Wow! More Special Learning in Room 16

Our Special Places

We are learning how to create different patterns. We had to make our own patterns up using waves, circles and lines.







Our Roof tops

We were learning to make straight lines with a ruler. We drew a picture using a ruler and a pencil. We had to fold the piece of paper into a square and then we had to draw the roof tops in the four squares.









Our Friends

We wrote about our friends. We had to write what they looked like, what they liked to do and what we liked to do with them.









Our Goals

We had to write some goals to help us improve our learning. For example my goal is to make new friends in Room 16. I can achieve this by asking if they want to play with me.
