Ordering Numbers

We are learning to order numbers to 10.

Onyx: Using the number cards is easiest. The hand cards are hard. 

I like rugby!

We are learning to relate the story to our experiences.

Onyx: I like the other page about scoring a try. I like rugby.

Picture + Words = Story time in Room 4

We are learning to match our picture to our words.

Onyx: I like going to the pools with Mum. I wrote my story all by myself.

Swimming in Room 4!

We are learning to float on our back.

Onyx: I can lie on my back in the water. I can go underwater too!

Greedy Cats

Last week we were reading the big book "Greedy Cat".  To follow on from this we decided to create our own cat faces for art.  Students had to look carefully at size and position as they sketched their cat faces onto paper.  Look at the great results!

My Writing

Onyx, Wow! Your basic word recall has grown and with support you are beginning to use your alphabet sounds to spell longer words. You are learning about the use of finger spaces, capital letters and full stops in your writing and you have good ideas for your stories. Great work!

Cherry Blossom Tree

As part of our Spring celebrations we created a picture of a tree with blossoms.  First students practised sketching leaves and following that we explored the different shapes of trees.  Students then painted the trunk and branches as well as a background.  The final step was to draw and cut out leaves and grass, and then create blossoms using coloured tissue paper.  A lot of learning went on during this piece of art as students used their fine motor skills to add details to their work.
