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.

"Counting in 2s is easy, I can count in 2s up to a high number. I can even count backwards in 2s."

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.

"We need the letter blend for the sound the ipad is saying. You press that one and then find the other letters. It will say the word. I thought it was easy."

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.

"The picture was tricky. I did neat Handwriting. I am proud of my story writing."

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 'Max and the Bird House' because I like birds. I had not read this story before. I did three answers right so I got one grey cat. Next time I will try to get four coloured cats."

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 read my story to check for mistakes. Sometimes I forget to put capital letters in the right place. I also check for full stops at the end of the story."
