Tread Lightly

LI - to be aware of our environment

In Week 7, we had a special visit from Tread Lightly van. We have learned that plastic waste doesn’t degrade so we must learn how to sort our rubbish correctly. We also got a small seed that we will plant in our school planter box. I wonder what it will turn out to be!

Patterns

For maths, I am learning to recognise a pattern. A pattern repeats over and over again. It needs to stay the same. I have tried making my own pattern. Can you try and make my pattern longer?

My Writing Book

LI - to write some sounds I can hear in a sentence

In Room 2, I am learning to say a sentence and then write my sentence down. I am learning to use the alphabet card to find the sounds or the word I am using in my sentence. I am also learning that a sentence has a full stop and words need finger spaces between them. Here’s my amazing work!

Reading Eggs

LI - to log on Reading Eggs

I am learning to log on Reading Eggs by myself. I am using a card that has my username and password. I want to practice this at home also so I can get better. 

I know how to go on the activities on Reading Eggs map. I am learning the sounds and I collect Gold Eggs!

Welcome to Room 2!

This is my blog. There will be lots of learning going on this year in Room 2 and I am ready to learn. 

Shape Pictures

We are learning to recognise 2d shapes in every day life.

Room 0 have been busy exploring shapes in a range of different ways.  One activity we did was to choose a range of 2d shapes and put them together to create a picture.  By doing this nga tamariki are able to see how shapes can be seen all around us every day.

Finding the Root Word

We are learning to identify a root word.

In Reading we have been looking for root words and discussing different word endings we find in the book.  By practising this we are able to decode unknown words more effectively.

"I put a circle around the first word", said Elly.
