We 'read' a fabulous picture book this week called The Whale. There were (almost) no words in the book! We were able to tell the story using the incredible illustrations.

Scavenger Hunt, Unwanted Visitors and Dinosaurs under the bed!
We have been learning to write instructions. On Thursday we did a scavenger hunt looking for bossy words (imperative verbs) in our class library.
The Level 3 Reading Group read about Unwanted Visitors by Michele Boston in the School Journal Part 2 Number 3 2008. The article provides information about the different kinds of wasps found in NZ but focuses on the Asian wasp. They made posters to warn people about them:
Jayden was inspired by a stop motion animation Mrs Miller shared with us called Dragons under the Bed. He made his own version - Dinosaurs under the bed! You can check it out on his blog: https://kwsjaydent.blogspot.com/. I'm sure he would love some comments on his awesome mahi.
