Kandinsky flowers

Room 4’s masterpieces are inspired by Kandinsky’s painting ‘Squares with Concentric Circles’. We really loved how Kandinsky experimented with the use of colour. Our paintings are our own experiments with colour and inspired by Kandinsky’s painting above. First, we had to choose our favourite primary colour to paint our background with. We then blended two primary colours at the top and bottom of the page to create a secondary colour and an interesting background for our own circles. If we used a warm background, we needed to try and use cooler colours for our circles. We really like our paintings because viewers can decide whether our circles are flowers in a field, balloons in the sky or lollipops in a shop!! We love using our imagination.

Describing words

I am learning to use describing words to make my story exciting. I am so proud that I can use describing words and that I am trying my best. I am proud that my story makes sense. It can be tricky to sound out describing words. The next steps for me might be to read my story again and add more describing words. I could look at pictures for ideas of describing words and read more poems and books.

"Lovely is a describing word."

Compound words

I am learning about compound words. I watched a video about putting compound words together. After the video, I had to match two words together. Some of the words I made were "rainbow" and "outside". I am proud that when I kept trying I got it and I tried my best. It is tricky to try and figure out which ones went together. Sometimes I get these words confused with contractions. Next time, I could look at the blue words and the red words and read them out loud to see what words can go together.

Look at me practising throwing at a target. 

My scooter skills story

This is my published recount about when I brought my scooter to school for a scooter skills clinic. I had to write a story about what I learnt or liked. I am learning to use capital letters at the start of my story and at the start of a new sentence. I am proud when I remember to use a capital letter in my story. It is tricky remembering where to put it sometimes. Next time I could try using a full stops in my story too.

Root words and word endings

I am learning to identify root words and their different endings. I had to circle the ending of the words. The ending of “looking” is “ing”. Other word endings I can see in my readers are “ed”, “er” and “s”. I am proud of how I circled the endings of the words. It is tricky to circle the ending and not the other letters.

Alina: This is tricky for me to circle the word endings. Mrs Bovill had to help me.

Ordering numbers 1-20

I am learning to order numbers from smallest to biggest in the range of 1-20. I had to put the numbers in the caterpillar body in the right order. It can be tricky putting the numbers together in the right order because it is tricky to move the mouse on the laptop. I am proud that I can put them in the right order.
