Dr Seuss's ABC book- Writing

Today we read Dr Seuss's ABC book as we are having a Dr Seuss day tomorrow at school.
In writing we were learning about  Alliteration .
The children listened to the book being read to them.
We then looked at what alliteration was. As a group we chose an animal that we would see at the zoo. Together we thought of some words that start with the  beginning sound and wrote these down and then as a class we made our sentence. The children paired up and they had a picture of an animal and they wrote down their words and then  with the support of the teacher made up their sentences.

Alliteration happens when words that start with the same sound are used close together in a sentence. The sound is usually a consonant and the words don't have to always be right next to one another.

Library time

Reading for enjoyment is a very important part of school life. Students love listening to stories being read to them. The library time is a time for everyone to choose books that they like to read or to take them home for someone to read to them. The students are learning about the different types of books we read, who is an author, an illustrator and  what is the blurb. Ask your children what these all mean.

Here they all are in the library reading or finding books they like.
