Shotover Air Show

We are doing a lot of thinking around writing this week in Skippers. We're looking at procedural texts (instructions). In order to understand how to write instructions, we had to follow some to make a paper plane.  Check out our planes! Next we're going to write our instructions.

Nga Taonga

We found treasures in our own little rock pool.
I do like to be beside the seaside.

Fergus' Writing

How Does Our Community Help Us?
by Fergus McMurdo

I think the airforce helps us by keeping us safe at war and by helping us when we are hurt. 

Firefighters help us by putting out fires. Also they help us out of buildings. I think teachers are good because they help children. 

Phonics!

We are learning the digraph "ss".

Digraphs are two letters that make one sound. 

Please ask us to write you some ss words tonight.

Last week we learned "sh" and "ll" which are also digraphs. 

 

Get Well Soon

There are a lot of sick people so we are writing Get Well Soon cards in the writing centre at Town Time. You might receive one from us. 

Card Making

Writing Practise

Romeo: "I am making a card for you Miss Eve."

Harper: "I'm writing letters."

Jemma's Visit

We had a visit from Ana and Aria's mum Jemma. She works at the airport. She taught us about all the different things she does in her job. We enjoyed your visit Jemma, thank you for coming.
