We are a class of Prep students, sharing all that's happening in our classroom. This blog was started by the first group of Gems, a Year One class back in 2007. We, the 2012 Gems are proud to continue on the conversation. You can read, watch and listen as we share our learning journey - a journey where we 'learn to blog' and 'blog to learn'. Please visit regularly to see what's new and join in the conversation - we'd love for you to be part of our learning.

MORE NIGHT PICS!

At times it's hard to see the stars through the clouds.


Other times they sparkle so brightly.


They look like 'little gems' in the sky.




But we love the fireworks the best!

Are you going to the P&F BBQ tonight?

nice, nasty, nap......THAT'S 50!!!! WE GOT THERE!!!
* UPDATE....FRIDAY FEB 23....Jacob's Challenge
CAN WE GET TO 60 WORDS?
nervous,

KNOWING ALL ABOUT 'N' - WHAT DOES THAT LOOK LIKE?


We do some fun activities to help us learn our letters and the sounds they make.
Sometimes the sounds are tricky.
We talk about what shape our mouth makes when we make the sound.
We think about where our tongue has to go.
Is it on the roof of our mouth? Is it touching your teeth?
Is it a voiced sound or are we pushing air out?
We worked out that when we make the sound of 'n', our mouths are open and our tongue is on the roof of our mouth.

We look at each other and practise making the sound.
Now we won't get confused with 'm'!


We also go on a letter hunt. We put on our special glasses and go looking for words that start with our focus sound.

We look
ALL around the room and write down any words we find.
We also search for the letter, too! We take a photo every time we find it. Look at the n's Sophia found.... on the number chart, the Word Wall Worm and on Naomi's name card.
WE LOVE GOING ON WORD AND LETTER HUNTS!!!

1M where else can you find n? What other words begin with n?
Take a photo, send in a comment. START HUNTING!

OUR NIGHT TIME PICTURES








Each week we create something that helps us remember the sound for the letter we are learning.

Today we drew
'night' pictures.

We drew with crayon on black card.
Our pictures show the moon, stars, fireworks and houses with the
lights out... because everyone is asleep, of course!
Come visit our room to see the rest of our pictures!
