JARVIS AND JOHANNA'S TOOTH TALE!


When Jarvis bit into his hotdog today, his wobbly tooth fell out!

He thought he had swallowed it, but luckily he found it in his hotdog.

While Jarvis went to the office to get the 'special envelope' for the Tooth Fairy, Johanna came up
with this poem.
8 little teeth
in the mouth
One fell out
and it said
"Ouch!"
Another fell out
and said "Ouch!"
Now there are 6 teeth
in the mouth.


AMAZING 1M - YOU'RE WORKING EVEN DURING LUNCH!

SPOTLIGHT ON MAX!

An '8' poem sent in by MAX last night.

'8' is round,
'8' is cool,
'8' is what I learnt at school!

(Jarvis got the idea for this poem from a well known story. Can you guess what it is?)

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'.
