Narrative writing

For our mini lesson in writing we looked at how to use speech marks correctly. We think Sefa came up with the best sentence. What do you think?

Sefa's sentence was:

The curious baby cried "Mummy help me!"

Celebrations

HALLOWEEN!
We looked into the celebration of Halloween this week. Jack-o-lanterns are a big part of the Halloween tradition so we made some out of paper plates. The lanterns look amazing in our classroom so come in and have a look.

Cultural Celebrations homework task

Letter writing

We have been letter writing the last couple of weeks. We decided to write letters to our favourite performers from the RWC opening ceremony. We used the mimio earlier in the week to highlight the features of letter writing. You can look at this and write your own letter at home.
