Olden days, Inferring.

Today I'm gonna be talking about what inferring means;

Inferring means something that is said in a story but not exactly state it and has to be used with clues, here's an example:

Jack: Ella has a quiz today, she is sweating, keeps asking the teacher if the quiz can be next week and she keeps saying that she keeps lying that she feels sick.

Jack: I think Ella is nervous for taking the quiz...

The book that we read was "Olden days, Here is another example of inferring: Mr Potts was "kidnapped" by "Aliens" and the person was holding a ray gun to him and he started to feel a bit sleepy and dizzy. That's how i know that he was shot by the ray gun.

How has week 1 gone?

Hello readers, today i'm gonna be sharing with you about my first week of term 2.

The first week of term 2 has been a huge success but its also been difficult. I had an amazing first week of term 2 but the most difficult part for me was on Monday. On Monday all my classes were maths, and reading and all my hurumanu's, and the only break we had was on morning tea time and lunch time but it was fun to learn more about maths anyway. The rest of the week was really fun and i learned a bit of Japanese, which was my favourite part. That was what we mostly did, we also did: Science, Gym, and the rest was just maths, reading, Wananga and hurumanu. What i'm basically trying to say is that, the first day of term 2 was very interesting and fun! ( i also loved the food ).

Wow, i'm surprised you made it this far! Bye now!!
