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!

Pyjama Day

One Friday last term we had Pyjama morning! We had so much fun at Pyjama Jump Jam. We went back to the classroom and had a yummy breakfast. We had coco pops, toast and fruit. It was yum! We had so much fun in our pyjamas but then we had to get changed into our uniform. We had the best day!

Using other punctuation

I am learning when to use other punctuation

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

Guess what I did on the weekend? I went to the beach on Saturday! We didn't pick up shells. 
I was happy!

I am proud of myself because I know how to use question marks, exclamation marks and apostrophes. I know that i need to improve on remembering where to put speech marks and commas.

Adding details

I am learning to add some detail to my story.

The Lonely Big Blue Whale

One afternoon in the deep blue sea lived a lonely big blue whale. She had just one naughty friend. So she was searching for some friends. And the next week she searched and searched then she found them.

I like adding detail to my story. It is fun thinking about the 5Ws when I am writing. 

Root Words

I am good at matching the root words to their endings. I think it is easy and I don't need any help from my teacher.

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 found colouring in my shape monster easy. It was all easy! I just knew my trapezoid had 4 sides. I didn't need to count it!

Retelling the main events

I am learning to retell the main events of the story.

I know how to retell the story. It is easy. When I forget, I can look at my book.

Adding to make ten

I am learning to split numbers to make ten to help me add.

I think it was a bit hard and then it was easy when I Mrs Mason showed me how to do it.

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 describing words. It was easy and fun. I like my word cloud. It is pretty.

Reading Term One

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

I think it is easy to sound out my words. I use the robot.

Maths Term One

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

I like counting up to 20. I can also count up to 100. 

I am learning to sound out words and underline my try words

In April it's going to be my birthday. It will be fun. I will open my friend's presents. I will be happy.

I am learning to sound out words in my writing and underline my try words.

Reflections

Sometimes I find it hard to remember too underline my words. I like sounding out my words.

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!
