In my first week at school I wrote a story about a girl that had a friend that was a whale.

The things that I did well were
 * good verbs
 * an interresting start that set the scene really well and introduced the characters
 * happy ending

To improve I need to
 * Not repeat words too much eg Baby whale
 * Include some more interesting words
 * work on the ending of my story

I wrote a story about Three gils that are going kayaking and they didn't know that there was a waterfal at the bottem of the river.

The things I did good was I used good words like SPLASH and grumbled.

The things I need to improve on are more verbs and more punctuation.

I think my work is about level 3

During the 5 week unit I have learnt to put more information and details in to my story.

My goal is to put more interesting verbs into my stories.

5/5/1o

I wrote a report about Kaimanaewa horses and about how they are a pest to our native plants.

Things I did well were
 * I talked about the horses because I talked about how it effects the native bush. I used objective language which means I didn't judge, I put down facts.
 * I put why it was a pest and kept all these ideas in one paragraph
 * and I Put where they live and other general information in another paragraph
