Room 5 Class Spelling Bee

Over the next few weeks you will need to be practicing their spelling bee lists. At the end of week 4 on the 7th of November the spelling bee test will be given. We have also added in a donation part of learning the words. This is purely for our class only. A donation sheet will be sent home with each leveled spelling list. If you do not want to use the donation sheet that is fine it is not compulsory. Please refer to the donation sheet for more instructions. 

One strategy you can use to learn your words is it to access http://www.spellingcity.com/.. You do not need a login or password for this site you can just put your words in and go. There are lots of different ways to practice on the site, so have fun and explore. 

On completion of the test you will receive a certificate and you will need to gather up any donation money you have raised and bring it along to school. We will then donate it to either Kids Can or Unicef.

We don't have to be ordinary, make your best mistakes.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


I hope you’ll make mistakes. If you’re making mistakes, it 

means you’re out there doing something. And the 

mistakes in themselves can be useful.…

And now go, and make interesting mistakes, make 

amazing mistakes, make glorious and fantastic 

mistakes. 


Break rules. Leave the world more interesting for your being 

here. Make good art.

Choice - Our Unfolding Stories.

We are nearing the end of the Choice programme. 

Last week most of us shared our unfolding stories. It was really interesting to see what each person put into their stories and it was great to find out a bit more about each other. 

We are really looking forward to going to the pool on Thursday as a way of marking the end of our programme. Hopefully the weather is good!

Squirrel v/s Eagle Narrative

Also, today we had a visitor in our class, a baby earwig. We thought this might be a good idea for a story. Feel free to give this a go. Use Google Docs and share what you write, we would love to see your ideas.
