Skip counting in 2's

I am learning to skip count in 2's. I had to put the counters on all the 2's. I am proud of my counting. I am learning to skip count so I can count quickly. It is tricky to skip count when I get to bigger numbers. Next, I could learn to skip count in 5's or 10's. 

Kandinsky flowers

Room 4’s masterpieces are inspired by Kandinsky’s painting ‘Squares with Concentric Circles’. We really loved how Kandinsky experimented with the use of colour. Our paintings are our own experiments with colour and inspired by Kandinsky’s painting above. First, we had to choose our favourite primary colour to paint our background with. We then blended two primary colours at the top and bottom of the page to create a secondary colour and an interesting background for our own circles. If we used a warm background, we needed to try and use cooler colours for our circles. We really like our paintings because viewers can decide whether our circles are flowers in a field, balloons in the sky or lollipops in a shop!! We love using our imagination.

Describing words

I am learning to use describing words to make my story exciting. I am so proud that I can use describing words and that I am trying my best. I am proud that my story makes sense. It can be tricky to sound out describing words. The next steps for me might be to read my story again and add more describing words. I could look at pictures for ideas of describing words and read more poems and books.

I am learning about punctuation

Today we read the story 'Roller Coaster Ride' on Sunshine Online. After we had read the story we had to put the punctuation in the correct places.
