Fun at PMP

Here you are trying out the launch board. You are strengthening your ankle and learning to control your muscles.

Chiara says:  I like being a dragon at PMP.  I stomp on the mat.

Basic sight words

These are some of the basic sight words you are learning. It is important to look at the first and last sounds of the word to help you read them.

Chiara says:  I have learnt some new words.  I think I need to keep practising my alphabet sounds.

Counting with frogs.

"I knocked down the frogs and I had to count them."

Term 2 Writing

I have been writing lots of stories at school.  I can draw a picture for my brainstorm and then I use my alphabet card to help me find words and sounds that I need to write my sentence.

Chiara says:  I am good at drawing my picture for my brainstorm.  I need to practise writing the sounds I can hear.

Self Portrait

First we had to draw what we thought we looked like. Then we talked about the shape of our face and where all the parts on our head went. We had to think carefully about all the little bits, like the shapes of our eyes and what our eyebrows looked like. We had to really concentrate and think about how to draw the lines for our faces.

Term 1 writing sample

I am learning to:
-use a plan for my writing
-write and use a range of simple words using my phonic knowledge
-read as I write to make sure my writing makes sense.

I know I am successful when:
-my picture illustrates my writing
-I try words on my own
-I have read my writing and it makes sense.

Chiara said," I have to learn to do my words. I got to do the sounds. I am good at the pictures. I could go to Art school."

Term 1 Reading

We have been learning how to read books in our classroom.  We know that we need to point to the words when we read and we can look at the pictures to help us work out what some words say.  Here is a video of me reading.

W.A.L.T read basic sentences.

Success Criteria:  I can recognise some basic high frequency words.

                                I can point to the words when I read.

                               I can use the picture in the story to help me read words I don't know.
