Story telling

Purpose: create a story to share orally

Description: Oral storytelling is a Maori tradition. We have been planning our own story to tell on the Marae in Week 7.

Big Idea: To create a story about how spiders got eight legs

And now look what they can do!

  http://youtu.be/1_AfPg-cLzE This is my video for my story telling.

Feedback/Feedforward: I like how you used crowd paticapation because that way the crowd didn't get bored. I think next time you could speak a tiny bit louder because I couldn't really hear you.Aria

Evaluation: I think I did well in my story but maybe next time I could make it a little bit more exiting.

Star test

Description: We had to do a star test, for reading. We did this so that we can know our goal. We did our star test in our swimming class, and the year fives and sixes did A and B. The year fives did test A and the year sixes did test B.

My
 goal is comprehension because in our test for comprehension I got a 17/20 so this is what i need to work on, by asking questions throughout the reading process.
