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.

Writing time in Skippers

We are learning how to write Acrostic Poems. This is what the Commas came up with today..

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.
