Counting on from 5

I am learning to keep 5 in my head and count on.  We play the board games to help us practice this.

" I can do the dice counting.  I roll the dice and I put the counter on the number.  I put 5 in my head and count it up."said Delaney

Phonics

We are learning to listen and record the sounds we can hear.  We are able to blend the sounds altogether.  We can use our phonics at Story writing and Reading time to help us.

"I can write words by sounding it out.  I can robot words at Story writing and Reading time." said Delaney

Making Pizza

We made pizza as a class, using ingredients that we had grown ourselves. 

These photos show the writing process. We started with the 'draft stage', where students try to use the skills they have been taught. After 'conferencing' with the teacher and 'editing', they produce the 'published work' for their audience to enjoy.

                           "I can do a lot of finger spaces and full stops." Delaney

Paper bear

We learnt how to draw a teddy bear looking at the different shapes that make up the head and arms. We wrote about our bear and published it onto a paper bag.

Cats

I have been learning how to draw a cat.  I can mix colours together and I can also use charcoal to show shading.

Before and after numbers

I am learning to say the number that comes before and after to 10.  I am placing the peg on the correct answer.

"I remembered the numbers. I am trying to get it in the right place. "Delaney

Deep in the compost bin!

As part of our inquiry we have been looking at creatures that dwell in the darkness of our compost bins.

After we observed and handled these creatures, watched video clips and read books about them; we wrote these fabulous stories.

Part of the writing process is presenting our finished work in a way the captures our readers attention. We hope you enjoy viewing our quality work!

Delaney said, " I like the compost story because I did a very good slater."

Beginning sounds

I am learning to point to the words and make the first sound in words I am not sure of.

"I am proud of all my words I know." Delaney

Student lead conferences

Here you are sharing your learning with your Mum at your Student Lead Conference. This was a great chance to celebrate the progress you have made so far this year.

Reading

I am learning to point to the words so I don't miss any of them out.

Delaney said," I can read the words because I look at the pictures. The pictures help you get a clue. It helps you know about the story."

Maths

I am learning to recognise the numbers 7,8,9,10. I am learning to make a set of each number.

Delaney said," We are doing numbers. You have to count and get the same number."

Scooter day

We are learning to keep ourselves safe when we are on a scooter.

Story writing

I am learning to write my story by myself.  I can use my word card and my sounds to help me write the words.

I am learning to get in the pool safely.  I am gaining confidence to put my head under the water.
