Well done students in their spelling test today – as we missed a day this week, we had a lot of work to do and everyone worked very hard throughout the lesson today to catch up.
We finished two readings this week, as well as making some excellent descriptive sentences of our family such as:
‘My mother is pretty’
‘Her old grandfather’
‘Our tall father’
Next week we will be focusing on birthdays and toys.
Another excellent week and I look forward to seeing the students on Sunday!
The students are thoroughly enjoying ‘Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes!’ and are singing and doing the dance with great enthusiasm!
We will be having a spelling test tomorrow to review the words that we learnt from last week. Here are the ten words:

I will be handing out some sheets with the words with matching pictures after the lesson this morning.
