A understatement is expression with less strength than expected.

Swimming

Today I practised my water safely skills at the lagoon pools.

The first skill I practised was kickboard. I did small kicks with straight legs.

Then I practised steamline. I rolled from my back to my front.

Lastly I practised diving. I jumped up and dove into the water. Then I curl body straight down.

I learned lots of new skills at the pool.

The Legend of Rahi

LI-summarising using visualising and inferencing

This week we were learning to summersing.

We also needed to link visualisation and inferencing to help us.

We filled in a story web to summarise each part of the story.

I used my visualisation from week 1 to help separate the parts of the story.

I used my character inference traits to used adjective and evidence to help summersing different part using good adjective unlock meaningful information and I can summarise quicker. Connecting all 3 strategies helped me to understand the story characters and keywords.
