Grandparents Day

Today was grandparents day when our grandparents got to come into school and help us make a Christmas Lantern decoration.  After we had finished I read Nana some stories from my publishing book.

This is the Christmas lantern that I made with Nana.

This is me reading stories to Nana.

Making Patterns

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

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

Story Writing

I am learning to write longer stories by adding more detail.  This is the next step in independent writing.

"I went to the shop and I got an ice block."

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."

Retelling a Story

We are learning to retell a story that we have read.  This is a story we read during our guided reading lesson.

"This story is about Dad and Tom.  Dad kicked the ball over next door and they had to go and look for it."

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.

"I found it easy to put the hair on, but it was hard to choose the right colours."

Maths

We are learning to make sets to ten.

"I have 6 yellow counters and 4 red counters.  I have 10 altogether."

Storywriting

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

"This is my Mummy.  She is walking on the beach."

Reading Strategies

We are learning to identify different parts of a book.

"This is the spine of my book."
