Daffodil Diamante

I am learning to write a Diamante Poem 

• use interesting (WOW) words to describe Daffodils 
• use a graphic organiser to help me form my diamond poem

It was hard to spell the words but I could think about some words.  I needed help to spell them.  Ali  01.09.17

You did a great job with a little support Ali.  You chose some good words, I like growing, opening, blooming.  Just keep trying to record the sounds you can hear in order.

Reading to an Audience

I am learning to read to an audience using phrasing and expression.



Reflection:  I still get stuck on some words.  I think I did the first page really good.  Ali 30.08.17

Well done Ali, you did really well with the first two pages.  It helps you to read the text through in your mind first so that you can scan the line.  Check those sounds carefully and think about what the words might be as you go.

Geometry: Learning to Classify 3D Shapes

I am learning to sort, group, name and describe 3D shapes using my own words and the language of geometry




Reflection:  It was a bit hard to count the faces and the edges.  It was easy to name the shapes but I had to look at the list to spell them.  I used the shapes to help me count.  Ali  21.08.17

Ali, you did a great job especially having your tonsils out during this study.  Well done you've used great problem-solving skills and shown amazing resilience.
