BILLEE-JANE'S CREATION!

Billee-Jane had a surprise for us this morning.

She was busy last night being a CREATOR and DESIGNER.

Look at the letter 'r' finger puppet she made!

She used felt, stiched the sides together and glued on some eyes.

We think it's REALLY RAD!

We pick up a camera and go on a WORD HUNT or a LETTER HUNT.

Here are some we found today for 'd'.

WHO CAN BE CLEVER AND FIND A 'D' WORD WHEN YOU'RE ON THE COMPUTER? YOU"LL NEED TO LOOK CAREFULLY!

EXPLORING 'E'

This week we have been investigating the letter 'E'.

We discovered that 'e' can make 2 sounds.

One is a 'short' sound, like we hear at the beginning of 'egg'.

The other is a 'l o n g' sound, like in 'emu'. We hear 'e' saying it's name.

Here are all the 'e' words we thought of or found. We've sorted them by 'short' sound or 'l o n g' sound. Mrs M said it was an EXCELLENT EFFORT!

SHORT 'E':

egg, eggcup, echidna, excellent, edge, extra, empire(we knew this word because of 'Star Wars') effort, electric, elastic, eleven, empty, energy, emperor (we knew this word because of 'Happy Feet'), engine, end, enter, envelope, environment, EFTPOS, eskimo, ever, everyone, everybody, everything, everywhere, exit, EKKA (short for exhibition - our annual show/fair is known as this), expensive, exercise

(we love the 'egg' graphic - we sing "exercising egg, 'e', 'e', 'e'!)
