Addition.

I went on the ipad and found a new maths game.  I have to look at the numbers and figure out the right answer.  There are 3 different answers and I have to press the star with the right number inside, and then it goes up beside the number sentence and it looks right.

"My question is 4 + 3 = 7.  It is easy for me because I can think in my head.  Next time I would like to try level 4 but I don't think it will be harder."

When I Grow Up ...

I wrote my story in my book.  I checked with Mrs Kerr.  She helped me import my photo into kidpix.  I typed the words by myself.  It took a long, long, long time.  It's tricky to type the right letter.  I decorated my photo so that it looks like me when I am grown up. 

"I am learning to write about when I am grown up.  It's tricky because I need to think of the words.  I am happy with my picture because I look like a pirate and I am bad!"

I Read My Book and I Can Answer Some Questions.

At reading time we can read a book with Mrs Kerr and then we can look at the same book on the computer and we can do some activities with the letters and words.  It's called P.M. Readers.

"I read the book, Baby Bear Climbs a Tree.  I go on the laptop.  I play a game and I got 3 golden cats.  I got 1 grey cat because I did 1 wrong.  Next time I do another game and I will get 4 golden cats and I will feel happy."

I Used Shapes To Make A Picture Of My House.

I am learning about shapes like the circle, triangle, diamond, rectangle, square, hexagon, octagon, pentagon, cube and the trapezoid.  Trapezoid is a cool word and a cool shape.  I chose some shapes and I cut them out of coloured paper.  I glued them onto my paper to make a picture of my house.  We put them all together on the wall to make our Room 1 community.

"I used some circles, squares, triangles and 1 oval to make my picture.  My favourite part is the house because it has a red triangle roof like my house.  My picture looks big."

I Can Publish My Best Writing.

Every day I write a story.  I can choose my best story for publishing with Mrs Kerr. Usually my best story goes into my publishing book and I can illustrate it on Friday. Sometimes I write a big, amazing, beautiful,  awesome story.  This story is about a cold, cold day.  I cut out shapes in some paper to make a snowflake.  Now my story and my snowflake are up on the windows in Room 1.  I have seen people reading my story.  That makes me want to do the happy dance!

"I like writing stories about the cold day in the winter.  I can find the words by myself. Sometimes Mrs Kerr helps me and I can write the words.  I am learning to fix my story.  I have to read it again and I have to change the capital letters.  Then my story looks better."

I Am At PMP.

I go to PMP (Perceptual Motor Programme) with Mrs Murray.  She puts the music on and I do lots of activities. I dance, I hop, I jump, I slide and I freeze.  Sometimes I use equipment and sometimes I do not.  This is called the Dizzy Giddy.  I have to move my body to spin the Dizzy Giddy around.  It feels fast and dizzy.  I love PMP because I can move my body around.

Our Community Library in Pakuranga.

I went to the Pakuranga Library on the bus.  The library people read some books about Matariki.  They did a little play and the sun got caught in a net and it was funny.  After that we looked around the whole library.  There were lots and lots and lots of books.  Mrs Murray let us issue 3 books with her library card.  I was happy!

When I came back to school I could make a necklace.  First I coloured it in and then I cut it out.  Mrs Kerr put a string through the hole and I put it around my neck and took it home.
