Anzac Ted

Mr Lewzey read us the book 'Anzac Ted' this week - this is a story about a teddy bear who went to World War One and then returned home where he was passed through the family to the soldier's grandson who brought him to school to share at a Toy Show.

Here is a YouTube recording of the story if you want to listen to it:

As a follow up activity, we had to imagine that we were Anzac Ted and write a letter to the boy's class explaining our back story.  Here are some of letters:

Oobleck - Recount Writing

Oobleck - it is a weird mixture!

Look at this video about our oobleck making experience!

As a group, we were really excited to write recounts about our oobleck making experience.  Please look at how we are using our sequence words - first, next, then and finally. 

We have also tried to stretch ourselves with our description writing - which description do you think suits the oobleck best?
