Grandparents' Day.

Look who came to visit Room 1 on Grandparents' Day!

Our School Trip.

Room One went to the Howick Historical Village for our school trip.  We saw many things from the olden days.  We played with some wooden toys.  We made our own butter and we ate it on a cracker.  We had an awesome, rainy, tired, cool day!

Maths Slide.

We need to look at the pictures and work out the number sentence, e.g. 2 + 2.  Then we need to figure out the answer.  Last we have to slide the right answer up.  This is a game we can play with a friend in Room 1.

"This game is kind of hard when I play it by myself and when I play it with my friend.  I am just learning to play it and I will get better at it.  I count the dots and then I can slide the answer up and win.  I would like to get faster and faster and faster!"

Reading Games.

We play games at Reading time to help us to get smarter at Reading!

"I am playing the animal match game.  You need to match the words with the right animals like, bee with the bee, and it's like a puzzle.  I am good at this game because I have played it before and I am getting really good at it.  Next time I would maybe like to play that fruit game and my favourite fruit is a strawberry."

My Shadow Writing.

We read a poem about shadows.  We wanted to make shadows in the sunshine but it rained and rained, so Mrs Kerr brought her lamp to school.  We made shadows on the whiteboard.  If we stood close to the lamp, our shadow was bigger and when we stood close to the whiteboard, our shadow was smaller.  We made a pattern using Kidpix and coloured it in with pastels.  Here is my picture and my story.

"I was a cat shadow with cat ears and I’m surprised!" 

My Scarecrow.

Here is my fantastic scarecrow!  First, I read a poem about a scarecrow.  Then I sketched one and Mrs Kerr blew it up on the photocopier.  I coloured my picture with pastels and glued on his flippy, floppy hat.

Writing About Clouds.

We read a poem about clouds.  We went outside and we looked into the sky to see the clouds.  Some of them were shapes we know.  We wrote about what we saw and Mrs Kerr helped us to publish our writing.

"I love my cloud picture and inside it are the words from my story.  It was fun looking at the clouds outside and I saw another cloud on the way home shaped like a little cat."

Numbers In Between.

I am playing - Monkey in the Middle.  I have to look at the two monkeys on the card and choose which number goes in between.  I play lots of Maths games in Room 1 because its a cool, fun way to learn new things and to get better and better.

"I am getting quicker at this game and I like playing it.  I would like to make it a little bit harder, maybe up to 21."

Reading Eggs.

We are learning to use Reading Eggs at school and at home.  I can choose the games I want to play and my friend can choose the same game or a different game.  Some games have alphabet letters and some games have words.  For the really hard games, I have to read a whole sentence.

"I am playing Reading Eggs at school AND at my home.  I play on Dad's laptop when I am at home.  I like it when they read the stories.  We have sound at home but sometimes we don't have it at school.  My favourite game is the ant game.  I can listen to the ant play the music on a guitar or a ukelele."

Sketching a Honeybee.

When we are sketching at school, we do a quick sketch first.  Then we do a very slow, careful sketch with the teacher, and these look amazing!  Here is my honeybee in the hive.

I Am Writing!

First I need to think about my story.  I can draw my picture.   I can copy the day like, Monday.  I write a sentence to match my picture.  My teacher can help me. Sometimes my friend can help too.

"It used to be tricky to write my stories but now I have done it lots and I can write stories a bit easier."

Counting.

We are learning to write our numbers by ourselves and to put them into the right order.

"I can write my numbers by myself.  I need more space because I wrote the numbers too big.  I could just rub out and start again.  It is quite easy for me because I have seen how to do them and now I can do them."

I Can Read.

I am learning to read and write the word - come - this week at school.  Here it is in my reading book.

"I can find the word and it is easy for me because it is on my favourite page and I can use my eyes to find it."
