Finding the problem and solution in the story

After the Flood

Problem:

The children got all muddy after playing downstairs where the flood was.

Solution:

They could have put a mat on the mud and after a while the mud will get all sucked up and then they can take it out.

Sometimes it is easy to talk about the problem but not the solution. I like thinking about the problem.

Counting Money and Working Out Change

Using other punctuation

I am learning when to use other punctuation

e.g. comma, exclamation mark, question mark, apostrophe, speech marks

"There is a monster over there!" said Tom's Mum. "It looks happy and it looks hungry." said Tom.

I am proud of myself because I can use apostrophes for contraction words. I try to use speech mark but sometimes I forget where to put them!

Balancing on the beam

We are learning how to balance on a beam in Gymnastics. We have to carefully climb on the beam and stand up. We have to  put our aeroplanes arms out to help us balance. We then have to walk all the way to the other side. Sometimes we have to turn and go back too. It can be scary sometimes because the beam wobbles when we walk on it. We are all getting better at balancing on the beam!

Adding detail

I am learning to add some detail to my story.

Mrs Big and the Sea Snake

At night time Mrs Big hear a sound. Mrs Big hear the sound like this “sssssss”. Snd the thing was a sea snake. Mrs Big got frightened from the sea snake. The sea snake got frightened as well.

I like adding the details to the story. It is tricky thinking about the 5Ws before I write my story.

Blends and Digraphs

I got a lot better at finding the blends in my book. It was sometimes hard to find them.

St John Visit

Mac from St John came to talk to the children at Elm Park School about safety and first Aid. He brought his mini ambulance Amby along with him. Mac taught Room 11 about who to call when there is an emergency. We looked at different pictures and had to decide if we needed to call for the police, the firemen or an ambulance. We had actions that we had to do to show Mac that we knew who to call!

Maths Monster

I am learning to name and describe plane shapes.

We are learning about Geometry in Room 11. We are learning to name plane shapes and to say how many sides and corners the shape has. We created shape monsters and wrote a description about them.

The hard part was colouring in my shape monster. The easy bit was gluing the parts together. It was also easy to remember how many sides and corners my shape monster has.

Counting on from the largest number

I am learning to count on from the largest number.

Counting on from the biggest number is easy! First I count the biggest number on one tens frame and then I count out the small number. I know how to count to ten so I keep counting until I count all the blue counters.

Retelling the main events

The Grasshopper reading group are learning to retell the main events of a story.

I like retelling the story. I am good at it because I am good at remembering things

Youthtown

Room 11 has been going to Youthtown this term. We have been learning how to throw a ball at a target. We learned that you need to have your one arm in an L shape ready to throw the ball. The other arm needs to be pointing at the target. Then we have to do a power throw and try to hit the target. Sometimes we hit the cones and sometimes the ball goes in a different direction.

Word Clouds

I am learning to use describing words in my writing.

This is my word cloud. I like it. Sometimes it was hard when we had to think about words about Roly-Poly Bird. I did it by myself.

Maths Term One

I am learning to solve simple addition problems up to 20.

I like adding. I think it's a little but I will get better.

Reading Term One

I am learning to sound out words as I read.

I like sounding out the words. Sometimes it's a bit tricky.

I am learning to sound out my words and underline my try words

A volcano erupted. It erupted pancakes and popcorn. The popcorn went bang. 'Bang!' went the popcorn.

I am learning to sound out my words and underline my try words.

I think I am very good at trying to sound out my words. I am going to get better at sounding out the words.

I am learning to draw a self-portrait

I have been learning how to draw my self-portrait. First Mrs Scott came to show us how to sketch our face. We sketched our face shape first. Then we drew our guidelines to help us remember where our eyes, nose, mouth and ears went. We practised using a whispering pencil and a shouting pencil. Our first sketch looked a bit funny so we tried again. This time we used a photo of us to help us. We had to start all over again! Miss Radue then helped us rub out all the whispering pencil guidelines and photocopied our sketches so they were bigger. We had to go around our sketch with vivid and then we used pastel to colour in our self-portraits. It was hard work but we had a lot of fun!
