Making Patterns

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

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

Story Writing

I am learning to copy what has already been written.  This is a step towards writing independently.

"I went to Ambury Farm."

Ambury Farm

We went on a trip to Ambury Farm.  We saw some animals and we got to feed them.  The animals gave us kisses on our hands when we were feeding them.  Ranger Meredith showed us how they get rid of sheep dags (which we learnt was dry poo).  Then we watched as a cow was being milked.

"I liked the goats best."

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 waiting to play statues."

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 hard to find colours for my face."

Maths

We are learning to recognise numbers to 10.

"This is number 8."

Storywriting

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

"These are my brothers.  They are swimming to another island."

Reading Strategies

We are learning to read in the right direction.  To practise we read books every day.

"I start reading here and I stop here."
