On Saturday I read Daniel some books. Daniel's favourite is The Little Puppy's First Christmas. Mum and Daddy had a sleep in. By the time we got down to the bedroom the clock was on seven dot dot five zero!

One day a dinosaur came to help me climb up the igloo. He taught me how to do flips on the igloo and swing all the way across. He helped me go across by myself and he taught me how to run all away around the school doing the cross country. He helped me read my book too. He came to our house and he played every day. Sometimes we played dinosaurs and we danced in the weekend. My mum played ring a ring of roses. We loved falling over heaps and heaps of times. It was fun having a dinosaur at my house.

Poem - Week 4

Dinosaurs

Spread your arms, way out wide,
Fly like a Pteranodon, soar and glide.

Bend to the floor, head down low,
Move like Stegosaurus, long ago.

Reach up tall, try to be
As tall as Apatosaurus eating on a tree.

Using your claws, grumble and growl
Just like Tyrannosaurus on the prowl.
Do you know any other dinosaurs?

What other words do you know that begin with this sound?



Poem - Week 3

Ladybird
The ladybird's a beetle.
It's shaped like a pea.
Its colour is a bright red
With lots of spots to see.
Although the name is "ladybird",
Some ladybirds are men
So why don't we say "gentleman bug"
Every now and then?
