I know how to write the letter u by making a cup shape and then a short stick.

I know the sound letter u makes and a word that begins with letter u

Reading Term 2

I am learning to find words that I know before I start reading.

Scanning the page for these words helps us to self correct our reading.

Jamie: I know the word 'I'.

Letters

I am learning all the sounds of the letters in the alphabet and how to form them correctly. Here I have made a letter 'h' out of playdough.

Well done Jamie you are working so hard on learning all of the letters!

Writing numbers - Term 2

I am learning to write the numbers 6,7,8,9 and 10 correctly. 

I am learning to count objects up to 10.

Probability - Maths Term 2

We have been learning to use everyday language to talk about the chance of something happening. We have read lots of different fairy tales and talked about things we 'will' see, 'might' see and 'won't' see. We also learnt other words like maybe, could, definitely, probably, certainly, perhaps, never, always, possible and impossible.

Our final challenge was to work with a buddy to draw pictures that we 'will' see, 'might' see and 'won't' see in a fairy tale of our choice. We had to work together to decide by listening to each other. Here is a photo of our final drawings and where we decided the pictures belonged.

Laisa and Jamie:

Great thinking Jamie! You have done well and forming your letters by yourself.
