I am learning to count backwards to solve subtraction problems

"I am learning to do minus or takeaway. I am proud of myself for doing the easy one at the bottom (36-3) really fast because 6-3 is 3, that helped me solve the problem fast. I find it tricky to ones like the middle one."

I am learning to summarise information with the teacher’s help.

I will know I have been successful when:

• I can find the main ideas in the text
• I can identify the key words in the text

"I am learning to find the main bits of information. I am proud of myself for finding lots of information. I find it tricky to find only a few because there is lots of new information. "

I am learning to use describing words.

On Friday it was the big Elm Park School celebration. We went to the auditorium to celebrate the schools birthday. There was a party cake and lots of people talking. The people were wearing a beautiful crown. There was some party games.

"I like writing. I am proud of the words I used to describe the schools party. I am learning to use my brainstorm to help me spell my words correctly."
