Good morning Giraffe Class
It's Wednesday today and one of my favourite days as it's time for our literacy activity. I remember how good you were with Rhyming words so you are really going to enjoy this activity.
Let’s start today…

morning register
Do the morning register - look at what day it is and see if you can find your name and practise writing it.
You can either ask mum or dad to print a copy for you to write on, or you can make your own register to use at home.

some extra fun ;-)
DIY stuffed animals
You really can make a lovable stuffed animal (or insect!) with only four things: markers, construction paper, a stapler and recycled newspaper. It’s so easy and gets the kids excited every time.
Put two pieces of paper together, draw your animal’s outline, and cut it out, making two identical shapes. Decorate, colour and add as much detail as desired. Then staple the two pieces together about halfway.
Now for the fun part: Stuffing! Use pillow stuffing from a craft store, or just rip and ball up newspaper, and begin stuffing it into your creation. When fully stuffed, staple closed and you’ve got a keeper!
great learning today giraffe!
I am so proud of all the effort you are putting up Giraffes, you are doing a great job and I really enjoy watching your photos and videos :-)
