I Am Learning to Count in Twos

We have been learning to count in twos. We usually do it in the morning when we look at the calendar. We played this game on the ipad today.

"its a bit tricky. I can do it using the numbers, but then I need to learn to say the numbers without looking."

I Am Learning to Sound Out Words That Begin With Blends

We have been using the ipads to listen and find the sounds in words beginning with blends.

"It is easy. I have to listen to for the sounds and touch the right letters."

Fantastic Frogs

As a follow up to our poem ‘Frog Song’ and our Big Book, we sketched frogs. We coloured them with pastels. We then had fun drawing flies and sticking on wobbly eyes. We think they look cool!

When I Grow Up

We have had lots of visitors from our community who have talked to us about their jobs. We wrote a story about what we would like to be when we grow up.

"It was tricky to find the words like fireman, but I am getting good at finding more words by myself now. I am good at spelling words."

I Am Learning to Read A Book on the Computer

During Reading time we have turns of the computer. We read the PM Readers. We read the same colour as the books we read with Mrs Grainger. We listen to the story first, then we do the activities. We try to get 4 coloured animals at the bottom of the screen. This shows we have answered the questions correctly the first time. A grey animal shows we had to try again to get the correct answer.

" I chose 'Mother Tiger and her Cubs'. It is my favourite book. I like to read this on the computer. We read this in class with Mrs Grainger last week. I have to match the right sentence with the picture. I have got them all right so far."

I Am Learning to Proofread My Story

We walked to Archmillion Park. We had a map with clues to follow. We had to find the treasure. It was fun. We wrote about our treasure hunt. We are learning to check our story for capital letters, full stops and does it make sense.

"I can do finger spaces. I do full stops and the end of the story. I put capital letters at the start of the sentence. I keep reading to make sure it makes sense."
