Writing using our senses

"We talked about being at the beach. I can use my ears and eyes to help me write interesting words." said Liam.

We are learning to know alphabet letters

"Today I used Miss Lal's laptop to play a word game. I know some letters and I matched them to the pictures with Miss Lal." said Liam.

We are learning to read o'clock time

"I can read 12 o'clock on the clock and find a matching card. The hands are pointing at the top." said Liam. 

Art Exhibition 2017 - Winter Trees

Our artwork is inspired by the Waiting Tree in the Junior playground. We all play around this tree. This art is a combination of paint, pastel and collage.

"It was tricky sketching branches on the tree." said Liam.

We are learning to make a key holder

Thursday 24th August was such a special day! Mrs Ludlam came over from Bunnings Botany and helped us make key holders and photo boxes. We had teachers and some helpers who helped us use screws, little hammers, glue and nails. Then we got to decorate it with pebbles, shells and paint.

"It was tricky to put the screws in the wood but I tried." said Liam.

We are learning to read numbers to 5, then to 10

I can count to 5 and try to put numbers in order. Watch me count in the video!

"I can count to 5 by myself." said Liam.

We are learning to make the first sound in new words

When I am reading and I see a new word, I can get my mouth ready to make the first sound.

"I am learning my sounds so I can make the first sound in new words." said Liam. 

We are learning to sequence our ideas

In class, we were talking about our morning and afternoon routines at home. I wrote a story about what I do in my day, from when I wake up to when I go to sleep in the night.

"I can talk about what I do in the morning and after school." said Liam. 

We are learning to describe what a celebration is

We had a school party to celebrate Elm Park School's 50th Birthday!
Students, teachers and families met in the Auditorium and the teachers played games like musical chairs. Then we came back into our classrooms to have activities and play games.

Here I am decorating biscuits in Room 6 with Mrs Tetupu. We used icing and lollies to create different shapes and patterns.

We got to wear our crowns we made with Miss Lal! It was so much fun playing games and winning prizes.

We are learning how to read back our writing

After writing time, we sit in a sharing circle. Here I am sharing my story with Ting Hui. 

"My story is I eat chips. I finger point under my words when I read." said Liam. 

We are learning to read in the correct direction

Here I am reading a book called I can, can you?
"I finger-point under the words." said Liam. 

We are learning to read numbers to 5

Here I am writing some numbers on my whiteboard during a group session.
"I know that number 1 comes before number 2. 3 comes after." said Liam.
