Making groups of 5

I am learning to make groups of 5. I had 5 teddies to start with. I put 2 in the yellow house and 3 in the white house. It is tricky for me to join these two numbers together. I used my fingers to help me. I held up 2 fingers and then 3 fingers and then counted. I have 5 fingers altogether. 

Acrostic poems

We are learning to write an acrostic poem. We wrote about spring. It can be tricky to spell words. We enjoyed writing something for each letter. We had to think of a word that started with S, P, R, I, N, G and we had to start our sentence with this letter.

Mrs Bovill typed the stories for us and we helped her publish them. We got to choose a colour for the capital letters, the font and we helped choose the size so our page was full. Our poems look awesome!

We are so proud because Mrs Bovill thinks they are fabulous and we wrote great stories. We are proud because we are poets.

Spring blossoms

Look at our spring blossoms! First we drew the branch going across the page. We coloured our branches using pastel. We made the blossoms by scrunching up tissue paper and gluing them onto our trees. We then made a little bee or butterfly to go on our picture. We sketched our picture and then drew it on our plastic film. Mrs Bovill then cut them out and we glued them onto our picture.

End sounds

I am learning to look for the end sound in new words. I chose the picture of the pig. Then I made the end sound and I put the peg on 'g'. It is a bit tricky for me to find the end sounds. 

Our teddy bear adventure!

We went on a trip to explore free things to do in our community. We took our class bear on our adventure too. Look at me taking our bear down the pole! 

Rhyming string

We are learning to make a rhyming string. We have read lots of Dr Seuss books and listened for lots of rhyming words. Our favourite story was the ‘Cat in the Hat’. We wrote down some words that rhymed with cat.  

"I drew the eyes and happy face. I had chose words that rhymed with cat. This was easy for me." 

Shape robots

I am learning about shapes. I had to get some eyes and I used a circle and a hexagon to make them. His body is a square. This was tricky for me. 

Using our word of the week and writing about community

I am learning to use the word ‘said’ in my writing. We are learning about community too, so ‘The Bee Lady’ came to visit us. I am so proud of my story. It looks lovely, cute, cool and super. It can be tricky to spell words like ‘bee’ and to type the words on the computers. The next step for me might be to try again so I can do it quicker. 

I chose a picture of a bee. Mrs Bovill typed my story. Writing is tricky for me.
