Maths Term One

I am learning to solve simple addition problems up to 20.

I find it easy to do my adding because I drew the shapes.

Reading Term One

I am learning reread the sentence when it doesn't make sense.

I like it when some words are easy. Sometimes it is tricky and I try to skip some words.

Writing Term One

My Dad went to the airport. I was sad.

I am learning to underline my try words.

I like writing because I like telling people what you are doing. I find it hard to spell the words and remember to underline the words.

Self-Portrait

I have been learning how to draw my self-portrait. First Mrs Scott came to show us how to sketch our face. We sketched our face shape first. Then we drew our guidelines to help us remember where our eyes, nose, mouth and ears went. We practised using a whispering pencil and a shouting pencil. Our first sketch looked a bit funny so we tried again. This time we used a photo of us to help us. We had to start all over again! Miss Radue then helped us rub out all the whispering pencil guidelines and photocopied our sketches so they were bigger. We had to go around our sketch with vivid and then we used pastel to colour in our self-portraits. It was hard work but we had a lot of fun!

Room 7's Botanic Garden Trip

Room 7 went to the Auckland Botanic Gardens on the 17th November, 2015.

We learnt how compost is made naturally using FBI - Fungus, Bacteria and Invertebrate and how to make our own worm farm and compost bin.

We were very tired at the end but we had an amazing day!

This term I have been learning to use punctuation such as full stops, comma's and speechmarks and write more than one idea with details related to the topic.
