Reading out loud

We are learning to read familiar poems out loud. We are trying to read with fluency and expression. As we get more confident, we can pay attention to the author's punctuation to help our reading sound more interesting.

"I can sound out words I don't know when I read out loud. I can read loudly so everyone can hear" said Macy.

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 have learnt to make bigger stories and I can go over the page! I can do 8 sentences and I can sound them out better now."

Reading and writing words

I am learning to write as many words independently in 10 minutes so that I will become more confident with my Reading and writing.

"I can read now because I can robot the words." said Macy

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.  

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 remember to do some finger spaces and a full stop next time." 

Measuring Challenge

We were learning to compare similar objects that differ only in length. We were experimenting measuring with non-standard units. We were learning to have an accurate starting and finishing point when we measured and use measuring language. 

"It was hard to measure the deck and I kept forgetting what number I was up too. "

Compound words.

I am learning to recognise and read compound words. I know that compound words are made of two little words.

"A compound word is 2 little words joined together to make one big word." said Macy
