Contractions

We are learning to find contractions in our stories. We know that contraction are two words that are squashed together. I can find contractions easily because they have an apostrophe in them.

I am getting better with contractions and knowing what the two words are that are squashed together in a contraction. It is tricky to write the contraction and know where the apostrophe goes. My next step in reading is to learn about fiction and non-fiction.

Fractions

We are learning about fractions. We know that one quarter is when we cut something into four pieces. We also learnt about halves which means we cut something two pieces. Fractions are ½ ¼ and ⅓. With fraction you start with one whole and you cut it into pieces.

I am good at fractions because I can cut a whole into two pieces and I know that is called halves and if I cut a whole into four pieces I know they are called quarters. My next step is to learn to add two numbers together by counting on from the biggest number.

Compound sentences

I am learning to write compound sentences. I can put two sentences together using and, but or because. My next step in writing is to write a longer story.

Counting back from 20

I am learning to count backwards from 20. I want to keep working on counting backward because sometimes I make mistakes. I like maths because I learn about lots of numbers.

Capital letters and full stops

Base words and word endings

I am good at finding the root words and word endings. It was tricky when I tried to find a different word ending for my root words. I like reading because when we do reading we get to use the iPads.
