Roma: At the red rainbow learning you need to write the sounds and you had to trace the sound and the writing was joined up. I was practising the igh sound joined up.
Lucas: you had to join the letters up I was joining the ee sound and the ai sound.
Cordelle: I liked joining the letters together. It was tricky but when I practised I was able to do it. It made me happy.
Carter: On the green rainbow learning you had to make numbers with loose parts. One of my numbers was one thousand, you need 1 and then 3 zeros.
Logan: I made the number ten, you need a 1 and a zero.
Amelia: On the blue rainbow learning was a smart board game. You had to pick a level to play and then you had to listen for the smart board to say a number and we need to press it. I found the number 19.

Mara: The yellow rainbow learning was the tuff tray you need to write 10 sounds in the sand on the tuff tray. I wrote m, ee and e.
Scott: I made some sounds at the tuff tray. I made i and a.
Igor: I liked writing sounds in the sand in the tuff tray. I wrote b, o, c and m.
Jane: For fiddly fingers you had to make puppets. I made a teacher puppet. You need to cut the person out and colour them in and then put pins in to stick the body together. There was also a vet and doctor.
Anna: All the puppets were all jobs. You could make a teacher and police.
Roma: There was a nurse too.
Phonics
Michelle: we were learning the ‘oi’ sound.
Carter: The oi sound lives in the lift in the vowel house. ‘boy’ has the ‘oi’ sound.
Freya: the ‘oy’ go at the end of a word and the ‘oi’ goes in the middle of the word.
Michelle: if the ‘oi’ sound is at the beginning of a word you use ‘oi’ not ‘oy’.
Rojin: I was playing ‘sh’ bingo. A ‘sh’ word is shoe.
Shea: I was learning the ‘sh’ sound. I know that ‘sh’ is for shark.
Amelia: Me and Anna got the golden ticket because we can read all the sight words.
Anna: We showed them to Mrs Smith. She was happy.
Here is a link to the oi song we have been listening to in class:

We also watched this video to help us think about words with this sound in it:
Numeracy
Carter: we were learning about the word ‘larger’.
Pati: larger means bigger. 11 is larger than 10.
Roma: 19 is larger than 14.
RE
Carter: We went for a little tour at the church, St Phillips.
Freya: Father Kenneth gave us the tour. The light was there and that meant the special things about Jesus were there.
Anna: I saw the clothes that the priest wears.
Lucas: The bowl is where you get baptised.
Rojin: I saw the cup where you put something in it to drink.
PE
Lucas: we were learning about athletics.
Shea: we were jumping like kangaroos. You need to bounce.
Rojin: we were playing with the parachute.
Freya: we played the cat and the mouse game with the parachute. I was lying down under the parachute so no one could tig me but they did.
Paul: I liked playing with the parachute because we made it like a tent.
Thanks for the update! Anna loves doing rainbow learning 🌈
