I am learning to write a sentence

In Writing I have been learning how to write a sentence.  First I draw my picture and write the date.  Then I take my work to Mrs Tetupu and I tell her what my picture is.  She writes the sentence and then I go and copy underneath.  My final step is to write my name.

"I can write the date", said Inglis.

I am learning that illustrations help me read the story

In Reading we have been learning that the illustrations help us to read the story.  If I am unsure of a word I can look at the picture and it can help me.

"I was reading", said Inglis.
