Grandparents Day

Today was grandparents day when our grandparents got to come into school and help us make a Christmas Lantern decoration.  After we had finished I read Grandma some stories from my publishing book.

This is me with my Grandma.  She is helping me put the glue on my lantern.

Recount Writing

We have been learning to write longer stories by adding more details.  This is my story about our trip to Ambury Farm.

"I went to Ambury Farm.  I saw a pig.  I saw a cow."

Making Patterns

In maths we have been learning how to make different patterns.

"This is my pattern.  It is blue, green, red."

Soccer Skills Workshop

We had a soccer workshop.  We went out on the field and played lots of games.  We got to kick the ball around.

"I am playing statues."

Retelling a Story

We are learning to retell a story that we have read.  This is a story we read during our guided reading lesson.

"They smiled at mum and dad and they passed it on to the children and they kept it all day."

Self Portrait

We have been learning to make good colour choices.

First we drew a picture of our faces, then we chose colours to match our faces and coloured in our picture.  We then glued the face onto another piece of paper that we dyed the day before.  Next we coloured in a piece of paper for our hair and cut it out.  The last thing we did was glue the hair onto our picture.

"It was easy for me to cut the hair out but it was hard to glue the hair on."

Maths

We are learning to recognise numbers to 10.

"This is number 6."

Storywriting

We have been learning to make our pictures match our story.

"This is my Grandma.  She is driving the bus."

Reading Strategies

We are learning to know the difference between a letter, a word and a sentence.

"A word has lots of letters in it.  There are spaces at the front and at the back."
