Excellent Writing in Room 6

Today we were learning how to use full stops and capital letters correctly.  We used and old family friend from the Devitt household...Oscar, Naomi's old Ted!

Here is some of the wonderful work...

Asher: Oscar is Naomi's teddy. Oscar is soft and he's got a stubby tail. He has a little brown bow. He is very precious. He is a very cute teddy and Naomi must love to cuddle him!

Lucca: Oscar has brown fur and two little brown ears. He has a brown bow and small black eyes and he is snuggly. He has a stubby tail and he's soft.

Abby: Oscar is a teddy who belongs to Naomi. He is cuddly and precious. He loves Naomi and he's floppy when you shake him.  He's small and snuggly. He's smooth and soft. Oscar has got a stubby tail and two little cute brown eyes. 

Pippa: Oscar is Naomi's little bear. He always gets up to mischief. He is a cheeky little bear and he drinks Naomi's milo every morning. Naomi sends him to his room.

Lauchlan: Oscar is Naomi's teddy. He is shady brown with soft fur and quite cute black eyes. He has a brown nose and a cute busy tail with three black stripes on both paws. Naomi has had him for a thousand years and she takes good care of him. She hugs and snuggles him at night and day and Oscar loves her.

Letting our toes do the talking

We have been focussing on the long "o" vowel sound.  We learned a short poem and decide to have some fun with it.  We used our toes to help us with the timing. Great fun!

Summer Reading!

Open publication - Free publishing - More reading
Research has shown that children need to keep reading during the summer holidays.  In fact, new studies have shown that if a child doesn't read over the six week break, they can fall behind as much as six months.  Your fantastic children have all worked so hard this year and I am delighted with the progress each and every one of them has made.  Please, please, please help them to keep going.  I have attached this document to give you some ideas of how to go about keeping literacy alive and well during the summer.  Keep it fun and do lots of talking! Thanks in advance, Corrinne
