Zoo Words

After our zoo trip we got into groups and wrote down all the words that came into our head when we thought about the zoo. We used tagxedo to put them into an animal shape. Here are the results.

Rapping with ight

Each week we look at a word family.  We think of as many words as we can with that word family then we write a silly sentence with the words we have thought of.  This week we were looking at ight (ite) and while we were thinking of words Siale asked if he could write a rap instead of a silly sentence.  He worked hard over two days, to write and practice the rap.  Following his example Agnes, Calais, Sifa and Christine also wrote raps using words with the ight/ite sound.  They then used garage band, with the help of Leilani, to record their raps.  Here is the finished product. 

Can you think of any more words with the ight/ite sound?  Leave us a comment and let us know.

The Netbooks Have Arrived!

On Friday last week Mrs Kelly popped into our classroom with a mysterious black container.  At first we thought it might be filled with shoes or lollies but it was something even better - five new netbooks!  Today we started learning how to sign into google apps and it won't be long before we are google  experts.   

Here is Faith reading a story she wrote about our new netbooks.
