Spelling Buddies

Room 21 are working well towards achieving the target of learning all 230 words on the essential word list.

WHY do we learn how to spell?

Sew we can rite ackuratly an mor importintly, so uthas can red wot we rite ezely!
(Did you have to read that carefully? :-)

Here is Room 21 at work as buddies, testing each other on a Monday afternoon. I wonder who will be the next speller to achieve the infamous 230 words in room 21?

SAME but DIFFERENT

This year, we are learning about the big concept of SAME but DIFFERENT.

There are similarities and differences between cultures.

We are learning that...around the world people do the same things in their daily lives but in different ways. People also value different things.

There are rules or laws that help us make sense of the world.

We are learning that...the sun is the same regardless of where you are in the world. The planet earth moves around the sun. Day and night can be different in different places. The position of a country on the planet affects its climate and seasons.

The arts help us to create and express ourselves in different ways.

Our ideas/stories, and others' ideas/stories can be expressed in art.
