Adding to 10

I am learning to write number sentences to 10.  I use the number line to help me count on.  I am working towards trying to do this in my head.

"I can do plus and equals.  I can count on from the peg."  said Zana

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 robot my sounds so you can use them at Reading and story writing.  We can learn more words." said Zana

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 make a compound in my story and I will know where my full stops go." said Zana

My fish

We have been learning how to draw a fish with scales.  We retold the story in our own words.

Cats

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

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!

Zana said, " I like my slater because it has blue colours and I like the legs. The worm is moving. "

Subtracting Frogs!

The skittles game is a fun way to learn about subtraction problems to ten. You also have to try and write a number sentence that matches the number of skittles standing up and lying down.

" I am learning the skittles game and takeaways. I like Sunshine maths on the computer." Zana

Reading for meaning

I am learning to robot a word I do not know and go back and read the sentence again to see if it makes sense.

"I am excited that I am going to the blue rockets." Zana

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.

Maths

I am learning to play Murtle Turtle because it helps me add numbers onto 5.  

Zana said," This is Murtle Turtle. You have to roll the dice and put 5 in your head and count. It was tricky to remember 5 and keep counting."

Reading

I am learning to check if my reading makes sense.  I know this sentence is right because when I read it, it sounds right.

Zana says, " I am learning to put the words together. If we do it wrong it won't make sense. We have to read it again to check."

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.

Zana said " I can write about my picture and I can do quality work.  I can do capital letters."

Reading

I am learning to make the first sound with new words when I am reading.  I get my mouth ready to make the sound.

Zana " I can make the first sound so you know what the word is."

Before and After numbers

I am learning to write the before and after numbers up to 10. I can use the number line to help me.

Zana-" I can do my numbers before and after.  My brain helps me because it is switched on."

Story writing

I am learning to write one sentence.  My word card and my phonics help me with my story.

Zana- " I can do finger spaces and capital letters at the start of a sentence."

Self Portrait

I am learning to draw a self portrait.  I am able to put all the features in the correct place.

Zana " I can draw my nose and my mouth."

Swimming

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

Zana " I can kick my legs and I can put my head under the water."
