WALT identify the author and the illustrator in the text

WALT identify the author and the illustrator in the text.

Room 4 has been using all of our reading skills this year, ready for Year 2. Every week we have a new 'test'
about different parts of the book. We have been searching for full stops, exclamation marks, question marks
and commas. This week we are focusing on finding the author and the illustrator. We all had a turn to come up
and point to where the illustrators name is. Miss Donnell tried to trick some of us and changed the pages!

'I know the illustrator is the person who draws the pictures for the story.'

WALT identify NZ notes and coins

WALT identify NZ notes and coins.

We had Captain Cash from ASB come to visit Room 4.
We learnt lots about saving money, spending money and
sharing money.

Miss Donnell decided to test us and see if we remembered how to sort out the coins and notes from biggest to smallest.

Look at my sorting success!

Our Writing Successes

      

WALT reflect on our 2018 writing.

We looked in our writing books at the first piece of writing
we did this year and the most recent piece of writing.
We talked about what had changed in our writing,
what we have learnt so far and are excited
to learn next year in Year 2.

Something I have learnt in writing this year is how to put a capital letter at the start of a sentence.

Something I am proud of in writing this year is my pictures match my words.

Wearable Art Show 2018

WALT create a wearable piece of artwork.

Our art focus over Term 2 and 3 has been creating a piece of
art we can wear. Miss Donnell introduced us to a song in The Little Mermaid called 'Under the Sea' which was the focus of our art work.

We created our artwork by sketching sea animals in our books and tracing them onto laminated sheets. We coloured them in and created patterns using vivids. Miss Donnell glued them on to tutus and t-shirts for us to wear.

Check out my awesome art piece!

WALT tell time to the hour and half hour using analogue clocks. Room 4 have been learning about measurement this term and our focus has been on time. We have been learning about lots of forms of time, from days of the week to ages of people. We have made our own clocks that can tell different times of the day that are important to us.

'My time is 3 o'clock because I can go home. I like moving the hands on the clock.'

WALT explore and share ideas about music from a range of sound environments

WALT explore and share ideas about
music from a range of sound
environments.

Room 4 were lucky enough to have Mrs D come 

into the classroom to teach a music lesson 

about sound. First we made different sounds 

using our bodies, like clapping our hands and 

stamping our feet. 

Then we played a follow the leader game where

everyone had to make a different sound and we

all had to copy them. It was so much fun! 

'I love doing music with Mrs D. I made lots of different patterns!'

WALT know our alphabet sounds.

WALT identify 2D and 3D shapes

WALT identify 2D and 3D shapes.

This term Room 4 have been learning about
shapes. We have been learning about how to
sort shapes and what different shapes look like.

Miss Donnell took us outside to test our knowledge
on what shapes we know. She gave us some
chalk to try and draw the shapes we knew. Then
she said shapes out loud like rectangle, triangle,
a shape with 3 sides and we had to try and draw
them!
