We had to tell about ourselves. I had to think about me and what I look like. Then write down the words and they are the clues. We put them into a book so that other people can read them. They have to think about what person it might be. It is mystery to solve!!
At Maths time I was learning to tell the time on a clock or a watch or a phone or on the ipad. On this clock here, the big hand is on the 12, and the little hand is also on the 12. This means it is 12 o'clock. If I change the little hand and it points to 11, then it would 11 o'clock. If I change the big hand to the 6, it would be half past 11. At first it was tricky to learn the time, but now I am used to it and it is easy for me.
I do Reading eggs at school and not at home because I don't know how to at home. I had to press on the c for cat and then it will show you another picture, and you have to press on the first letter again. Next I would like to try it at my house.
We are learning to read and write new words by thinking about the end sounds of the words. I had a little walk in the room and then I put these words on the laptop. It was easy for me because I spelled all these words by myself. Next time I would like to do an x and a v at the end.
On Friday the 3rd of August, some Japanese homestay students visited us from Botany College. We chatted to them first, took them for a tour around our school, and then they helped us to fold some Origami. My buddy helped me to make a plane, a heart and a rose.
We are learning about shapes like circles, triangles, ovals, rectangles and squares. I made an alien spaceship and I used all of them but not a square. It was tricky because the cutting was tricky, sometimes I don't get the right shape. It is a different shape. And the glueing is tricky because a little bit went on my hand. Next time I would make the sun.
On Monday the 25th of June, Room 1 visited the Stardome. We looked at planets and stars and space suits. Here I am as an astronaut flying to the moooooooon!
When we came back to school we had to write a story about our trip. Mrs Kerr let us choose some shapes in Tagul and then we had to import our words. We could change the colours. We printed them out and put them up on our space wall. We think they look super AMAZING. Here is my one.
We have to match which number it is. Count the fish and then press the right number. When there's a check, then you got it right. I just play on Mathletics at school.
I am learning to use the Ipad to read a QR code. I can choose a book cover. I scan the QR code and then the story comes up on Youtube. It can be tricky to scan some of the books. I enjoy it because I can listen to the story and I can watch it at the same time. I chose this book called Superworm.
I know all my alphabet letters now but I am still learning all my words. I learn them at home and I learn them at school. I am getting better and better and soon I can read books about Harry Potter or Minions or Butterflies or even something different.
First we draw a picture from our memory. Then we draw with the teacher, doing it very slowly. We have to draw lines like zigzags, curves, circles and lines. When our work is amazing, the teacher makes it bigger on the photocopier. Then we can colour it in but we still have to BE VERY CAREFUL! Here is our beautiful, super work from Term 1!
I have to look at the number on the astronaut and then match it with the rocket that has the same number of stars. It's tricky to count all of the stars because sometimes it has 8 stars but when you check again there are 7 stars. They have to be the same.
