Eqaul adittions
Write a word problem to show when this would be a good strategy to use.
I had 35 dollars and 10c and at the diary a packet of lollies cost 1 dollar I brought 14 packets how much change do I get.
35 dollars take away 14 dollars = 21
Reading week 2
tightly on and biked down the road carrying it.
From the old wharf by the factories, I threw the bottle far out into the tide. The water there was swift enough to carry it out to sea at least.
That was last year.
Amy is still in my class and she still seems lonely. I haven't heard about the letter. But then, that sort of mail can take ages to get to Australia or America.

Personal mail
This task is about making inferences by identifying information in a story.

Read the story "Personal Mail" and follow the instructions below.
Read each sentence below and circle whether it is true or f
Down behind our place flows the muddy old river. I often go there after school and watch the sticks and leaves drift sluggishly past.
One time I found a plastic drink bottle stranded on the green slime.
Noticing something different about the bottle, I fished it out. Cutting the bottle open, I pulled out a piece of paper. On the paper was written this letter.
125 Riverside Road
Wakanui
New Zealand
Dear friend,
If you find this letter please write to me. I have brown hair and am 9 years old. Please write to me, specially if you live in Australia or America. I don't have many friends here.
Love from
Amy Brown
"What a laugh," I thought. Amy Brown lives just up the river from us. She's in my class, too. Amy is strange and she really doesn't have many friends. She's often away from school, and the kids only take notice of her if they want to tease her, or want something from her, like money for ice blocks.
I put her letter in my pocket to show it around at school.
But by the end of the week that letter was still in my pocket. I supposed that really, like Amy, I was a bit lonely, too. Or perhaps I just didn't have enough courage to be that mean.
What about her letter?
On Saturday morning I got another empty drink bottle and poked her letter into it. I screwed the topalse. On the lines below each sentence, write some words from the story that help show whether the sentence is true or false. The first one has been done for you.
a) The boy in the story lives near a river. True / False

True / False
True because when he reads it he says what a joke. ______________________________________________________________________
______________________________________________________________________
d) The reason the boy decides not to show the letter around at school is that he is worried he will get into trouble.
True / False
False because he sent a letter back to her and by the end of the week it was still in his pocket ______________________________________________________________________
______________________________________________________________________
e) The boy has lots of friends. True / False
Maybe because it says he sometimes feels lonely as well .______________________________________________________________________
______________________________________________________________________
f) The boy throws the bottle out to sea because he thinks it will have a better chance of floating to another place than it will in the river.
True / False
True he might think that it will take a long time to wash out to sea ______________________________________________________________________
______________________________________________________________________
g) The boy is the sort of person who notices how other people are feeling.

True / False
______________________________________________________________________
______________________________________________________________________
i) The boy wants to believe that the bottle will arrive in Australia or America.

The best part of me
I have dark brown eyes like smooth chocolate fudge. I have the color of dark black lickquish. My eyelashes a as thick as soft skinny silk.
My eyes help me in sport like in rugby they make me read the play.But its weird because they don't work like that in basketball.They just make me look up so when Im dribbling the ball I can just pass the ball.
I like my eyes because they help me I reckon were really lucky to have proper eyes because some people are blind.Second of all because they help me ame in basketball. But most of all there the best because I can concentrate.
