W.A.L.A writing a story other people want to read
Greedy Cat’s surprise
Greedy Cat’s surprise
Early in the morning
in the local shop one round faced soft Mum
wearing her usual blue and red outfit,
was buying groceries.
“This is the last time that cat will eat my food!”
Mum thought.
Lurking in the background,
the solitary,
figure of a fluffy,
barrel like,
looking out for a meal a gingery,
orangey white cat
GREEDY CAT!
“Look at that food” he thought happily.
Little did he know that Mum picked a nasty surprise,
from the large variety of multi-coloured tins and cans.
Back at home,
Greedy Cat
still on the lookout for food
thought he’d sniffed out a tasty treat,
meanwhile Mum was watching from behind the door”tasty revenge”Mum murmured
All of a sudden Greedy Cat realised what his tasty treat was! “mow!”
yowled Greedy Cat
“This is the last time I will eat Mum’s food” he thought when he ran away
Meanwhile Mum chuckled going back to the kitchen “ that cat will never go into that shopping bug again”.

Best Mates
These are things I am already good at doing all the time in my reading
by Paora Tibble
I am learning about...
I.A.L.A Make and explain my inferences using information in the textThese are things I am already good at doing all the time in my reading
- Reading longer texts and remember what has happened over a number of days
- Talk about what they have read with others in the story
- Reread
- Automatically select and apply a decoding strategy when they find unknown word
My inference was that Mana is feeling really sad about his mate Jackson leaving and moving away to Auckland. The clues I used in the text were: "stink Jacksons leaving"

I.A.L.A. Our gifted Garden
I need to think about what do you think the best garden design idea is and why? (out of there's picks)
There is a water wheel, a mural, butterfly art, a pizza oven, African keyhole garden and pumice heart.
I thort the water wheel because it is powered by a posh bike and, that is what powers the wheel to make it go around and water the garden.
