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.

" I had to put the counters on the right numbers. Counting in 2s is easy. I do not need to look at the numbers."

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.

"you have to listen to the words. Sometimes it's tricky and sometimes it's easy. Most times it's easy. You have to listen very hard."

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 write words like cricketer. I try to spell lots of words by myself. I can write longer stories now."

I Am Learning to Subtract Numbers

We are learning to take away. They are easy. We enjoy playing this game on the ipad.

"The answer was 4, I counted the animals. It was easy."

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 'Baby Bear Climbs the Tree'. Mother Bear and baby Bear needed to get acorns. I liked this book. I chose it because I had not read it before. I got four coloured dogs because I was doing good reading."

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 check my story to make sure it can make sense. I put capital letters at the beginning and I put full stops at the end of the sentence."
