Number sentences

I am learning to add two numbers together. I had to put the apples in the middle of the tree. I counted the apples. There were 10 apples. This was a bit tricky for me. I am happy because I got the answer right. 

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. 

Acrostic poem

 

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.

“It is tricky to do a poem because it was hard for me to think of the words that started with the right letter.” William.

Root words and their endings

I circled the normal words in blue and the endings in red. This was tricky for me because I am only just learning this and I needed Mrs Bovill's help to do it. 

Rhyming strings

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 had to think of words that rhymed. I chose six words - cat, hat, mat, sat, fat and rat. This is the 'at' word family. This is easy peasy for me."

PMP fun

Look at me in the dizzy giddy! I can spin it round and round. 

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. They look 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 and chose the colour. I typed the letter from book on the computer. I like computers and my story.
