Good morning everyone!

Welcome to Thinking Thursday 

As well as continuing to work on the activities in your workbooks, we have some fun learning to do today. Remember, you can do these at any time that works for your family. If you need to contact me, my email address is: [email protected]

Please read ALL the way to the bottom of this page as there are some cool website links for you to have a look at too.

Our day looks like this…

‘Room 2’ Google classroom for the rest of the day.

10:00 am Thinking game – to get your brain ready for the day!

10:10 am Spelling activity – using your word lists, do the following:

  • everyone – write your words as small as you can with a pen
  • then read/spell them using the characters below – when you have practised them, come back into the classroom and read them to us using your favourite character voice
  • AtoZ spelling group – 2 activities

 

10:30am Writing for today and tomorrow – use your Writing book, a piece of refill paper or you can create a google doc on our Room 2 drive (I can help you) and type it in on your chrome book.

We have been focusing on writing all our ideas down and adding details to make our story interesting for our readers.

Choose a title to write about. When your story is finished, you can read it to us in the google classroom.

About the Author:

Teacher, mum and nana, that's me! I love being part of sharing learning in Room 2 at Poroti School, where I work on Thursdays and Fridays and also do some relief teaching as well. When I'm not teaching, I knit, sew and crochet, read heaps of books and bake for my family. We have chickens, fruit trees, grow our own vegetables and live off the land in a chemically reduced way - eliminating plastic and toxic sprays. I also make my own soap and body care products.
