We Are Learning To read with fluency and expression

Every week we learn a new poem that we take home to share with our families. We worked with our group to pick our favourite and practised reading it.

"I am learning to read the poem. I am so proud of reading the words. It was tricky to say some new words."

Self-Portrait 2018

Look at our fabulous Self-Portraits! 

We have been learning to sketch our faces using a sketch pencil. 

We used our different types of lines (whispering lines, loop the loop lines and skinny lines). Then we went over it in pastels to make them stand out. Lastly, we added some funky glasses to our faces!

We Are Learning To write simple sentences.

In this piece of writing, we shared our favourite part about ourselves. We also thought about why it was our favourite part. 

"I am learning to write my own ideas down. I find writing the words easy. Sometimes I forget my full stops which is tricky."

We Are Learning How to read the graph and talk about the results.

For Maths we have been learning all about Statistics in Room 10. We have been learning about bar graphs, pie graphs and pictographs. Here is an activity I can do on Mathletics to help me.

"I am learning about finding the most and least on a graph. Finding the biggest bar was the easiest. I found it was tricky when some of the bars were the same height."

My Welcome Post 2018!

I am learning to add and subtract with ten as one of the numbers.

"I was learning to make ten.  It was hard for me.  It was easy to draw the dots. I like doing take aways, and I want to do more of that.  The Squares group and Mrs Wyatt help me to do my Maths."

I am learning to retell what I have read.

"I have learnt to say what happens in the story.  I can say what happens at the beginning, middle and the end. I can point to the words, and sound them out.  Long words are hard to read.  Mrs Wyatt helps me with my reading."
