We Are Learning To read with fluency and expression

Every week we learn a new poem that we take home to share with our families. We worked with our group to pick our favourite and practised reading it. 

"I am learning to read the poetry. I am so proud of learning it. It can be tricky to read the author."

Self-Portrait 2018

Look at our fabulous Self-Portraits! 

We have been learning to sketch our faces using a sketch pencil. 

We used our different types of lines (whispering lines, loop the loop lines and skinny lines). Then we went over it in pastels to make them stand out. Lastly, we added some funky glasses to our faces! 

We Are Learning To write simple sentences.

In this piece of writing, we shared our favourite part about ourselves. We also thought about why it was our favourite part. 

"I am learning to write my words down. I find sounding out my words easy. Making sure I have the right letter for new words is sometimes tricky."

We Are Learning How to read the graph and talk about the results.

For Maths we have been learning all about Statistics in Room 10. We have been learning about bar graphs, pie graphs and pictographs. Here is an activity I can do on Mathletics to help me.

"I am learning about bar graphs and which one has the most pencils. It was easy to find the person with the most pencils. I sometimes wanted to just guess because I didn’t understand the question."

Edit Writing

WALT - edit our writing.

We used our iPads to edit a writing on 'Explain Yourself'. I worked with my team. It was great fun!

We worked together to make sure...
* There is be a full stop at the end of a sentence
* We start a sentence with a capital letter
* To check for spelling mistakes

The Very Hungry Caterpillar

WALT - use different art skills to make the Very Hungry Caterpillar art. 

I used paint, pastels, wax crayons, dye to make our artwork. I even used coloured vivid to colour in my butterfly!

My artwork was displayed in the Auditorium for the Art Exhibition. I am very proud of it.
