Reading my poem

Here you are reading a poem of your choice. You are learning to pay attention to the author’s punctuation to help your reading sound interesting and change your voice when you see bold print. Reading out loud to people is a fun way to show your family what skilled readers you are becoming.

Swimming like a fish!

Here you are in the pool!

 You managed yourself well by getting changed before and after swimming independently.

It was great to see you developing confidence in the water.

Stephen says:  I like using the noodles to help me float in the pool.

Basic sight words

Here is the list of alphabet letters you are learning. We highlight them when you know the name, sound they make and a word that starts with the letter.

Stephen says:  I am learning my letters.  I think it is tricky because there are lots to remember.

Counting the frogs.

"I am rolling the ball. I am counting the frogs."

Term 2 Writing

I have been writing lots of stories at school.  I can draw a picture for my brainstorm and then I use my alphabet card to help me find words and sounds that I need to write my sentence.

Stephen says:  I am good at drawing my picture.  I need to practise writing words.

Self Portrait

First we had to draw what we thought we looked like. Then we talked about the shape of our face and where all the parts on our head went. We had to think carefully about all the little bits, like the shapes of our eyes and what our eyebrows looked like. We had to really concentrate and think about how to draw the lines for our faces.

Term 1 writing sample

I am learning to:

I know I am successful when:
-my picture illustrates my writing
-I try words on my own
-I have read my writing and it makes sense.

Stephen said," I do pictures."
