Some of the fun clips we watch to help us remember the alphabet and high frequency words.

Word Study this week:

Handwriting – ‘ss’ and ‘zz’

ss – words – hiss, miss, Tess, pass

zz- words – buzz, Jazz, fizz

The children also copied short sentences to extend their learning about high frequency words and sentence structure. The children then drew pictures which demonstrated their comprehension of the text.

Play Investigations

Book Making

Author study – Pamela Allen

This week we have been taking about characters in Pamela Allen books.

We made a long list of characters she uses, they include:

Dragon, boy, bear, king, queen, families, ducks, cow, monster, girl, baby, policeman, elephant, walrus, grandma

We also talked about how Pamela Allen draws her characters the same all the way through her books. – Like the little boy in the story – Is your grandmother a goanna? The boys has green shorts and a blue top, he has a back pack and a hat on throughout the book.
