My Weekend Recount story for Term 2

for Term 1!

My name is Michael and I am 5 years old. I started school in 2011.

Michael planned his head and face using skin coloured crayon. When he had  finished, Miss Lafaelle went over the outlines using black crayon so he could colour   inside his face and ears. Miss Lafaelle helped him a little with his neck and t-shirt. As a class, we discussed all the things people in our family, do for us and how theydo things for us to show they care. We decided we would say 'Thank You' to one person one day and 'Thank You' to another person the next day.

Michael had to re-order the words in his descriptive cat story by looking carefully at the first letter of each word and looking for words he knew. Before he was allowed to glue the words onto his cat, he had to re-read his story again with a little help from Miss Lafaelle.
