising.
This week I have been learning about summarizing.  We also we needed to visualising and infernencing to help us. We filled in a story web to sumarrise each part or the story.I used my visualising from week 1 to help seperate the parts of the story.

I used my characters inference trais to use adjictives and euidence to help summerise different parts. Using good adjctives to unlock meaningful information, and i can sumerise quicker. Connecting all three straights helps me to understand the story, characters and key words.
