Today I will be writing to you to tell you about my learning in Handwriting and Spelling in Tuhituhi this term. This term I have done a lot on the subject Tuhituhi and I have got different words to everyone else except for two other people which I think has really helped me extend myself. At the start of the term I found it easy because I was doing spelling words that I already knew.
This term I found Tuhituhi enjoyable because I pushed myself with my spelling and I got to do cursive which I have already learnt at home which made it fun to practice it at school. I also found Tuhituhi enjoyable because in Handwriting sometimes we have to write our spelling words in alphabetical order which I enjoyed doing, because it helped me learn how to work out the correct order, if the first letters are the same then you look at the next letter in the word.
This term I found spelling (tataki) challenging because my teacher gave me harder words to extend my learning which helped challenge me. I also found Tuhituhi challenging this term because we had to do syllables and I find this challenging because I did not know how to find the exact time the syllables change, but I learnt that the syllables change every time your mouth moves when you say the word.
Overall I think that this term was great because I pushed myself with my learning and I chose to get given homework by my teacher. I also think that this term was great because I have gone up in my spelling words each week and I have learnt how to do much more in Maths like dividing and multiplying decimals.
Thank you for taking the time to read my blog about this term.

What a wonderful post about your learning in Handwriting and Spelling this term!
It’s fantastic that you pushed yourself with harder words and chose to take on homework—that shows great self-management! I love how you shared your trick for alphabetical order and how you figured out how syllables change when your mouth moves. That’s a helpful tip!
