Mrs M's Wonderful One Twos: Term 1 Weeks 3 & 4

Wow we have had some busy days in the last two weeks. It has been lots of fun.

We have learnt all about Magic 'e' and how it changes short vowel sounds to make them long ones. We can also say that Magic 'e' makes a vowel say it's name instead of it's sound.

We made words that have the Magic 'e' in them out of plasticine.

We also made Magic 'e' words out of magnetic letters.

In Religion, we learnt about the beautiful world that God made for us. We drew pictures of our families enjoying God's beautiful world.

We learnt to count collections in tens. We also learnt to count in tens from any given number.

We were making anemones. They are sea creatures. They have soft tube shaped bodies and a mouth surrounded by tentacles. They use them to catch their food.

Some fish are able to live and hide in anemones because they have a slimy coating on their bodies. Clown fish are one kind of fish that can swim in the tentacles of an anemone.

We made our anemones out of plasticine. Some looked really funny.

We used 'think boards' to show different ways we can represent numbers.

We also used them to write number sentences and number stories.

We are proud of our country. We coloured in the Australian flag so that we can hang them in our room. We also learnt that the Union Jack is a small version of the English flag.

We were acting out the story of the Three Little Pigs. It was lots of fun and we all took turns to be the different characters.

We also played Magic 'e' Bingo. That was lots of fun especially when we could call out "bingo".

Learning with Ms D.

We had an incursion. It was called Wake Up and Read. It was a magic show. It was funny and the man was really good at magic. He made a coin disappear from one hand but the coin appeared in his other hand. He could also juggle really well. He also made a book float, it looked really cool.
