We Are Learning To Draw A Self-Portrait

Self Portraits

This term Room 9/27 have been learning to sketch a picture of our face.

We practised in our sketch books first and it was a very long process.

First we had to get the shape and size of our head right.  Then we had to work on our features like our eyes, nose, ears and mouth and other details that made us who we are.  Then we added in our hair and neck and shoulders.  It was hard work but we are very proud of our finished pictures which we coloured in using pastels.

We Are Learning To Read For Specific Information

Indie's Reflection:

I like reading about fiction stories.  My favourite story is about a frog.

Sometimes when I read I don't know what the words say -  last night I was reading 'My Brother' and I got stuck on the words 'having' and 'giving'.

My family can help me if I don't know the words at home.

We Are Learning To Add Detail To Our Writing

Indie's Reflection

I like to write about my uncle.

Sometimes it is tricky to sound out the words.

When I get stuck I can look on the word card.

I am learning about graphs.

It is easy for me because my fingers can help me.

We did a pie graph about our eye colour.
