Bucket filler certificate
Congratulations to Ben for receiving a bucket filler certificate. You have been a great role model. You were great at settling in the new student in room 2. You've been a great help Ben.
Art portrait
WALT: Create self-portrait and painting them with water paint.
We can do this when: we use a pencil to draw ourselves with all the elements of a face and painting our portrait using relevant colours by staying within the lines.
Next step: Use our drawing and painting skills to design and decorate our art mural.
Ben created a very neat self-portrait using different colours and painting techniques. I love how you used a different painting technique with your brush in your background. Great work Ben!
Writing
WALT: write some information about ourselves through planning and ICT.
We can do this when: we write a detailed informative piece of writing and typing it up on a computer.
Next step: To add more detail to my writing to make it more interesting e.g. descriptive words.

I have used a dictionary. My next step is to use capitals correctly.

CARE Values
We are learning to show the CARE value Excellence. One way we did this in Term 1 was to have a quick tidy up of the school grounds. We picked up heaps of rubbish, returned sports equipment and delivered things to lost property.
Our next step is do this by ourselves when we walk past some rubbish or sports equipment that is in the wrong place. Reading
We are learning to use our knowledge of word families and blends to work out unknown words and spell words.
One game we play to help us with our reading and writing is 'Pass The Bomb'. We have cards with parts of words, word families (e.g ing) or blends (eg. bl). When the Bomb comes to you you have to say a word that has the letters on the card in it. If the Bomb goes off you have to keep the card. At the end of the game the people who don't have a card are the winner.

At the end of the game the people who don't have a card are the winner.
E.g. One card had 'bl' on it so we said words like black, blank, blast...
Our next step is to include some of the more challenging cards in the game.
Maths
We are learning to: recall addition and subtraction facts in 3 seconds or under.
We play a game with dice. Two people roll a dice at the same time. They then have to add or subtract the numbers on the two dice. The winner gets to challenge another person in the circle. Art Attack
Today we took part in an art workshop with Neil Shaskey.
We were learning to: sketch a portrait.
We showed we could do this when we could:
- Draw facial features the correct shape and size.
- Position facial features correctly.
- Use shading techniques.
We really enjoyed the workshop and were proud of the art work we produced. We thought the shading was hard but we didn't give up.
