I am learning to add and subtract problems that involve the number 10

"I am learning to count numbers. I am proud of myself for being able to count the numbers backwards. I find it tricky to do some of the harder problems over 10 because I can't do them on my fingers."

I am learning to use base words and endings to help me read and understand words.

I will know I have been successful when:

• I look carefully through words and notice how they end.
• I know other words that end with the same letters.

"I am learning to make new words. I am proud of myself for trying hard at reading time. I find it tricky to sound out the words. I can keep practising sounding out the words properly."

I am learning to use describing words

"I like writing and I am good at story-writing. I am proud of all the words I wrote in my brainstorm.  I find it hard to spell the words. When the words are tricky I sound them out, I can use the word card to help me."
