What's been happening in our class?

It may be a short week this week but still just as busy.  Check us out doing our sight words and phonics.  We have been concentrating really hard to write our letters correctly, starting from the top and following through with the letter shape.  Also working really hard on placing our letters in the correct place when writing in our fabulous new books!!  

We have had lots of fun making words using magnetic letters.  We used A and T together for our ending and made lots of words by changing the first consonant. 

Eg: AT

C + AT= CAT

R+AT= RAT

M+AT=MAT

S+AT=SAT

We make sure that we are always practicing our sight words by saying them, writing them, recognising them around the room , in books or by playing fun games that help us to remember them.

Maths

We have had LOADS of fun in Maths sorting and organising.  We have been sorting by colour, size, shape and object.

We practice our counting everyday.  We count to 100, skip count in twos, fives and tens.  We count forwards and backwards and do our daily calendar where we talk about the date, months, days of the week and how many days in school we have had.  We also have a daily problem which we pick - it can be counting, data, sorting or measuring.

Look at all the counting we have been doing

Unit of Inquiry

We worked in pairs and graphed information about ourselves.  We then compared the information and figured out all the things that we had in common. It was really interesting seeing the things that we had the same.

Then we shared them with everyone!

We also sorted out pictures of people being good friends and people not being good friends.  We talked about what the people were doing to make us think this.  It was really interesting listening to all the ideas that the children had. We wrote down all the things the children said.  Take a look!

Have a great long weekend everyone and see you on Tuesday!!
