I was very nervous because I was doing it in front of my whole class and it was the first time I was doing it for the real competition. My friend Iris got into the competition but in the end she did not get into the year 3 and 4 competition.

I was learning about similes. I know that we describe using our senses, and we compare two things like or as. It was easy to think of things that match.
WALT find information in non fiction text by skimming and scanning. Skimming and scanning means looking for the main idea. I know that I can find the main idea by looking at the pictures and the headings.

We are learning about multiplication.We learnt about using repeated addition to solve multiplication.For example four times four is the same as 4+4+4+4.
I was learning to make a word plan. I know that a word plan has a topic and 3 or 4 ideas. I learnt that I can use a word plan to help me with my writing. It is easy for me because I'm used to doing it now.
I was learning to make connections. This means describe the story and something similar that happened to me. It was tricky at first then it became easier and easier because I under stood how the character was feeling.
I was learning to make and justify inferences. I have learnt that this means looking for clues to figure out how characters are feeling or what they are like. The clues can be what happens in the story or in the pictures.
