Choosing words to add interest to my Writing

I am learning to choose words to add interest to my Writing

Welcome to Autumn

Autumn leaves fell all over Elm Park School. This gave us a great idea. We used Kidpix to make our own leaves and illustrate our awesome autumn writing.

Learning about the plot, setting and characters in a story

I am learning to...

• discuss the plot, 
• explain the setting
• describe the characters

Learning to Plan my Writing

I am learning to use a plan to organise my ideas for writing.

I will be successful when:

• I plan my ideas before I write
• I use quick pictures and words
• I think of first, after, next
• my writing includes the ideas from my plan

I think I can do it.  I could think of the ideas and write them.  I just used words.  Tsung Wai 10.04.17

A great beginning to planning.  I like the way you used quick pictures and words. This will help you write longer and more interesting stories over several days.  Mrs Templeton

Learning to identify phonic letters and sounds within words

This term I have been learning to:

• identify phonic letters and sounds within words
• identify high frequency sight words 
• use Reading Eggs to help me learn to identify sounds 

I was learning to spin the wheel to match the items and look carefully 
to find the words to match it.  It helped me to read words.  In my reading
I'd like to "read and then do a quiz and try to remember stuff it was"

Tsung Wai, you show great resilience when you reflect on your learning and think
of your next steps.  Well done.   Mrs Templeton  30.03.17

Statistics: Learning to sort, count, display and make statements about the information

I have been learning to: 

• sort objects into categories for display and make a class pictograph with support
• discuss the results and make statements

I learned about who had more or less, like who was using more stuff.
I tried my best and made things for the class pictographs.  I liked the colour graph with flowers, the favourite colour was blue.  Tsung Wai  30.03.17

Well done Tsung Wai, I like the way you are beginning to reflect on your learning.  You have done well to work out who has more or less but working out the differences was more tricky.

Water Safety: Learning to be safe and confident in and around water.

I am learning to be safe and confident in and around water.

This term I have been learning to move safely through the water:  walking and   
holding on to a noodle.
