Water

This week in sustainability we have been finding out about water. Water is important because it helps plants grow and they would die without it. You can set up a watering system at home by using a plastic bottle to put in the ground next to the plants and drip feeding them. You can also put a timer onto your garden hose so that you don't waste water. We found out that the Maori word for water is wai.

 

Vortex

Today we had a go at throwing the vortex. Look at us go!

The Magic 'E'

The Magic ……

We have been reading about the magic ‘e’ and how it changes words like mad to made, slid to slide and mop to mope. When it is at the end of a word it makes the vowel go from a short to long sound, it makes the vowel say its name.

We hope you like the poem? We put a lot of effort into it.

‘o’ Meets Magic ‘e

Have you met the magic ‘e’,

Who likes to cast a spell?

And change a word with a trick,

It does it very well.

It uses a little trick of it’s own

to cast a little spell.

It changes words like hop  

to hope it does it very well.

It changes words like cop

to cope see now they are not

the same.

It changes words like not

to note so the ‘o’ now says it's name.

This special letter in the alphabet

is bossy can’t you see?  

Because the the way it changes words makes it the magic ‘e’
