Counting backwards

I am learning to count backwards from 10. It is easy for me. It makes me happy when I learn.

Writing for a purpose

We published our story. Our story was about mum. Mum was our word of the week. We wrote our story so Mum could read it. We have been learning that we write for a purpose. The purpose of our story was to tell Mum something we like about her.   

"I had to write a story about my mum. I had to write a story about my mum so she could read it. I like writing for mum because I knew she would like it. Writing is tricky for me."

End sounds

I am learning to look at the beginning and end sound to help me read new words. 

"I had to find the end sound. I put a peg on the end sound. The picture was of a cat. The end sound is ‘t’. This is easy for me."
