Patterns to 5

I am learning to make and recognise patterns to 5.

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 Zahra

Wonderful writing

At writing time we are learning to write all the sounds we can hear in words. This means we listen for the beginning , middle and end sounds.

"I am big and I write good now."

First and last sounds

I am able to look at the first and last sounds in words to help me work out new words. Here I am looking at a picture and writing the sounds.

"I can robot words to help me" said Zahra

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.  

Measuring Challenges

We were learning to compare similar objects that differ only in length.

 We were experimenting with learning to measure with non-standard units. 

We were learning to have an accurate starting and finishing point when we measured and use measuring language. 

"I can measure the book. I have to remember put the pen at the top and move it again."'

Phonics Time

Phonics lessons are a very important part of our Writing programme. In this photo I am learning to hear and record the middle sound in words. When I recognise the pattern, I can write lots of words.
