Summarising information

I am learning to summarise information from a fiction book.

The Chasing Game

In a small village close to a forest a green dragon roars in the middle of the night. Every night it wakes up the people. They were getting tired of getting woken up in the middle of the night.

I sometimes find it hard to summarise what I have read. I need to go back and read the story again.

Counting Money and Working Out Change

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!

Using other punctuation

I am learning when to use other punctuation

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

Guess what I did last night? I watched 10 of the scariest things about Pokemon. Do you like to hear one? Ok, I'm going to tell you. Some kids were playing when they saw something. They thought it was nothing but it was a haunter. It's really scary!

I know how to use a lot of punctuation. I can use commas, question marks, exclamation marks and apostrophes. I need to improve on using speech marks.

Making connections

I am learning to make connections between the book and my own experiences to say what I think.

It is hard to think of my experiences and try and connect them to the book. 

Adding detail

I am learning to add some detail to my story.

Lost in the Krill

In the afternoon there were three whales. One was little and two were big. The baby, dad and mum whales were looking for some krill to eat. That is when he got lost in the krill.

I find it hard to think about some things at writing. I tried my best to think about when the story happened and tell Mrs Mason more about what happened in my story.

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!

Shape 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.

I liked making my circle shape monster. I put a Poke ball on my shape monster. It is a great ball!

Tidy Numbers

I am learning to use tidy numbers to solve addition problems.

I think it is easy to use tidy numbers. I can work the problems with the smaller numbers out and now I need to practise with bigger numbers.

Talking about the plot

The Bumble Bee group is learning to talk about the plot and to remember who the characters are in the story.

It is easy to remember who the characters are. I think it is also easy to figure out the problem.

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 chose the Batman logo. We had to think about words to describe the Roly-Poly bird. It was easy for me.

Reading Term One

I am learning to read with fluency and expression.

Sometimes it is hard to read and think about how I am going to say it.

Maths Term One

I am learning to solve addition problems up to 100.

I like doing hard maths. I can count way past 100. I just keep on counting until I want to stop.

Writing Term One

Today I learned about butterflies. First it is an egg and then it changes into a caterpillar. Then it changes into a chrysalis ant then a butterfly.

I am learning to remember how to use capital letters and full stops correctly.

I like writing stories. Sometimes I forget the full stops and capital letters.

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!

Welcome

Welcome to my blog for when I am in Room 11. On my blog you will see all my learning. I hope you enjoy it.
