Writing<\/h2>
We read Voices in the Park by Anthony Brown. We noticed how the author gave us clues that helped us learn about each character. We took the characters from the book and put them in a new setting. We left clues for our reader, just like Anthony Brown. <\/div>

The next day it was my Mum's birthday. I was lucky because Smudge was sitting at the same table and she was sitting beside me. Smudge brought  some playing cards to play with her dad, but instead she played with me. It was fun, well apart from Smudge's Dad because my Mum was being a bossy boots to Smudge's Dad. <\/div>

It was my birthday so I drove to a nail salon to relax. When I got there, it seemed an age, but finally the lady talked to me. She couldn't even find my favourite nail colour!<\/div>

Team Dolphin and Team Rubble have been reading 'My Mum' by Anthony Browne. We have been working on 'hooking' the reader with interesting starters and 'hooks' throughout the writing. Our character writing is about Mum:

My Mum<\/div>
My Mum is sweet and actually she is the best Mum. She plays with me. My Mum has blue eyes and orange hair. <\/div>

She's cool, my Mum. My Mum is COOL!!! My Mum is nice because she's kind. She looks like a beautiful butterfly. My Mum looks 21 years old. My Mum is a paediatrician, that is a type of doctor. She likes biking. She likes running. She's very cool, my Mum. My Mum is as smart as an octopus. My Mum is lovely and beautiful. I love my Mum. And do you know what? She loves me too!<\/div>

Amazing Asia<\/h2>
A huge thank you to the families who have shared aspects of their culture with our children as a part of our Amazing Asia learning. This week Rahul and Aparna joined us to share traditional Indian dress, food and fascinating facts about India. The children really enjoyed the experience.
