The Year That Was!

Take a look at some of our special memories from Room 11's Class Of 2014!

I Am Learning To Describe A Character

We read the book Kipper’s Birthday. WALT describe the characters using evidence in the text. I thought it was easy to describe him.

I Am Learning To Dribble A Ball

This is a photo of me when I learnt to bounce and then dribble a ball!

I Am Learning To Sequence & Group Similar Ideas

WALT to sequence and group similar ideas. I think it’s easy to put things in the right order. I feel like I have got better at it.

I Am Learning About 2D & 3D Shapes

My Community Shape Art

I used diamonds, circles, rectangles, and squares. I made the Sky Tower, a flower and a house.

Te Tuhi Colour Wheels

We went to Te Tuhi and we learnt about the colour wheel. We learned that the primary colours are blue, red and yellow. We learnt that secondary colours are green, orange and purple. We learnt about tertiary colours too! We painted lime green, red orange and red purple too. Some of us thought it was tricky and some of us thought it was easy. When we made our colour wheel lady bugs the curvy cutting was really tricky.

I Am Learning To Sequence My Ideas

I found it easy to put my ideas in the right order.

I Am Learning To Subtract By Splitting Numbers

Look What I Know About Growing Vegetables!

I Am Learning To Use A Table Of Contents

I Am Learning About The Features Of Fiction Books

I Am Learning To Use The Word Folder

Sometimes I don’t like using the word folder because it takes time to find the words. It helps me to spell the words correctly. It has important words in it. I have circled the words in my weekend story that I found in the word folder. I know which words I can find in the word folder.

I Am Learning To Draw A Cat

I used spirals, and wiggly lines and circles. My favourite part was dyeing the cat and choosing the colours. It was easy!

I Am Learning About Fractions

I know half of the flowers was three flowers. I know what half of a rectangle looks like. I got confused with the symbols for a quarter and a half. I know how to colour half the rectangle. I like fractions. I think maths is fun.

I Am Learning My Forwards & Backwards Number Sequences

I showed my teacher that I know my numbers before and after between 1 and 100.

I Am Learning To Read And Understand Different Endings On Root Words

I can identify root words and endings and I know that the ending changes the meaning of the root word. These sentences are from a book I read called Lollipop, the Old Car. I have circled the root words in green and the endings in red. It is easy for me to find root words and endings.

I Am Learning To Use Capital Letters And Full Stops

Our learning intention: We are learning to use capital letters and full stops in the right places.

Our success criteria: Our sentences start with a capital letter - We have used a capital letter for the word ‘I’ - We have used a capital letter for names - We have used full stops at the end of our sentences.

My reflection: I used capital letters at the start of my sentence and for the word I. I used full stops at the end of my sentences. It’s easy to remember capital letters and full stops. I will try to remember to use capital letters for names.

I Am Learning To Draw Myself

First, I sketched myself in my art book, making sure I included all of my features. Then Mrs Millar enlarged my drawing to A3 on the photocopier and I outlined it using a black vivid marker. I coloured my portrait in using pastels. It was tricky to choose the right colours for my hair and eyes!

Welcome to Room 11!

This is me in Room 11. On our Hive of Learning wall display I am a flower. We talked about learning and I said: “A good learner moves away if someone is distracting them. I am going to be a good learner.”
