Silly Sentences

LI - write independently and sound out the beginning, middle and last sounds of words in a sentence.

Now that we know how to listen to the sounds and form first sounds, end sounds, digraphs and even the middle sounds, we can now write sentences by ourselves!!! This is one of the silly sentences I wrote down - My cat is not fat but my hen is not thin.

Phonics time!

LI - to recognise the first sound of a word

In Room 2 we are trying our best to sound out the sounds that we hear in a word. The word queen begins with a q, volcano begins with v, kangaroo begins with k and zoo begins with z! Look at the beautiful forming of my letters.

Reading Eggs

LI - to log on Reading Eggs

I am learning to log on Reading Eggs by myself. I am using a card that has my username and password. I want to practice this at home also so I can get better. 

I know how to go on the activities on Reading Eggs map. I am learning the sounds and I collect Gold Eggs!

Rhyming Words

We are learning to create a rhyming string.

In Reading we have been sounding out, writing, and reading rhyming words.  By practising this we are able to decode unknown words more effectively.

"Rhyming strings are easy because I know all the letters", said Roman.

I am learning to recognise punctuation

In Reading we have been learning the different types of punctuation in our books.  We know that an exclamation mark means use a strong voice, a full stop means the end of a sentence, and a question mark means someone is asking a question.  We played a game on the computer to help us remember the different punctuation marks.  Mrs Tetupu read the sentence to us and then we had to choose the right mark.  Here is a screen shot of the game we played:

"This game was easy because I know the full stop one."

We are learning to point to each word as we read

We are learning to point to each word when we read a story.  This is called one-to-one word matching and it helps us to focus on each word that we read.

"I am pointing to the words."
