Week+5

Our Turn to Sew with Thread. Today we learnt more about cotton and it changing into thread. We also learnt that the eye of the needle is where you thread the cotton when sewing. We all had a turn at sewing a button onto material.

||  || We had to put holes in the bottom of the cups so the water drained. || We made holes with our fingers and dropped the seed in then we covered the seed with the dirt. || We had to water our seed. || Now we get to wait for them to grow.
 * || We are planting cotton seeds so we can grow cotton.

The Bear's Lunch

Last term we read The Bear's Lunch by Pamela Allen as our Accelerated Literacy text. When we had learnt a lot about the book and characters we turned it into a movie using our iPads. We were not allowed to show the movie with out Pamela Allen saying it was ok because it was her story, not ours and that is stealing. Pamela Allen wrote us an email saying we could show our movie. Here is her email.

Dear Courtney McLennan and the children of her class. I have seen your video of 'The Bear's Lunch'. I loved it. You have done so well. Thank you all. I am very happy for you to share it with others. I would like to show it to my special people

Keep reading and listening to stories Love Pamela Allen
