TYPING MAT FUN


Today we used the typing mats to type our werd wall werds. We were practising spelling our werds for this week and lerning where the letters are on the keyboard so we can type quicker.










It was hard to get the right fingers on the right key but it was fun and soon it will be ezee.
We used the spellcheck on this post but we don't think all the werds are right.
BY Courtney and Laura
(Remember you can also practise your typing by going
to Dance Mat Typing under Links on the sidebar or by clicking here...Mrs M)

NUMBER 5 PICS FOR ELIZABETH


This post is brought to you by the number '5'!

16 days ago, Elizabeth, from INKLESS TALES, left a poem for us on our post 'ALL ABOUT 5'. It was a poem about the number '5' and we were the first to read it!


The poem did not have a title and Elizabeth asked for our suggestions. Here are suggested titles we left as comments:
* FAVOURITE FIVE from Lauren
* FABULOUS FIVE from Ben
* SUPER FIVE from Talia
* FIVE PEOPLE HAVING A PICNIC from Callum
* MY FAVOURITE NUMBER IS '5' from Patrick
* PERFECT FIVE from Johanna
* 6 IS NOT MY FAVOURITE NUMBER from Jarvis' Dad
WE WONDER IF ELIZABETH WILL USE ANY OF OUR SUGGESTIONS?

We have also been busy drawing pictures about '5'.

Here are some that have been completed.

'FIVE toes in sneakered feet' by Emily
'FIVE days at school' by Matthew'FIVE windows in my house" by Courtney
'FIVE cats chasing a mouse' by Tierney

'FIVE members in my family' by Jacob (above) and Patrick (below)

'FIVE people from around the world' by Lauren
'FIVE bees' by Max
'FIVE birds in the tree' by Bryce
'FIVE playing basketball' by Laura
'FIVE friends' by Johanna

EIGHT ELEPHANTS - A POEM BY LAURA





I ATE EIGHT
ELEPHANTS

SO I HAD A TUMMY ACHE



AND IT GAVE ME EIGHT HICCUPS!!




ALL ABOUT '8'


Where do we see '8'?
What things have '8' about them?
We went on a search.


A stop sign has '8' sides.

This shape is an OCTAGON.




'8' notes on a piano is an OCTAVE.

A spider has '8' legs.

So does an OCTOPUS.


Here is a rowing
'eight'.

And in our room we found...




'8' masks,




'8' pictures so far in our 'Dan The Flying Man' story,






'8' words under 't' on the Word Wall,

August - the '8th' month of the year,



'Alistair',
'Harrison' and 'Courtney' - all names with '8' letters




and '8' kites flapping in the breeze.










Here is a pattern Laura whipped up. It's also about '8'.
(You can read Laura's poem about '8' in the next post)

Where else do you see '8' ?
Go searching and leave a comment telling us what you found. Take a picture and bring it in or do the same as Laura and write a poem about '8'.

AND NOW FOR OUR POEMS....


HOORAY! LET'S JUMP AND CHEER
CELEBRATE THE CLEVER POETS WE HAVE HERE!











Poems about the number 'seven' by BILLEE-JANE

Seven is sporty
Seven is sleek
Seven is the number of the week



Seven little mice running through the fields,
Seven kangaroos hopping in the hills,
Seven magical fairies dancing in my yard,
Make a rhyme about number seven,
It's not very hard!


Another poem about 'seven' by ALISTAIR


Seven iceblock sticks,
running to their surfboards.
Come on girls,
get your leg cords.


LAURA has a poem about the number 'six'

Six chirping birds
in the tree
They are as loud
as they can be.



"Rain, Rain - Soccer Train" by BEN

Me and my dad are going to soccer training
I hope it's still on because now it is raining.





A 'sun-smart' poem by PATRICK

Each day at school
we have some fun,
We show we're cool
wearing hats in the sun!

THANKYOU MRS DUFFY FOR HELPING US WITH THIS POST :>)
