I am Learning to Identify 2D and 3D Shapes.

In Room 8 we have been learning about Geometry. We have looked at different 2D and 3D shapes and their different parts. We learned that shapes have different numbers of sides, faces, edges and corners of vertices.

We had a lot of fun making monsters out of different shapes!

I have a monster. It likes to play with my toys. It is an octogon. It likes to eat cake.

My Reflection
I like my shape monster. She looks cute but I tried to make her look a little bit scary.
She is an octagon and if she was 3D she would be an octagonal prism.
I found geometry hard because I haven't learned it before.

I am Learning to Recognise and Read Long Vowel Sounds and Silent e.

I am in Thumper group for reading. We have been learning about silent e and how it changes vowels to make a long vowel sound.

Success Criteria:

- Read words without silent e correctly.

- Read words with the addition of silent e correctly.

- Understand that silent e changes the sound of the vowel.

My Reflection

I think that it was a little bit tricky to read the words without the silent e.

It is tricky because I am used to reading it the normal way with the e, they were not real words without the silent e.

I am proud of how I read most of the words right.

I am Learning to Try My Best.

I participated in the Junior Cross Country. We have been practicing every Tuesday and Thursday this term. I came in 3rd place!

I am Learning to Write a Cinquain Poem.

In Room 8 we have been learning how to write a cinquain poem. These poems have a special order that the words have to be put in. We have practiced writing cinquains in our writing books and published our most recent poems on Spring.

Success Criteria:

- All words must relate to the topic.

- The second line must contain two adjectives.

- The third line must contain three verbs with an -ing ending.

- The fourth line must be a four word sentence about Spring.

Spring

Fun, hot

Playing, running, swirling

The baby animals run

Lovely

My Reflection

I think that my poem is good because I wrote about the animals.

I think that cinquain poems are really hard to write because it is hard to think of the words.

I learned about adjectives and verbs.
