My Shadow.

I made a shadow shape. It was a statue shape. I felt wobbly. I love my shadow shape.

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 went outside and I saw some clouds.  One of them looked like Planet Earth.  I chose a shape and now my story is in the shape.  Next time I would choose a house shape and write a story about inside a house.  My picture looks amazing and it is floating on the wall."

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 fast at this game and sometimes I make a mistake, and then I just fix it up.  If this game was harder, it would go up to 30.  I like playing the skip counting games and putting the numbers in the right order, but some of the numbers are missing (the odd numbers) and that makes it trickier."

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 can log in by myself on the laptop and the ipad.  At home I play on Mum's ipad.  My favourite game is the Puzzle Park.  I can match the letters.  I am getting faster and faster."

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.

Publishing My Writing.

This is the story I wrote in my book and then I typed the words by myself on the computer.  My picture matches my words.

"It's tricky finding the letters to make a story.  The picture is tricky too because it's hard to draw up the lines so the paint doesn't explode all over my picture.  My picture looks pretty!"
