Reading punctuation!

I am learning to notice and identify punctuation marks when I am reading. 

"I can talk a little bit louder when I read an exclamation mark and a comma means I can take a break." 

Painted Paper Bouquets

LI: We are learning to mix and blend primary colours.

First we mixed primary colours together to make new colours then we

blended them together to paint our vase and petals. Next we used watercolours to paint our flowers and then we put it all together.

Measuring with our Gingerbread man

LI: We are learning to compare and measure the length of similar objects.

First we measured and made a gingerbread man out of cardboard. Next we had to build a bridge out of blocks and cardboard of different lengths that were long enough for him to cross.

"We made a tall bridge with different blocks. It was tricky to make it stay up."

Last but not least we made a Gingerbread man, 

decorated it and got to take him home to eat. Yum!

Sharing fairly

We have been looking at fractions like halves and quarters and I have been learning to share one whole object fairly between 2 and 4 friends. 

This can be tricky sometimes when I have to share one object with 4 people, 

so we practised how we could do this by cutting our dough ball and pizza's into 4 equal pieces.

"I can cut the playdough into 4 pieces and share it fairly."

My jellybean...

I am learning to use desribing words and add detail to my story writing.

"I just add more detail."

Identifying contractions

We are learning about contractions. This is when you take two words and shorten them or make them into one word.

"I can find contractions in my readers. They are two words that are joined together to make a smaller word."
