The sheets we have been using to learn about the ‘ee’ sound are attached below, just incase you want to ‘brush up’ your skills before you start!

Hive Level

We have been learning about the parts of the bee by listening to the Campbell Family, reading for information about bees and to label diagrams with Mr Mutch. By doing this you have been learning to sound out and read and write these words. This level will ask you to spell some of the bee’s body parts.

Queen Bee Gold Level

The parts of any living thing can be called it’s anatomy. Find out more information about the anatomy of a bee on this site. This level will ask you to spell some of these specialist words. Remember your spelling strategies.

Break the words into syllables.
Look for smaller words within the big words.

Spicy – Literacy – Writing no.3

April 27, 2020 Mrs Taylor 1 Comment

I selected ‘The Six-Legged Spider’ as my focus. It contained a conflict between the main character, the spider, and a long list of employers.

This was the front cover I redesigned. This was my second attempt. On my first try I included some of the challenges she faced in the story, but then I thought it might give to much of the plot away, so I had another go.

I looked at some other blurbs before writing mine. I came across some that didn’t give too much away, but made you want to look inside to find out more. I tried to keep mine similar to this, as well as short and sweet!

I can’t wait to see what you come up with Spicy writers! You can show yours to your teachers over on your Sway Journals or on Seesaw. 📝
