Shoes and Reading? What's up here?

Mrs Perry LOVES shoes but we thought she took things a bit far bringing them all to school.
So, what did we learn?

We learnt that shoes are like books. By Keira

Shoes are like books because you choose a good fit book like you have to choose good fit shoes. By Iziah

Sometimes just because you like the shoes doesn't mean they're good fit shoes. By Milly

Shoes are just like books. Shoes need to fit you. If they are too big... not for me! Too small... can't get them on!! These shoes fit just right! By Martyn

Different shoes are for different people. Different books are for different people By Sam

Shoes have to fit you and so do books. By Emily

Oxford Owl eBooks

Awesome ebooks on line!

This is a super site with loads of wonderful ebooks. Some are online books that you listen to as you turn the pages and follow the text. Others are audio books, to enjoy listening to. You can choose a category and focus on books that are a 'good fit' for you. I am absolutely amazed at the fantastic choice of quality texts and I can't wait to hear what you enjoy reading.  

The link will take you to a page that looks like this. You need to click on 'My class login'.

Becoming Super Spelling Whizzes!

As part of our Daily 5 one of our activities is Word Work. I was really impressed with how focussed Room 10 was while working on their spelling today. Spelling is such an important life skill and knowing how to write the essential words quickly will help you become a better writer.
Look how busy students were today! Very exciting…

We talked about ways to practise at home and suggested using scrabble tiles to make your focus words. 

It was really exciting to get this photo emailed to me tonight showing what Tyler did. That's really cool learning - great job Tyler! Thanks for sharing :)

Spelling with Scrabble tiles - Fantastic idea!
