Just remember, Dr Seuss is famous for revolutionising children’s literature by using a limited selection of easy words. The Cat in the Hat only uses 220 different words throughout the whole book - and none of them are more than five letters long except for the word “SHOULD”.</span></div>

Or you can look for inspiration from your favourite Dr Seuss story, whether it’s Green Eggs and Ham, One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish or How the Grinch Stole Christmas! So do get rhyming!</span></div>

Monday 18th May<br />
Every week we'll try and add something new to our blog.<br />
This week I've added the week's spelling lists, so children can practise ready for their list test on Friday.<br />
<br />
We also have our first Rippa Tournament coming up on Thursday.<br />
Our Year 3-4 Rippa Team is - Jack Beaumont, Jake Glasgow, Ali Campbell, Celeste Hamilton-Dowling, Ty Browne-Hale, Tobey Hooper-Nicholls, Hanno Meissenheimer, Michele Kemp, Grayce Brothers, Gabby Minton, Tommy Rossiter, Ashton Fairhurst, Lucas Keller and Isabel Bouzaid.<br />
Good luck for the tournament.<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Welcome to our first post as Nikau Class. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">This is where we will share the work we're doing in class and inform you all of events and curriculum activities that are coming up.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">We read a great story today - ' Te Namu - the Nuisance Fly'. Ask your child to tell you about the Life Cycle of a sandfly.</span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03405058630837546255noreply@blogger.com1
