Counting Money and Giving Change


I am learning to recognise the value of NZ coins to add, total and give change.



I find money a bit tricky.  I could count the ten cents.  The change is hard.

Larissa, you counted in tens really well.  You knew that two tens made a twenty cent too. 
Practise working out the difference between two amounts to improve your skills.

Recount Writing

I am learning to write a recount about my experiences.

  • sequence my ideas
  • add detail to my ideas
  • use time words e.g. first, next, later, after that etc
  • use capital letters and full stops

Trying New Experiences

I enjoyed our Inquiry showcase and looking how things have changed at the Howick Historical Village.

Predicting, making inferences and exploring vocabulary

I am learning to predict, make inferences and exploring vocabulary.


The hard part was to think about the words like describing and the verbs.  I nearly forgot what alliteration was.  I am still finding it hard to find the clues. I need people to talk to and help me.  Larissa  15.11.16
This was a tricky task to challenge you to look carefully at what you read.  I agree, keep working with your group to discuss meanings and find clues when the answer to a question isn't fully clear.  Mrs Templeton  15.11.16
