Counting Money and Working Out Change

Using other punctuation

I am learning when to use other punctuation

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

I got a telescope paper. I'm really so proud of my telescope paper.

I am proud of myself because I know how to use apostrophes.

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 detail

I am learning to add some detail to my writing.

Whales

The whale swims under the water.

I think it is hard to add detail to my writing. My brain doesn't know what to write about sometimes.

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!

Punctuation Marks

I liked matching the punctuation mark with the words because I know them.

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.

My shape is an octagon. I like it. it has 8 sides.

Recognising blends

The Dragonflies are learning to recognise blends as they are reading.

I can find words that start with 'sh', 'gr', 'wh' and 'th'. I am sometimes good at finding words.

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.

Counting on from the biggest number

I am learning to count on from the biggest number

I like counting on from the biggest number. I can do it when I play bingo bugs. I am good at it!

Word Cloud

I am learning to use describing words in my writing.

I like my balloon. Mrs Mason helped me. It was hard.

Maths Term One

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

I am good at maths. I can count the pictures.

Writing Term One

Murtuza is looking at Max and Blobby.

I am learning to sound out words in my writing.

I am good at writing. I sound out my words. Sometimes i don't know how.

Reading Term One

I am learning to sound out my words as I write.

I am good at reading. I can robot 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!
