Group Box Activities

I am learning to choose an activity to play and explain the rules.

Raymond “I played the Whale Watching game and in the game you need to find some cards and they show you a picture. The beginning sound of the picture you need to look for the beginning sound on the whale. On the whale there are letters that you need to match.”

What's The Time Mr Wolf?

I am learning to tell the time by knowing the different parts of an analog clock.

 

Raymond "The little hand tells the time. The long hand tells the minutes."

Acrostic Poem

I am learning to write an Acrostic poem by using describing words.

Little eyes

Antennas

Dark eyes

Yummy leaves

Blue ladybug

Under leaves

Great smooth back

Raymond "I liked the Y sentence that I used. It was kind of easy to write a Acrostic poem. "

Ladybug Collage

Here we sketched ladybugs onto black paper. Then we cut out the ladybugs and leaves. We added spots and strips to add detail to our ladybugs and leaves. It was very time consuming when it came to gluing all the pieces together, but we done it!

Memorable Moment

I am learning to write about a funny moment.

Raymond "It took a short time to think of a funny moment because I already knew when I had a funny moment. It's hard to write hard words like the word: from and moved." 

Maths Game

This is one of my favourite maths games to play during maths tumble.

Raymond "I like this game because I like to win sometimes and it is really tricky. The most right things you do on there you win. You are adding numbers together to win. It's a two player game"

Reading Eggs

Reading Eggs is an online reading program that helps children learn to read. Hundreds of online reading lessons, phonics games and books to read.

Raymond " What I like about reading eggs is that there are games on there and I like the different levels and the different places in the levels, is different. I like the books because you get eggs when you read it really good. In the lesson above you have to find the 6 letters and when you find the six letters, the letters get big until you finish it and then they give you golden eggs too."

Bubble Wands

This week Room 5 made bubble wands.  They wanted to see if different shaped wands made different shaped bubbles.

We discovered that no matter what shape the bubble wands were, the bubble will always come out in the shape of a sphere.

ICT Tagul - Word Cloud

Ratty tatty cat sniffed in boxes and tins.

At Elm Park School we have buddy classes, where a junior class is buddied up with a senior class. Room 5’s buddy class is Room 24 with Miss Hughes.

Room 5 was fortunate to have their buddy class help them do a word cloud on the laptop called Tagul.

With the help of our buddy class we were able to come up with our own word cloud that was related to the Big book Ratty Tatty Cat.

Check out what I wrote and designed.

"It felt pretty fun because the fun part was picking the cat and choosing the colour" Raymond

Big Book Writing Response

We read the big book Shoo Fly. Here is my writing about the book.

Raymond "It was a little bit hard to do some words but some words were easy"

In Room 5 we are learning to write independently. 

Look what I can do all by myself.

In room 5 we have been learning to write the numbers around the right way. Look what I can do.

I Am Swimming

I am learning to float with the kick board.

What Makes A Good Reader?

What makes a good reader?

Raymond says: "don't break the pages. When you don't know the word you need to sound out the word. When you really don't know the word you can do it again."
