I am learning to recognise patterns for numbers 1-5 instantly.

"I learnt that 3+2=5 and 4+1=5, and I learnt to do three different colours to show what equals five.  It was easy to put 3+2=5.  Mrs Wyatt and my friends help me sometimes to do Maths."

I am learning to retell what I have read.

"I know how to read, and say what happens in the beginning and the end, and the middle of the story. I am good at turning the pages.  It is hard to read really big, long words.  Mrs Wyatt helps me read the big, long words."

I am learning to write words with vowels as the middle sound.

Tapa Design for the Art Exhibition

Whole Class Reflection – Art

Learning: “I learnt how to draw patterns.”   “I learnt to not put too much dye on the cotton bud.”.  “I learnt about tapa from Samoa, Tonga and the Cook Islands.”

Tricky: “Drawing some patterns was tricky.”  “The dying – had to be very careful.” “Keeping the vivid on the pencil lines.”

Proud: “The dye looked beautiful and I was proud of that.”   “I was proud of my patterns.”

Help: “I needed help to dye some parts of the panels, drawing over the pencil lines with vivid, putting the right cotton bud in the right container, knowing about different patterns.”

Next: “I want to learn more patterns.”   “I want to know more about the Cook Islands, Tonga and tapa.”  “I want to use vivids more in the classroom.”  “I want to learn more about drawing.”

I am learning to choose words to make my writing interesting.

"It is tricky to colour in the gaps of my picture. It is tricky to write the words that are big.  I love to sound out the words.  Mrs Wyatt and my friends sometimes help me with my writing."
