WE JUST LOVE WORKING WITH WORDS!




Some of us just can't get enough of WORKING WITH WORDS!











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.

MORE PATTERNS FROM HOME!

Here are some patterns that Johanna and Billee-Jane created at home.



We weren't tricked by the capsicum on each end. This pattern is a pattern about 5... an ABBCC pattern. What clever use of fruit and vegetables!


This one is an ABC pattern... a pattern about 3!




What can you use at home to make a pattern? How creative can you be? Don't forget to tell us about your pattern in a comment and bring in a picture to show if you can.
HAPPY PATTERNING!

NAME THE PATTERN - BEN HAS 1!

Well done, Ben for sending in a comment and correctly naming Laura's pattern in our 'Lunchtime Fun' post... it was about 6 - an ABCDEF pattern!

Johanna and Flynn made these patterns at home.



Can you name these patterns?



What number would you give them?

Make a pattern of your own. Take a picture if you can. If not, send a comment telling us about your pattern and draw a picture to show us.
