A Shattering Breakthrough

Last week the green reading group read A Shattering Breakthrough. First we read the story and then we answered the questions. We were learning to answer inference questions. I could improve on making it more colourful. Here is my presentation A Shattering Breakthrough.

Russia's Native Plants

Did you know one of Russia’s native plants is a flower that is called a Chamomile? The Camomile is a type of daisy and it’s sap can be used for bruises and sprains. 

 Firstly, The Rhododendrons has ten species of its kind. Most of the species of Rhododendrons are deciduous. Rhododendrons is one of the most popular plants in Russia. 

 Secondly, the Iris flower has a lot of species in its kind in total it has about sixty species. Irises are very popular in Russia. The Iris gets its name from the greek word rainbow. The iris plant is a popular garden flower. 

 Thirdly, The butterfly weed plant is grown from seed in home gardens. These brilliant flowers attract butterflies. Some people call it milkweed when none of the species have milky sap.

 In conclusion, Russia has a lot of weird names for flowers. They have lots of species and they are all very pretty.

A few weeks ago in Te Ngahere we were learning to write a report. I also learnt how to use proper nouns and common nouns, organise my learning into paragraphs and to use topic sentences. We had to write more than 2 reports.
