I am learning to write my idea in a sentence that makes sense.

"I am good at sounding out the words, and I am good at spelling words.  Sometimes my writing doesn't make sense.  Mrs Wyatt helps me with my writing."

I am learning to use chunking to decode new words.

"I am finding the letters to make a word. It was hard because I couldn't find the letters easily.  I did it all by myself.  I felt happy when I was finished."

I am learning the patterns for numbers 1-5 are recognised instantly.

"I liked doing the missing numbers, because they were all easy for me.  I counted the beans, and my fingers."

Lot of fun playing Kiwiball

"I could catch the ball in the glove, and say 'chomp'."
