Literacy: reading the Cheat story and revising contractions

We began by revising contractions from yesterday.  We must take care with spelling when we write contractions, and we must be sure to put the apostrophe in the right place.  The apostrophe goes where the missing letter used to be.  Check the board above.

Afterwards we sat with partners and we read the whole story of Cheat! by Judy Waite together.  We found out that the painting Danny stole was painted by Mr King himself, even though he is blind.  Mr King started a new painting each day.  Danny took an unfinished one, completed it himself and entered it into the competition.

At home please read the comprehension sheet entitled Mr Majeika and answer as many of the questions as you can for practice.  We will check the answers tomorrow.  Enjoy it.
