Counting Money and Working Out Change

Making a prediction

It is hard to make a prediction. I was kind of right but I couldn't think of anything else that might happen in the book.

Using other punctuation

I am learning when to use other punctuation

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

I have the whole set of the Star Wars cards. They are cool! It is fun! It is the best Star Wars cards. My favourite ones are Chewbacca, R2D2, BB8, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Darth Vader. All of them are my favourite. You have to collect 36 of them!

I am proud of myself because i know how to write a list with commas and I also know how to use exclamation marks.

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 story.

Whales

The whale is big. It has plates under it’s mouth. It is the biggest whale in the world. It is the best whale. It is fun.

It is getting easier to write more detail in my story. I like writing more and more. Some days it is easy and on other days it is hard.

Root Words

It was hard to match the root words and their endings. I got some of them mixed up.

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 liked making my shape monster. I used my shape monster to help me count the number of sides and corners.

Count on from the largest number

I am learning to count on from the largest number.

I like the game with the tens frames. I like counting out the dots and adding the dots together.

The Tale of the Turnip

The Ladybird reading group are learning how to read to an audience with fluency using phrasing and expression.

It is hard to remember what I have read. It is a bit scary reading in front of Room 11.

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 Clouds

I am learning to use describing words in my writing.

I liked making my word cloud. It was hard to think about all the words. I had to look at Roly-Poly's picture.

Reading Term One

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

I am good at reading. I am good at sounding out my words. I can do it in my head.

Maths Term One

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

I am good at counting. It was easy because I can count all of the shapes. I can write my numbers.

Writing Term One

The whale is looking for fish. "I am hungry" said the whale. The whale ate the fish.

I am learning to sound out words in my writing.

I am good at doing story writing and sounding out my words. I am also good at using my finger to make finger spaces.

I am learning to draw a 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!
