Writing our word of the week

I am learning to use the word of the week in my story writing. I had to use the word see in my story. It is tricky to write words. I can use my word card to help me. I can try and sound out my letters. I am proud when I write my words. I am proud when I find the word I need on my word card. I am proud of my picture I did on Kid Pix.

"I like story writing. I am drawing the shells on the computer. I write with Mrs Bovill. I had to use the word see in my story writing" - William 

Before and after numbers

I am learning about numbers that are before and after. It is tricky to know what number comes before and after. It is easy to count up to the number, this helps me know what number comes before. I can use the hundreds board to help me find the numbers before and after.

"Number 2 is before number 3. I am pointing at number 2. This is easy for me" - William.

Using the illustrations to help me read

I am learning to use the illustrations to help me read. Illustrations help me read tricky words. I can look at the pictures and find words that match the sounds of the letters I can hear and see. Pictures give me clues when I am reading. They help me know what the story is about. I can talk about the pictures.

“I am pointing at the picture. I am pointing at the letters” – William.

Using the computers

I like reading on the computers. I can listen to the story while I read the book. 

Swimming

I am learning to float using milk bottles. I like swimming in the pool.
