Counting on from 5

I am learning to keep 5 in my head and count on.  We play the board games to help us practice this.

" I can do the dice counting.  I roll the dice and I put the counter on the number.  I put 5 in my head and count it up."said Ashley

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 write words by myself because we robot them at Story writing, Phonics and Reading" said Ashley

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 robot the words in my story and I can put a full stop in the right place." said Ashley

Paper bear

We learnt how to draw a teddy bear looking at the different shapes that make up the head and arms. We wrote about our bear and published it onto a paper bag.

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!

Ashley said," I like the story. I was so proud."

Before and after

You are trying to recognise the number before a number in the range 10-20. You have to put a peg on the correct number. The before numbers can be a bit tricky.

Ashley said, " I was finding numbers, before numbers. I think it was hard."

Beginning and end sounds

I am learning to make the first sound and look at the pictures to help me work out the words I don't know.

" I am good at looking at the pictures and I know words." Ashley

Maths

I am learning to write my numbers in the correct order.  I am also learning to count backward from 10.

Ashley said " I can do numbers in the rocket because I can count."

Reading

I am learning to point to the words and use the pictures to help me read the words.

Ashley said " I can look at the pictures because it gives me a clue."

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.

Ashley said " I can look at the words on the cards so it gives me a clue what word it is"
