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.

Grandparents' Day.

Today my grandma came to Elm Park School.  She is helping me to make a beautiful star with wool.

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 like my picture because I cut some circles to be some bubbles.  I put red windows on my house.  I chose good colours for my trees."

I Can Recognise and Write - BIG and little.

My story - My mum is big.  Tiffany 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.  I like writing and I get the cloud words in the classroom and I copy them into 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 yellow circle, red square, yellow circle, red square.  The next bead would be a yellow circle.  I can make a pattern with the shapes too.  I like patterns because they look pretty."

I Can Read!

I am trying to read the hard words.  I can look at the pictures to help me.  I can look at the sound and try out the word.  I like to read.

"I like to read about some fairies and butterflies.  I like reading to my mum."

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 to draw the pictures.  I like to write the letters.  I am getting better."
