These are my goals for term 1!
Writing; I am leaning to express my stories more by using new and big descriptive words.
Maths: Use other strategies to solve other problems.
Reading: Be able to make connections between different texts.
Here is a selection of my learning that I wish to share. Not all my work will be perfect all of the time as I am a work in progress. I welcome positive and helpful comments.
