Exploring Words

The Kinders have been busy exploring words, syllables and collaborative skills with Mrs. Wood during their literacy sessions.   

Lincoln:  "When it was a long word we got up and when it was a short word we crouched down like this."  

The Sentence Inquiry 

In a quest to become better writers, our Prep learners have been improving their sentence writing by practising their editing skills.  As collaborators, they have been doing a fantastic job at working together to rebuild sentences and take turns to correct mistakes in Miss Pearce's weekend writing.  

Max:  "We have been fixing up mistakes...we are putting up our hands because we want a turn at reading the words." 

Matilda:  "I was changing the 'o' to a capital."

Noah:  "I'm watching Molly fix your 'i' mistake."

Bella:  "I'm sounding out the words...the birthday word!"

We would love to hear from you!

If you have any sentences we can edit for you, please send your sentences to school. 

Our current writing and editing strengths are:

- including finger spaces between words,

- using capital letters,

- sounding out,

- choosing the right beginning and end sounds in a word,

- full stops,

- rereading to check our sentences make sense. 

Please also send the Early Primary class any interesting words you know and an explanation about why you find your word interesiting.  We would love to hear and learn from you!
