I can match the correct number to the set of objects

Bunnings visits Elm Park

I am learning to find words on my word card

In Writing we have been learning to use our word card.  It has some words in the colourful boxes and these help us to write our story.  If we need to write a word that isn't on our card we can say the word slowly and write down the sounds we can hear instead.


"I keep on trying when I am writing", said Armani.
