Writing on the whiteboard

What amazing independent story writing you did today Suri.  Great story with all that punctuation.  We are proud of you.

Subtraction using number lines

I am learning to use a number line to help solve subtraction problems to 20.

"I can count backwards to work out subtraction problems.  I put the biggest number first.
Sometimes I can do it in my head" said Suri

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 Suri

Wonderful writing

At writing time we are learning to experiment with new types of punctuation, such as commas and speech marks.

"I can do the spelling now. I can do capital letters and fullstops."
