Evidence of achieving my maths goals

My maths goals are to read tally charts and a range of graphs for information.



My last maths goal is to become more confident in using place value to add numbers together.

This shows that I can add my hundreds together, my tens and then my ones together and then add all my tens and ones or hundreds, tens and ones together.

Evidence of achieving my reading goals

My goals are to confidently fill the missing word in the gap so that it makes sense during CLOZE activities.



This shows that I am getting better at reading the sentences and checking that what I fill the gaps with makes sense.


My last reading goal is to become more confident in answering inference questions.


I am trying hard to answer questions in my reading lessons with Mrs Head. This picture shows how I read a story called Haere Mai and I used the clues to answer the question of how people showed respect when they visited the marae.

Evidence of achieving my writing goals

My writing goals are to use full stops and capital letters correctly in my writing.


This picture shows that I am putting my capital letters and full stops into my stories. I am getting better at remembering to use them all the time.

Another goal is to stay focused at writing time so that I can get my ideas down quickly and make my stories longer.


This is one of my writing warm ups. I had five minutes to write a story that used a pencil, $5 note and boot. This helps me practice getting my ideas down quickly because I know I only have five minutes.

My last writing goal is to use a thesaurus to find words to make my writing more interesting.
This goal I am still working on. I need to remember to use the thesaurus as I write my stories or when I am proof reading my writing to find more interesting synonyms for words.
