My Balloon Bird.

We had a great time making our balloon birds which go up and down.  Blowing up the balloons was very tricky!  They look so awesome.

Choosing a Book to Read.

I am going to the Pakuranga Library to choose a book to read at my house.

Shapes.

I am learning about circles, squares, triangles and rectangles.  I cut some shapes out of paper.  I made my picture using my creative ideas.  Here is my house made with shapes.  

"I made some yellow, circle bubbles.  The roof is a triangle.  I made two trees and they are very tall.  It was tricky to glue the big circle because I lost it and then I found it again."

I Can Recognise and Write - BIG and little.

I am learning to write the words BIG and little.

"This is my story - Mum is big.  Elijah is little.   I wrote the story in my book and then Mrs Kerr published it on the laptop and I could choose my tagul shape and my colours.  Writing is tricky because I don't know any stories.  Miss Te Wao helps me to write my story."

My Cool Cat.

My Pattern.

We are learning to make a pattern that continues.  If we make a great pattern, we can give it to our friends and they can finish it off.  They can figure out what comes next in the pattern. 

"My pattern is green, blue, red.  The next bead would be blue and then RED!  I like patterns because they are not hard to do.  I make patterns with the stacking blocks too."

I Can Read!

We are trying to read the hard words. We can look at the pictures to help us. We can look at the sound and try out the word. We like to read.

"I can read poems and little books from the teacher, myself.  I read a book to my mum and my baby brother too.  I like to read books about Lightning McQueen."

I Am Writing!

First I need to think about my story.  I can draw my picture.   I can copy the day like, Thursday.  I write a sentence to match my picture.  My teacher can help me. Sometimes my friend can help too.

"I like reading the words.  I like reading books.  I like writing too.  I write about my family."
