Group Box Avtivities

I am learning to choose an activity to play and explain the rules.

Justin "The Alphabet puzzle. We put the card in order of the alphabet puzzle. It is easy that is why I like it"

What's The Time Mr Wolf?

I am learning to tell the time by knowing the different parts of an analog clock.

Justin "The short hand is about the numbers. The long hand is o’clock."

Acrostic Poem

I am learning to write an Acrostic poem by using describing words.

Lots of legs

A lot of antennas

Detailed spots

Yucky

Big black spots

Under leaves

Great smooth back.

Justin "Describing words are the special words that are very cool words. I used the words big, lots, yucky, detailed and great smooth back to describe a Ladybug."

Collage Ladybug

Here we sketched ladybugs onto black paper. Then we cut out the ladybugs and leaves. We added spots and strips to add detail to our ladybugs and leaves. It was very time consuming when it came to gluing all the pieces together, but we done it!

Justin "I like the leaves because I like the stripes on it. It was hard to give the leaves a hair cut. I would change the little leaves to big leaves. It was easy to do the ladybug.

Memorable Moment

I am learning to write about a funny moment.

Justin" I was it easy to come up with this funny moment because I like writing about funny things and I like writing about my family. I found it hard to spell the words like: with, Grandpa, Uncle and laughs."

Maths Game

 This is one of my favourite maths games to play during           maths tumble.

Justin "I like doing this activity because I like numbers. On this puzzle is the number three, you have to pick it up and put on the floor. We can't do it like scribbling like zig zags."

St John Ambulance

Last week St John Ambulance came to our school. Mac the Paramedic showed us what an emergency looks like and when we should call 111.   

We were allowed to have a turn with the oxygen mask. This helps people in an event of an emergency when people are not well and are short of breathe.

Reading Eggs

Reading Eggs is an online reading program that helps children learn to read. Hundreds of online reading lessons, phonics games and books to read.

Justin " I like reading books because it has beautiful pictures.It helps me write words."

Bubble Wands

This week Room 5 made bubble wands.  They wanted to see if different shaped wands made different shaped bubbles.

We discovered that no matter what shape the bubble wands were, the bubble will always come out in the shape of a sphere.

Sunshine Online Reading

Sunshine Online Reading

During our Reading rotation we get the chance to read other books and do activities that are suited to our reading level.

What I like about the story is how the animals makes their sound like baa, moo, quack and woof I like their sounds because they sound funny.  I like reading and listening on the laptop. Justin

ICT Tagul - Word Cloud

The ratty tatty cat scratched on the chair and he scratched on the floor.

At Elm Park School we have buddy classes, where a junior class is buddied up with a senior class. Room 5’s buddy class is Room 24 with Miss Hughes.

Room 5 was fortunate to have their buddy class help them do a word cloud on the laptop called Tagul.

With the help of our buddy class we were able to come up with our own word cloud that was related to the Big book Ratty Tatty Cat.

Check out what I wrote and designed.

Justin "I thought it was very good because I liked the story. I found it hard do this but I felt excited because I liked that cat"

We read the big book Shoo Fly. Here is my writing about the book.

Justin "It was good writing about this because I like to write stories"

Look what I can do all by myself.
