Working on writing

This week we are working on our writing skills. We are looking at what makes a good sentence. In term two we are going to work on writing more interesting complete sentences.

Here are some fun online games to help the students recognize the differences between verbs, nouns and adjectives. These games also give the students some good ideas of words to use when they are writing. We will be playing these games in class this week, but I encourage you to play them at home with your children.

Have fun!
