My narrative writing - The old rotten house

 It was  tricky to write some of the words but I tried. I was proud that I could finish my narrative writing. I needed help spelling words that were tricky.

My recipe book

I was learning how to do my own recipe book. We made pancakes, fruit kebabs, smoothies, soup and lemonade. I was the flipper I flipped the pancakes with other people that was fun.

A Puppet Show

WALT create and perform a puppet show. 

Room 10/11 had a great opportunity to create and perform a puppet show from scratch! They had to write the script, make the stage and props such as a butterfly, a cocoon, a caterpillar and different types of foods. They practised for a few weeks and developed their acting and understanding of stage performance. Take a look at Liam's group’s performance. (Please click the title above the picture)

The little hungry caterpillar 

Setting description: There’s mountains and a lake and some trees. In the sky there’s an egg on a leaf. 

Narrator: the egg hatches from the leaf. 

Narrator: The caterpillar climbed down from the tree. 

Narrator: Then the caterpillar looked for some fruits. 

Narrator: The caterpillar found cookies. 

Narrator: then the caterpillar found a lollipop and some strawberries. 

Narrator: the caterpillar was sad that he couldn’t find ice-cream but he finally found some ice creams. 

Narrator: then the caterpillar changed into a cocoon. 

Narrator: At last the caterpillar turned into a butterfly.

Narrator: the butterfly’s wings are wet but it’s drying its wings. 

Narrator: then the butterfly can fly!

Book Character Dress Up Day!

On Thursday 21 November, Room 10/11 had a fun day dressed up as their favourite book characters. There were princesses, witches, wizards, Hairy Maclary and many other characters from different books! It was great to see the love of reading and making a connection to those characters. Well done Room 10/11 for your amazing effort and costumes! 

Tens frames and teens

WALT recall addition and subtraction of teens

In maths, we are learning to recall addition and subtraction of teen numbers using tens frame. We are slowly building up the strategy to be able to recall the answers to different subtraction and addition problems instantly. We are using different strategies like knowing addition is commutative and counting on from the bigger numbers. 

We are learning to draw a sea lion.

Room 10/11 have made the Sea Lion artwork for the Art Show that is taking place in Term 3 Week 9. We observed different features and postures of the sea lion and learned to draw it step by step to make our own sea lions. Then we made our background by blending different shades and tints of blue. We also made rocks by scrunching up some brown paper.

Poetry Recital

I am learning to read and recite a poem of my choice. 

In Year 2, we have been learning many different poems. We had to choose a poem that we liked and had time to practise it in class and at home. 

We had to work on the following:

- Body Language and Eye contact - Standing still and looking at the audience. 

- Fluency - Speaking at a medium pace. 

- Clarity - Making sure we are speaking clearly. 

- Preparation - Knowing my poem when reading it. 

- Volume - Making sure I am talking so that everyone can hear me. 

Sea Creature Inquiry

WALT find information and create a piece of artwork on a Sea Creature 

This Term, we have been learning about Sea Creatures in our oceans and seas. 

We have learnt a lot of things such as: 

- The difference between animals that are endangered and extinct.

- Reasons why animals become either endangered and/or extinct. 

- What we can do to help take care of our animals and sea creatures in NZ. 

We were excited to complete a home project on a Sea Creature of our choice. We even got to display it in our classrooms and had the Year 1 classes and our Year 5 Buddy class come and visit us. We displayed our work on the tables, standing behind it and spoke about it to other children while answering questions. 

Hosting the Junior Assembly

Junior Assembly 

WALT celebrate and share our learning achievement with others

This Term we were lucky enough to host one of the Junior Assemblies. Some of us volunteered to speak while others showed our amazing Harold the giraffe portrait and writing. We worked really hard, practising our items and reading our script. We can't wait till it's our turn next to host assembly! 

The best part of me!

Welcome to Year 2

WALT identify the author and the illustrator in the text.

WALT identify the author and the illustrator in the text.

Room 4 has been using all of our reading skills this year, ready for Year 2. Every week we have a new 'test'
about different parts of the book. We have been searching for full stops, exclamation marks, question marks
and commas. This week we are focusing on finding the author and the illustrator. We all had a turn to come up
and point to where the authors name is. Miss Donnell tried to trick some of us and changed the pages!

'I know the author is the writer of the story and they do the words.'

WALT create a wearable piece of artwork

WALT create a wearable piece of artwork.

Our art focus over Term 2 and 3 has been creating a piece of
art we can wear. Miss Donnell introduced us to a song in The Little Mermaid called 'Under the Sea' which was the focus of our art work.

We created our artwork by sketching sea animals in our books and tracing them onto laminated sheets. We coloured them in and created patterns using vivids. Miss Donnell glued them on to tutus and t-shirts for us to wear.

Check out my awesome art piece!

Our Writing Successes

   

WALT reflect on our 2018 writing.

We looked in our writing books at the first piece of writing
we did this year and the most recent piece of writing.
We talked about what had changed in our writing,
what we have learnt so far and are excited
to learn next year in Year 2.

Something I have learnt in writing this year is how to sound out tricky words.

Something I am proud of in writing this year is writing lots and my pictures are good too.

WALT identify NZ notes and coins

WALT identify NZ notes and coins.

We had Captain Cash from ASB come to visit Room 4.
We learnt lots about saving money, spending money and
sharing money.

Miss Donnell decided to test us and see if we remembered how to sort out the coins and notes from biggest to smallest.

Look at my sorting success!
