Term 3, Week 7

Charlotte's Web

This term Room 8 have been listening to the novel Charlotte's Web by E.B. White. When Miss Smith reads out loud to us, we have to visualise and make pictures in our heads because there are not many pictures in the book. We have practised this by shutting our eyes and listening to the chapters and then talking about the pictures we make in our minds. This is really cool because we all imagine different things!

Charlotte's Web is an awesome novel about a piglet named Wilbur who gets raised by his human friend Fern. Wilbur has many adventures on the farm but when he finds out he might become the Christmas dinner he gets the help of his friend Charlotte to save him. Charlotte, however, happens to be a spider, and Room 8 are about to find out how a small creature like Charlotte the spider can save a big pig like Wilbur.

We used our class novel to inspire our calendar artwork for this year. 

Check it out!

These will be coming home at a later date for families to purchase as a calendar. Until then, please feel free to come and have a closer look at our fantastic artwork in our foyer.
