WALT: Create self-portrait and painting them with water paint.
We can do this when: we use a pencil to draw ourselves with all the elements of a face and painting our portrait using relevant colours by staying within the lines.
Next step: Use our drawing and painting skills to design and decorate our art mural.
Bobby made a very neat self-portrait using different colours and painting techniques. Great work, it really stands out.
We are learning to: recall addition and subtraction facts in 3 seconds or under.
We
play a game with dice. Two people roll a dice at the same time. They
then have to add or subtract the numbers on the two dice. The winner
gets to challenge another person in the circle.
We have noticed that we are getting faster at recalling our basic facts.
Our next step is to have a practice at home with dice or on Mathletics.
We are learning to use our knowledge of word families and blends to work out unknown words and spell words.
One
game we play to help us with our reading and writing is 'Pass The
Bomb'. We have cards with parts of words, word families (e.g ing) or blends (eg.
bl). When the Bomb comes to you you have to say a word that has the
letters on the card in it. If the Bomb goes off you have to keep the
card. At the end of the game the people who don't have a card are the
winner.
E.g. One card had 'bl' on it so we said words like black, blank, blast...
Our next step is to include some of the more challenging cards in the game.
CARE Values
We
are learning to show the CARE value Excellence. One way we did this in
Term 1 was to have a quick tidy up of the school grounds. We picked up
heaps of rubbish, returned sports equipment and delivered things to lost
property.
Our next step is do this by ourselves when we walk past some rubbish or sports equipment that is in the wrong place.
Music
We are learning to play the recorder.
We can do this when we can play in time and play the correct notes.
Our next step is to practice and learn new songs.
Maths
In maths we finished our fraction ice creams.
We are learning to:
- Identify symbols for fractions.
- Say the names of fractions correctly.
- Find fractions of groups.
- Show the CARE value Excellence in our work presentation.
Our next steps are to:
- Apply this knowledge to find fractions of larger groups of objects.
We learned about ANZAC Day and wrote about some photos from the war.
I am learning to: Write to describe.
I can do this when I can:
- Write sentences that talk about what is happening in the photo.
- Write sentences that make sense.
- Use verbs (doing words) in the right place.
- Use punctuation correctly.
- Write in detail.
I have used a dictionary. My next step is to use capitals correctly.
In maths each morning we have a basic facts slam. We have two minutes to answer 20 basic facts questions. If we can answer all of them in less then a minute five times in a row we get to move to the next level. Here is my basic facts slam page.
WALT Make our bodies into shapes and perform rolls
In PE this term we have been doing gymnastics, we have been learning to make our bodies into shapes like the pike, straddle, straight, and tuck. We have also been learning to do the rolls - pencil, hedgehog, elephant and forward.
Out next step is to put these together and make a sequence.
TEACHER COMMENT Some of these rolls can be very tricky it is great to see how hard we are all working at making the shapes and following instructions.
I am learning to describe a story. I will known I can do this when I can talk about the setting, characters and events and have an opinion about a story.
I am learning to compare two stories. I know I can do this when I can talk about things that are the same and different between two stories and say which I like better.
I am learning to talk about a story I have read. I know I can do this when I can talk about the characters, the setting, the events and say what I thought of the story.
