Active Spelling

We are enjoying practising our spelling words in primary two so far. Each week we have a different spelling sound. Some of our sounds have been, ‘ar’ ‘qu’ ‘th’ ‘ch’ ‘ng’ and ‘sh’. On the third week we revise our last two sets of spelling words. When we are practising we write our words using bubble writing, and rainbow writing. We also write our words on whiteboards and use play-doh to make the words. This helps us to remember how to spell the words.

 

Ross – “I like spelling my words out of play-doh because play-doh is squashy.”

Olivia – “I like rainbow writing because it’s fun.”

Alyssa – “I like doing bubble writing because I like drawing and colouring.”

Ryan – “I like writing on my whiteboard because I like the thick and thin whiteboard pens and the whiteboard rubbers.”

Mr. Men Party

In Literacy we have been learning to write a list for our class party. We had to choose 7 children from our class and our favourite Mr.   Men character  for our guest list.

We had to use bullet points and organise under a title.  We know that proper names begin with a capital letter.  Ruby successfully created her party list.

We will be able to use these skills when we organise another event.
