OUR LATEST LEARNING

Today we learnt how to use the spellcheck when we are doing a post.

It is on the toolbar and it looks like a tick with ABC on it

We clicked on it and it locates the words that are the wrong spelling.

They come up yellow. We clicked on the yellow words and they came up with a list of the words it could be. We hope we chose the right spelling.

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.

OUR FIRST WRITING

Today we wrote in our journals for

the first time.

We tried to use some of our Word

Wall Words or listen to the sounds

we could hear in the words.

Some of us even had SPACES

between the words.

Mrs M was sooo excited and

proud of us.

We are proud of ourselves too.

Tomorrow we want to post our

writing ourselves!!!
