Finding the problem and solution in the story

After the Flood

Problem:

The flood was gone and the car was muddy. "Come on" said Rachel, "Let's clean the car." The house was muddy too. It was all muddy, even the kids!

Solution:

Rachel cleaned the kids and the car. They cleaned the house too.

Sometimes it is easy to find the problem and hard to think about a solution.

Counting Money and Working Out Change

Balancing on the beam

We are learning how to balance on a beam in Gymnastics. We have to carefully climb on the beam and stand up. We have to  put our aeroplanes arms out to help us balance. We then have to walk all the way to the other side. Sometimes we have to turn and go back too. It can be scary sometimes because the beam wobbles when we walk on it. We are all getting better at balancing on the beam!

Using other punctuation

I am learning when to use other punctuation

e.g. comma, exclamation mark, question mark, apostrophe, speech marks

I have 20 Star Wars cards. My Mum always goes to the shop. The shopping people always give me Star Wars cards. My favourite ones are BB8, Chewbacca and Princess Leia. I like them a lot!

I am most proud of being able to use commas and exclamation marks. I think I need to improve and use other punctuation like question marks.

Adding details

I am learning to add some detail to my writing.

Lollipop the Whale

One afternoon in the deep blue sea lived a lonely big blue whale called Lollipop. He had no friends. He searched and searched but he couldn’t find anyone to play with. He saw a tail that was a fish that was called Dory. He wanted to be the whale’s friend.

I like adding detail to my writing. It is fun thinking about where and when the story happened. I also like thinking of adjectives to put in my writing.

Blends and Digraphs

I am most proud of finding all the blends in the book. It was sometimes hard to remember where they were!

St John Visit

Mac from St John came to talk to the children at Elm Park School about safety and first Aid. He brought his mini ambulance Amby along with him. Mac taught Room 11 about who to call when there is an emergency. We looked at different pictures and had to decide if we needed to call for the police, the firemen or an ambulance. We had actions that we had to do to show Mac that we knew who to call!

Shape Monster

I am learning to name and describe plane shapes.

We are learning about Geometry in Room 11. We are learning to name plane shapes and to say how many sides and corners the shape has. We created shape monsters and wrote a description about them.

I liked making my shape monster. It was hard to remember how many corners and sides my shape monster had.

Counting on from the largest number

I am learning to count on from the largest number.

I like using the tens frames. They help me count on from the biggest number.

Retelling the main events

The Grasshopper reading group are learning to retell the main events of a story.

I think it can be hard sometimes but I can use my book to help me remember.

Youthtown

Room 11 has been going to Youthtown this term. We have been learning how to throw a ball at a target. We learned that you need to have your one arm in an L shape ready to throw the ball. The other arm needs to be pointing at the target. Then we have to do a power throw and try to hit the target. Sometimes we hit the cones and sometimes the ball goes in a different direction.

Word Clouds

I am learning to use describing words in my writing.

I like my word cloud. I had to think about Roly-Poly bird. It was a bit hard.

Maths Term One

I am learning to solve simple addition problems up to 20.

I like maths. It is easy to add to 20.

Reading Term One

I am learning to sound out words as I read.

Sometimes it is hard to sound out words.

I am learning to sound out words

The dolphin and the fish became a nice family.

I am learning to sound out words when I am writing a story.

Next time I will do the robot to help me sound out words.

I am learning to draw a self-portrait

I have been learning how to draw my self-portrait. First Mrs Scott came to show us how to sketch our face. We sketched our face shape first. Then we drew our guidelines to help us remember where our eyes, nose, mouth and ears went. We practised using a whispering pencil and a shouting pencil. Our first sketch looked a bit funny so we tried again. This time we used a photo of us to help us. We had to start all over again! Miss Radue then helped us rub out all the whispering pencil guidelines and photocopied our sketches so they were bigger. We had to go around our sketch with vivid and then we used pastel to colour in our self-portraits. It was hard work but we had a lot of fun!
