Fun and Games at Elm Park's 50th Birthday Party

Learning about Place Value using hundreds, tens and ones

I am learning to:

• read, say, and make two and 3 digit numbers using place value equipment

Reflection:  I can show the numbers using the equipment,  I could learn to do some adding with bigger numbers  - Ali  07.06.17

Well done Ali.  you managed this task well.  You are able to say the numbers and recognise 0 as a placeholder.  Mrs Templeton  07.06.17 

Learning to recognise digraphs, blends, base words and endings to help me read.

I have been learning to...

• recognise digraphs and blends
• recognise base words and endings

Choosing words to add interest to my Writing

I am learning to choose words to add interest to my Writing

I liked the words amazing and wonderful.  I think I could have chosen some other words too.
I needed help me check my spelling.  Ali  22.05.17

Well done Ali, you tried hard with this.  You chose a range of words to describe your mum. 
Its really good to share ideas in brainstorms to help us create a word bank of 'WOW words.

Learning to Plan my Writing

I am learning to use a plan to organise my ideas for writing.

I will be successful when:

• I can plan my ideas before I write
• I can use quick pictures and words
• my writing shows the ideas and details from my plan

After I plan, I can get help to sound the tricky words before I start writing my story.

I found raced, rest, food, and sponge tricky.  I found it hard to write a story day by day. 

Ali  10.04.17

A good start Ali.  Planning will really help you to see the words you will find very tricky to spell and sound.  You show resilience when you ask for help to do this.  Your plan shows three different ideas that you can add details to in your story about fun at the Tip Top Fun Day.  Mrs Templeton  10.04.17

Learning to identify sounds in words to help my reading

I am learning to:

• identify phonic sounds and letters
• use Reading Eggs to help me learn a range of sounds in words
• recognise beginning, end and medial vowel sounds in three letter words

I am learning to write the sounds, I kept the middle and changed the beginning and the end. I learned different words.  This activity was easy for me.  I find it tricky to sound a and u.

Well done Ali. 'a' is tricky because we say it differently for the word 'a' which you think of from reading.  Think of the 'a' as a as in CAT  and 'u' as in CUT.

Statistics: Learning to sort, count, display and make statements about the information

I have been learning to: 

• sort objects into categories for display and make a class pictograph with support
• discuss the results and make statements

I have been learning to count how high blocks went.  It was tricky when it went in the middle.  I had to think about the number that came before.  Ali  28.03.17

Well done Ali, I like the way you asked for help when you needed it to work out what 
the totals were.  Keep trying to talk about the data and describe what the information is telling you e.g. on Mathletics.   Mrs Templeton  28.03.17
