STORYBOARDING SUCCESS

Today we started planning for the 'superhero' stories we are going to create in Comic Life.

Before we started, we looked at comic books and comic strips in the paper.
We saw how the story is set out in panels and it's often a 'conversation' between the characters.

We also looked at the storyboarding the big kids did at 'Kids Connect' and watched their finished 'comic life' movie.

Now we knew 'how' to storyboard. All we needed next was our story!

We collaborated with a partner on creating the pictures and the text.
Mrs M and Mrs R were 'blown away' by our clever planning.

Here's just a few of the exciting comics coming your way soon.
The adventures of SUPER GIRL - will she succeed in getting others to 'co-operate'?

Water Girl - when water's being wasted, it's Water Girl to the rescue!

Will Waterman stop the evil Flameman from encouraging others to play with fire?

We had so much fun but there's more to come!

Stay watching for our finished stories in Comic Life.

THURSDAY WORD WALL FUN

Every Thursday, one of our Word Wall activities is to put our Word Wall Words for the week in 'alphabetical order'.

Today we ordered 10 SUPERHERO words!

Here are the words:

Superman, Batman, WonderWoman, Flash, Robin, Thing, Spiderman, Mr Fantastic, Invisible Woman, Hulk

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.

CAN YOU THINK OF ANY MORE 'W' WORDS?

LEAVE YOUR SUGGESTIONS IN A COMMENT,

NEW LITERACY BLOCK FUN

This week the spotlight was on a new 'LITERACY BLOCK' activity.

Now that we know ALL the vowels and NEARLY all of the consonants, we can have fun being WORD DETECTIVES.

We SEARCH for MISSING letters.

This week we had to think about what sound the words began with, because the letters were MISSING from the

BEGINNING of words.


We were all ACE WORD

DETECTIVES
and we can't wait for our next case of
MISSING LETTERS!

If you have any ideas for our MISSING LETTERS activity, please email them to 1mgems@gmail.com . Our detectives love to have cases to work on!

WRITING WIZARDS

We couldn't wait to get back to school
and write about all the exciting things
we did on the holidays.

Mrs M said we have been 'WRITING WIZARDS' this week.

Here are some of the 'MAGIC' things we have been doing.

We have been 're-reading' to make sure that our writing makes sense.We are remembering where we can find words we need .... sometimes they're even on the blog!Some of us are using a 'SPACEMAN'-
to help us remember to put 'spaces' between words. Others of us are putting 'TRAFFIC LIGHTS' on our page to help us start writing in the correct spot and to write from LEFT to RIGHT.

Keep watching for more of our 'MAGIC' writing, coming soon.

Look at the sentences we have made at home, using our WORD WALL WORDS.
Callum, Courtney, Flynn, Jack, Emily and Harry have earned the title of 'SUPER SENTENCE STARS'.

You could be the next 'SUPER SENTENCE STAR'!
So get out your WORD WALL WORDS, make a sentence and bring it in to share.
