Writing in Room 9 and 9a

Today we had fun during Writing

We used our butterfly cards and word ending caterpillars to write about the rat character from the big book. 

Cody ordered the letters of the alphabet which are written on cut up pieces of noodle.

We all practiced writing the upper and lower case letters of the alphabet.

Writing

We have been using some of the common words to help us write sentences.

One day this week we used "I am' to help us start a sentence.

Kate was very clever and helped Mrs Burge to find the word I using the butterfly card.

We are getting clever at finding words we know in the red, blue or yellow boxes.

We can also hear the sounds in words we don't have on the butterfly card like 'ktn' for kitten.

Reading

In Reading, we have been learning to use our fingers to show letters, words, first sounds and last sounds.

 Olive could find the first sound - 'r' for 'reading' and show Mrs Burge with her fingers.

Kate, could use her fingers to find the word 'am'.

Sophie, could use her fingers to show the final (last) sound 'g' in the work 'riding'. 

We enjoyed reading some of the books we have already read with Mrs Burge and our families from our book boxes too. 

Reading is fun!

Our first attempt at Writing!

Writing

Today we did Writing for the first time. 

 

We were so clever at using our butterfly cards to find letters and words. 

Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star

Our Poem for this week is Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star

We used oil pastels to draw the stars.

Then we used ink to cover the whole paper. 

The ink was like magic and it ran off the oil pastels so the beautiful stars shone through.

Room 9 visitors

Mrs Burge and Mrs Edmonds are very excited to start up our class on Monday.

We had Ethan, Kate, Eric, Sophie, Tai and Alexander come for a visit on Friday. 

Ethan and Sophie enjoyed playing in the home corner. 

Kate liked the colouring books.

Sophie, Alexander, Eric and Tai had fun on the junior playground.

We can't wait to see you all ready for school on Monday morning.
