I am Learning to Use Capital Letters and Full Stops

I am learning to use capital letters correctly:
I use a capital letter at the beginning of a sentence.
I use a capital letter for the word ‘I.’
I use a capital letter for names of things.

I am learning to use full stops correctly:
I use a full stop at the end of a sentence.


I am six years old. My colour is red. I love my mum is beautiful. I love my dad.

My Reflection

I am proud of how I put full stops in the right places.
It can be tricky to sound out the words and knowing where to put the capital letters.
Next time I could use more finger spaces.

I am Learning to Float with an Aid

Room 8 has been visiting the school pool on Mondays, Tuesdays and Fridays. We have been learning to be safe in the water and using this time to gain confidence and to enjoy being in the water.

To be able to float in the water with an aid I must be able to:

- feel comfortable getting my face and hair wet
- use a pool noodle correctly (under my armpits)
- keep my feet off of the ground



My Reflection
I am proud of how I can float on my back with the noodle.
It can be tricky to swim on my back without the noodle
I like being in the water because it is cold and then it turns warm.

I am Learning to Read a Bar Graph and Answer Questions

I am learning to read a bar graph and answer questions

I need to:
*read the question
*read the data (information) on the graph
*identify the lowest (fewest) and highest (most) bars
*read the quantities
*compare the data on the graph
*answer questions about the data (information) on the graph



My Reflection

I am proud of how I could see which bars were bigger and smaller.
It can be tricky to read their names and to tell what number the bars line up with.
Next time I can ask my teacher for help.

I am Learning to Make Rhyming Strings


I am in Meeko group for reading. We have been learning to make rhyming strings to help us read new words.

I need to:
- Think of words that have the same end sound.
- Think of words that make sense.



My Reflection

I am proud of how I thought up my own rhyming words.
It is easy to read rhyming words because they all end the same.
It can be tricky to read rhyming words when they sound the same but are spelt differently.
