Wonderful writing

At writing time we are learning to experiment with new types of punctuation. We are starting to read our stories back and check we have fullstops and capital letters in the correct places.

"I can do smaller writing now. I can write a lot. I like writing a lot. "

Reading

I am learning to use all my strategies independently. I am able to read the book independently and I can find the main ideas in the text.

" I can read faster because I am reading carefully" said Noah

Rocket ship

We have been learning about the solar system this term.  We made a rocket with paper and a straw then blew through the straw to see how far our rocket would travel.  

Measuring Fun

During Maths Week we did Pirate Maths! One of the activities was to learn to use different non-standard units for measuring with. We were learning to have an accurate starting and finishing point when we measured.

"We are making a pirate ship with string and chalk. I am good at maths."

I'm on Phonics Fire!

Phonics lessons are a very important part of our Writing programme.

As I get more confident I try tricker things. In this photo I listened to a dictated sentence and then tried to write down what I heard and put in the correct punctuation. 

"I need to do finger spaces in all of my sentence next time."

Contractions

I am learning to recognise contractions. I know that contractions have apostrophes to replace missing letters.

" A contraction is two words joined together and one or two or three pop out and a mark is left to say that the letters are not there."  said Noah
