I am a Marble Maker

LI - to talk about my ideas

After reading the story ‘The Marble Maker’, Room 2 has made a beautiful marble using salad spinner and paint. We also talked about feelings and how we feel after making the piece of art. Did we feel proud? Do I love my marble? What does the colours make me feel?

LI - to write some sounds I can hear in a sentence

In Room 2, I am learning to say a sentence and then write my sentence down. I am learning to use the alphabet card to find the sounds or the word I am using in my sentence. I am also learning that a sentence has a full stop and words need finger spaces between them. Here’s my amazing work!

I am learning to use a word card

In Writing we have been learning to use our word card.  It has some words in the colourful boxes and these help us to write our story.  If we need to write a word that isn't on our card we can say the word slowly and write down the sounds we can hear instead.

"I can find the words and Mrs Tetupu helps me", said Jayriss.

I am learning to form my letters correctly
