Wild animal tee shirts

I am learning to sketch a wild animal and transfer my drawing to a tee shirt.  I used special fabric markers to colour in my design.

Number line subtraction

I am learning to use a number line to help solve subtraction problems to 20.

"I can count backwards to work out subtraction problems.  I put the biggest number first.
Sometimes I can do it in my head" said Jordan

Reading out loud

We are learning to read familiar poems out loud. We are trying to read with fluency and expression. As we get more confident, we can pay attention to the author's punctuation to help our reading sound more interesting.

"I can sound out words I don't know when I read out loud. I can read loudly so everyone can hear" said Jordan

Wonderful writing

At writing time we are learning to experiment with new types of punctuation. We are starting to read our stories back and check we have fullstops and capital letters in the correct places.

" I can write longer sentences and go over the page. I am smarter now!"

Reading strategies

I am learning to use the reading strategies I have been taught. The Reading Eggs programme supports my learning.

"I have learnt more words and I get better at reading." said Jordan

Rocket ship

We have been learning about the solar system this term.  We made a rocket with paper and a straw then blew through the straw to see how far our rocket would travel.  

Measuring Fun

We were experimenting  with learning to measure with non-standard units.  We were learning to have an accurate starting and finishing point when we measure and use measuring language. 

"It was a bit easy and a bit tricky. Going down my hand was hard. You have to be careful to get it right."

Phonics Time

Phonics lessons are a very important part of our Writing programme.

As I get more confident I try tricker things. In this photo I listened to a dictated sentence and then tried to write down what I heard and put in the correct punctuation. 

" I know so many letters and words. I am going to do capitals right next time."

Solar system

I have been learning about what is in our solar system.  I have learnt a lot about Mars.

Compound words.

I am learning to recognise and read compound words. I know that compound words are made of two little words.

"A compound word is 2 little words joined together to make one big word." said Jordan

Making sets

Owl Babies

We are learning to publish our writing for an audience, because we are authors. In Room 3 we try to present our work in many different and interesting ways to encourage people to come and read our fabulous stories!

"The beak is like a triangle. I used some 'wow' words."

Beginning and ending sounds

I am learning to look at the first and last sounds in words to help me work out new words.

"I can look at the first and last sounds because it helps me" said Jordan

Story Writing

We are learning to write down our ideas and draw a picture to match.

In the beginning ...                                                       and now!

" I like my finger spaces. I can do lots of words. The colouring is a bit hard." said Jordan

Groupings with 5

I am learning to know the sum of 5 and any other number to 5.  I know to start with 5 in my head and count on.   I am able to do this without help from materials.

" I can put 5 in my head and then count on to the number on the dice." said Jordan

Tread Lightly Caravan visit

The Tread lightly Caravan visit was teaching us that the environment is everything around us in nature and that the environment is really important for us to live (trees for oxygen, water to drink, plants for food etc.) so we need to look after it.

"I am watering my plant to make it grow so big."

Making a garden

We are learning to care for our environment. We will make our school look beautiful.

Our class planted flowers and some vegetables for making a pizza. 

Jordan said, "I am helping in the garden."
