Grace O's "or" Poem

For Spelling this week we are doing the "or" sound as in course.
I wrote this poem for homework.

Poem:

There's an orchid in an orchard
Un-der a beech tree...
And every time I see it
It calms me...
It's so authentic
And romantic
With its Authentic
Autograph!

The words that I used that were also on my list for Spelling were:
Orchid
Orchard
Authentic
Autograph

Welcome to Term 3

I hope you have all had a fun and relaxing break from school and are feeling refreshed for an exciting term ahead including our annual swimming lessons, Book Week and Footy Day.

Our topic this term is 'Splash' which is all about water! We will be learning about marine environments, the water cycle, the distribution of fresh water around the world, conservation and of course water safety!

Our focus in English will be narrative writing and we will be creating our very own picture storybooks. We will also be working on some still-frame animation stories involving sea creatures! Keep checking our blog for further updates!
