Goth girl

My favourite books is the Goth Girl series. There are at least three books in the series, and at the end there is a mini book that one of the characters writes.

I have read two books myself - one is called The Ghost Of a Mouse and The Fete Worse Than Death.

My favourite one is the second one about the Christmas fete.

I SPY

My favourite book is called I spy. I like it because you find things and you point to them. You find umbrellas, dogs and other things as well.

Journey to Tangiwai

There's a boy that is always late for school.
 A bridge falls down and the train falls down  into the river.

Goosebumps

The next door neighbour was a ghost.
He killed a guy because he was horrid.
It is a scary book.

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

I love this book because there are mythical creatures and magic, I also like this book because there are other wizarding schools.

Thea Stilton

My favourite book is Thea Stilton and the mystery on the Orient express. I like this book because it's got a lot of detail in the story.

My favourite book

My favourite book is called Dino Racing. It's my favourite book because it's about racing. It's cool because it's about Dinosaurs.

Rumpelstilskin

My favourite book is Rumplestiltskin.

I love when Rumplestiltskin explodes and when Ruby marries the greedy King.

My favourite book

My favourite book is called Sophie the Awesome. It's a really cool book. What I like most about this book is that it's got a lot of detail in the sentences and got lots of characters in. It is a chapter book and it's really good. I have read it once but I have started to read it again.

                                                                                                         

Dear Parents and Caregivers,
Three weeks into the school year, and it seems like we’ve never been away! The calendar in the staffroom is frighteningly full already…

Reading Diaries 
We will be starting our reading groups next week, but children can read books from home or one they bring from school. After reading, they need to fill in their reading diary with the title of the book, the date and a comment.

Basic Facts Homework 
This week, we are starting with our basic facts homework. Your child has 4 copies of their basic facts level in their homework book, one for each day this week. The basic facts homework follows this routine (for now):
Day 1 Children to complete the sheet - parent to check that they’re correct
Day 2 Work on the facts that were wrong on day 1 – write out the family of facts for that fact. If all were correct, complete the whole sheet
Day 3 Complete the whole sheet again and time yourself
Day 4 Complete the whole sheet and time yourself – try to get it done under 4 minutes

If your child is new to this school, their facts may seem too easy for them. This is on purpose – they are meant to be easy at the start.

Kiwi Can 
This is a weekly session with Dom and Richie which focusses on respect. This term’s theme is “Positive Relationships – being a good friend”. The sessions are run in the hall and take place on Mondays.

Meet the teacher Tuesday and Thursday 
Hopefully, your child has given you their green notice with the time of their interview. If not, please ring me at school.
I look forward to seeing/meeting you on Tuesday or Thursday this week.

Humpty Dumpty

Humpty Dumpty sat on a bin

                                                               Poets go fishing
                                                           Line loose line tight
                                                       Poets go fishing for words
                                                   Unreeling unfeeling under the sea
                                                    Kersplat kersplat wave go kersplat
                                                                poets go fishng
                                                               catch catch catfish
                                                                 poets go fishing
                                                  fiery fingers streetched over the sea

Poets go fishing

Poets go fishing

 

Poets go fishing for words

Cantankerous waves crashing on the sea shore.

Poets go fishing for words

Unreeling, unreeling until they match, what did I catch?

Poets go fishing for words

Fishing and wishing for words

Poets go fishing for words

poem

Poets go fishing

Poets go fishing for words

Fishing for buckets of words

Poets go fishing for words

Fish lurched on the line

Poets go fishing for words

Cantankerous creatures catching catfish

Poets go fishing for words

Catch this, catch that

Poets go fishing for words

Line loose, line tight

Poets go fishing for words

Lumpy bumpy words
