Tuesday art gallery

Dear Parents
Please remember to put your child's morning tea and lunch in a named plastic bag as the 4 adults have to carry 6 lunches each and the bulky plastic containers can make it akward for us to manage.
The water bottles must be named too thanks.
Regards
Ingrid Young

Full marks for spelling test List 3! Well done children! Ka pai!


Meerkat artwork


We learnt to draw and paint meerkat. While painting we learnt about tone - starting with white and adding darker tones of yellow and orange.

Great way to learn spelling

Dear Parents and Children
If you go to the spelling city site http://www.spellingcity.com/9room9/
you will see Ingrid Young. Click on the name and a number of spelling lists will come up.

Next find the spelling list that your child is currently on.
Get your child to login as a pupil and remember to keep the login details.
Record in these  inside the front cover of their reading log book.

Now they are all set for a great spelling experience.
First there is the pre-test. Then there a variety of games to play, utilising those very words.
Its a lot of fun to go on e.g. Hangmouse!

I will show them on the IWB tomorrow if you are having trouble they should be able to help you.
Its an easy and fun way to learn spelling and they will use the login details at school when we do a rotation of reading, writing and spelling games each week.

Have fun
Ingrid Young
