Baby Kate's Bath














On Thursday, Hannah's Mum, Susan, brought in her new baby Kate to demonstrate how a baby is bathed.  I am really sorry I missed it.  Some children also missed out  because they attend Greek School and Drama classes in the afternoon.  Everyone wrote about it today.  Here are some unedited recounts.

Recounts typically begin with an introductory sentence answering what, where, who, when and why.  They recount the events in order and use 'time' words like next, after, then and lastly.  At the end a personal opinion is usually given.  The introductory sentence was jointly constructed and key words for each event were listed on the board.

Our focus in writing has been using a capital to begin a sentence and a full stop to end.  The next focus will  be learning the skills of how to self edit work.

Thank you to Susan for allowing us to share such a wonderful experience.  Nearly half the class have not seen a baby bathed before.

Old Wives' Tales

Yesterday we were discussing old wives' tales.  Did you know if  a kookaburra sits on your clothes line the mother of the house is going to have a baby?

Mrs Robinson told us if you poke your tongue out at someone the wind might change and you will stay with your tongue out forever.

Joseph said it was bad luck to be inside a house with your umbrella up, under a ladder with a black cat.  We decided this was a superstition not an old wives' tale.

Can you think of any?  Leave us a comment.
