Counting Money and Working Out Change

Reading to an audience

It was tricky to read in front of an audience. I needed to remember when it was my turn!

Using other punctuation

I am learning when to use other punctuation

e.g. comma, exclamation mark, question mark, apostrophe, speech marks

Guess what I did on the weekend? I unlocked a shark. It was a medium shark!

I am proud of myself because I know how to use a question mark and an exclamation mark.

Balancing on the beam

We are learning how to balance on a beam in Gymnastics. We have to carefully climb on the beam and stand up. We have to  put our aeroplanes arms out to help us balance. We then have to walk all the way to the other side. Sometimes we have to turn and go back too. It can be scary sometimes because the beam wobbles when we walk on it. We are all getting better at balancing on the beam!

Adding details

I am learning to add some detail to my story.

Whales

The big blue whale and I like whales. Whales suck krill and now he has a friend.

I think it is hard to add some detail to the story. I need to think for a long time until I can write. I like the part when I wrote about the big blue whale.

Root Words

It was bit hard to match the root words and their endings. Next time I might ask for help.

St John Visit

Mac from St John came to talk to the children at Elm Park School about safety and first Aid. He brought his mini ambulance Amby along with him. Mac taught Room 11 about who to call when there is an emergency. We looked at different pictures and had to decide if we needed to call for the police, the firemen or an ambulance. We had actions that we had to do to show Mac that we knew who to call!

Shape Monster

I am learning to name and describe plane shapes.

We are learning about Geometry in Room 11. We are learning to name plane shapes and to say how many sides and corners the shape has. We created shape monsters and wrote a description about them.

I like my shape monster. It is a rectangle. It was easy to remember how many sides and corners it has. I didn't have to count. I just knew!

Count on from the largest number

I am learning to count on from the largest number.

I like playing this game on the laptop. It is easy because I can move the counters and they help me count.

Retelling the main events

The Butterfly reading group are learning to retell the main events of the story.

Sometimes it is hard to retell what happened in the story. I can use my book to help me remember.

Youthtown

Room 11 has been going to Youthtown this term. We have been learning how to throw a ball at a target. We learned that you need to have your one arm in an L shape ready to throw the ball. The other arm needs to be pointing at the target. Then we have to do a power throw and try to hit the target. Sometimes we hit the cones and sometimes the ball goes in a different direction.

Word Cloud

I am learning to use describing words in my writing.

I like writing about the Roly-Poly Bird. It was a bit hard thinking about words. 

Maths Term One

I am learning to solve simple addition problems up to 20.

This was easy because I counted all the shapes.

Reading Term One

I am learning to sound out words as I read.

I like to read lots of words. It is easy to sound out words with my mouth and my hands.

Writing Term One

Yesterday I went to the pool. After school I went in the pool.

I am learning to underline my try words.

I like writing because I like drawing my picture. It is hard sometimes to write the words.

Self-Portrait

I have been learning how to draw my self-portrait. First Mrs Scott came to show us how to sketch our face. We sketched our face shape first. Then we drew our guidelines to help us remember where our eyes, nose, mouth and ears went. We practised using a whispering pencil and a shouting pencil. Our first sketch looked a bit funny so we tried again. This time we used a photo of us to help us. We had to start all over again! Miss Radue then helped us rub out all the whispering pencil guidelines and photocopied our sketches so they were bigger. We had to go around our sketch with vivid and then we used pastel to colour in our self-portraits. It was hard work but we had a lot of fun!
