The Lost Child.

Narrative Story Writing

WALT write a story with an orientation, problem, solution, and ending, using correct sentences and punctuation.

The lost child.

Lily was a 2 year old girl who lived with her Mum and Dad on a farm. The  farm was very big and they had horses, pigs and cows. Lily liked to play with her pet dog, Barky.

One day Lilly was playing with her dog Barky in the backyard. Lily threw a small ball. Barky went to get the small ball and Lilly followed. Barky saw a mud puddle so Lilly went and followed. When they were there at the mud puddle they were playing. Lily kept throwing the ball and they ended up far from home.

When they finished playing they went to look for the way back but they didn't find the way out because they were lost in the forest.  They couldn't find the way back so Barky was sniffing where to go.

So Barky finally found the way out. Mum was very happy to see Lily home safe.  She told Lily to never follow Barky again.

 THE END.                

Maths post

In Maths this term we have been learning about FRACTIONS


I can find fractions of whole numbers like:

½ of 12 = 6         ⅓ of 9= 3               1/10 of 20= 2

⅔ of 12= 8          ⅘ of 10= 8              

I can recognise when a  fraction is greater than 1:

½ + ½ + ½ = 1 1/2

⅓ + ⅓ + ⅓ + ⅓ = 1 1/3

7/4 =1 3/4
