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.

I Am Learning About the Numbers 10 - 20.

Mrs Kerr tells us which number we are making.  Today we are making 14.  I can get 14 beans and put them on my whiteboard. Then I write the number 14.  Next Mrs Kerr says to move some away.  I have moved 4 away and there are 10 in the big group and 4 in the little group.  I can write the number sentence 10 + 4 = 14.

"I like to write the number 14 on my whiteboard because number 14 is tricky.  Next I am going to make 14 with the beads on the string.  I am going to do 14 yellow and then 14 red."

My Beeswax Candle.

My Mothers' Day Card.

First I did the writing inside the card to Mum.  Next I decorated the whole card with the felt pens.  Mrs Kerr put the glue on the handle and I had to shake and shake and shake the glitter on.  At the end I put the first letter of my name.  I put the letter 'K.'  My card looks beautiful and my mum will be proud.

I Can Read Some Rhyming Words.

"I can read, 'he, me, we, see, she.'  They are rhyming words.  They are the same sound.  Mum is helping me to learn my words at my house.  She just helps me, not my cousin.  I can read hard books now."
