I am Learning to Identify 2D and 3D Shapes.

In Room 8 we have been learning about Geometry. We have looked at different 2D and 3D shapes and their different parts. We learned that shapes have different numbers of sides, faces, edges and corners of vertices.

We had a lot of fun making monsters out of different shapes!

My shape monster is called Killsafia. He is an octagon. Id he was a 3D shape he would be an octagonal prism. He would like to play snakes and ladders.

My Reflection

I think that my shape monster looks good. My favourite part about it is it's colour. I also like his sharp teeth!

I found geometry easy because I knew some of the 2D and 3D shapes already.

It is easier to count sides on a 2D shape than a 3D shape.

I am Learning to Recognise and Read Long Vowel Sounds and Silent e.

I am in Thumper group for reading. We have been learning about silent e and how it changes vowels to make a long vowel sound.

Success Criteria:

- Read words without silent e correctly.

- Read words with the addition of silent e correctly.

- Understand that silent e changes the sound of the vowel.

My Reflection

I think that I did a good job reading the words with long vowel sounds. It was easier to read the words without the silent e because I knew the sounds of the letters. It is also easy to read the words with silent e because the vowel says its name.

I am Learning to Try My Best.

I participated in the Year 2 Cross Country. We have been practicing on Tuesdays and Thursdays this term. I came in first place!

I am Learning to Write a Cinquain Poem.

In Room 8 we have been learning how to write a cinquain poem. These poems have a special order that the words have to be put in. We have practiced writing cinquains in our writing books and published our most recent poems on Spring.

Success Criteria:

- All words must relate to the topic.

- The second line must contain two adjectives.

- The third line must contain three verbs with an -ing ending.

- The fourth line must be a four word sentence about Spring.

Spring

Warm, new

Zooming, flying, running

In Spring we play

Lovely

My Reflection

It wasn't hard or easy to write a cinquain poem, it was in the middle.

The easiest part was the colouring and the hardest part was to think of adjectives.

It was easy to think of some verbs.

I am proud of my poem because everything about it is great!
