ANOTHER BUZZY BEE UPDATE

Room 21 is having a great time and still working hard at such a busy time of year! 

Here are some reminders of important dates that are coming up, as well as an update on what we are learning at school.

We are learning what fitness really means and what we can do to help ourselves get fit and healthy when we use the new adventure playground.
We exercise our arms, legs, back, feet, hands, eyes and brain when we do a course challenge.  Don't let your feet touch the tiles or you might get eaten by a shark!

We are learning about the different sounds the letter y can make in our poem.  It is in the words you, your, body, fluffy.  It makes a 'yi' sound at the start of words like you and an 'ee' sound at the end of words like fluffy.  Sometimes it changes the way a words sounds like the y in Floyd!

We are learning about the digraph 'ght'.  It was in yesterday's poem and is in words like bright, light, right, brought.  The g does not make a sound!  We see this digraph a lot in the books we are reading.


We are learning to write interesting stories.  We use the treasure bag to help us. Our writing is incredible and we will bring it home at the end of the year!
